Powe gets 3-year deal with Wild

POSTED: Tuesday, July 5, 2011, 1:58 PM

Former Flyer Darroll Powe has signed a 3-year, $3.2 million deal with the Minnesota Wild, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting.

Powe could have filed for arbitration today, but instead signed a multiyear deal to buy out the first 2 years of unrestricted free agency.

Powe was traded last week for a 2013 third-round draft pick in a move to clear salary cap space before free agency began.

The Princeton University product led the Flyers in hits and was a strong penalty killer.

Didn't like seeing him go. Good for him. The Wild are lucky to have a great penalty killer, 4th line guy.

We got a better player in Nodl for less.

No idea why Powe is a great penalty killer. Nothing great about Powe with exception of hard work. Replaceable player. Good luck to him!

I will not miss hearing 'The Princeton grad' every single time his name is mentioned during a game or other media.

The Flyers have an entire roster of players like Powe. What they don't have is top notch talent. But just think of all the $$ Mr Snyder and Mr Luukko will save on red bulbs that go in the light behind the goal. One red light bulb will last the entire season!
