Flyers claim forward Adam Hall from Tampa Bay Lightning

POSTED: Wednesday, April 3, 2013, 12:18 PM

The Flyers have claimed forward Adam Hall off waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.

Hall was traded yesterday from the Carolina Hurricanes to Tampa, but needed to clear waivers before the deal could be completed. The Flyers, however, snapped up the 32-year-old forward.

Hall has scored 65 goals and notched 82 assists in 591 career games. The Flyers will be Hall's sixth NHL team. After being drafted 52nd overall by the Predators in 1999, Hall spent time with the Rangers, Wild, Penguins, Lightning, and Hurricanes.

More to come.

He gets a point every 4 games of his career. This point be a sign that something HUGE is in the works. Holmer is finally going to unload 1-2 big names like Hartnell, Kimmo, or Bryzg.

Ed Snider is becoming our Ralph Wilson( Bills). Don't think we'll be seeing another cup as long as he's around. Holmgren just isn't up to the job of NHL GM, and Snider just refuses to see it, just like he didn't see it with Bob Clarke for so many years.

Relax guys....the Flyers are just scrambling to get enough warm bodies to put out there to have a game. The few puny acquisitions they've made recently aren't meant to turn this team around or make them SC contenders. They are just minimally serviceable warm bodies. Nothing more.

Another guy to dig the puck out of the corners. Now if we only had someone to put the puck in the net.

SO why did Hommer make this move? Does he think he is getting over on Stevie Y in Tampa by doing this? Do not see why we need another 32 year old player on this team. But also it could be to have guys to play the game. I would much rather see the guys from the Phantoms called up to play the rest ofthe season.

Forsberg is not available? Might as well go old school and call Lindros.

This may just be payback for something, like the Bolts signing that Chara wannabe.

Why pick up Hall? Wouldn't it make more sense to bring up some AHL players to fill the holes in the roster?

another useless pickup by the dyers. they should have gone after raffi torres from phoenix. they need somebody as nasty as raffi, he likes to hurt opposing players.

Could have gotten your 1 point every 3 games (and younger & better than 1 in 4) by bringing up Wellwood...ok he's a LW but fuggin A this move is garbage. Give youth a shot and you still might back into the playoffs.
