Flyers sign Carcillo to 1-year deal
The Flyers signed forward Dan Carcillo today to a 1-year contract, according to general manager Paul Holmgren. Carcillo will earn $1.075 million in 2010-11.
“We are happy to have Dan under contract for the 2010-11 season,” Holmgren said in a statement about the 6-foot, 205-pound left winger.
Carcillo's signing puts the Flyers approximately $2.497 million over the league's $59.4 million salary cap. Holmgren will have until the regular season begins on Oct. 7 to pare the roster back down to fit the cap.
Carcillo, 25, had 12 goals, 10 assists and a team-high 207 penalty minutes in 76 regular-season games this past season. He led the team in hits with 194. He also became the first player, alongside Boston Bruins’ forward Shawn Thornton, to be assessed a fighting major in the NHL’s Winter Classic, on Jan. 1, 2010.
Carcillo originally filed for salary arbitration last week before agreeing to this deal.
C'mon! We're a lock for the Cup now!!!— BigShow- Regardless of whether you are for against the signing, Carcillo's name will be etched on Lord Stanley's Cup in 2011. BOOK IT.— KDH
- I was fine with bringing back Carcillo until they signed Shelley. I'm not sure what Lavvy is going to do with 2 guys who they don't want to dress when they go deep into the playoffs. Asham can play in all situations and provide points. That is who I would've put the money towards.— Danno
Comment removed.- Nice to see Big Tom peeled himself away from eating glue to add his wisdom to the message boards...— UncleEddie
- icarus Oh boy! The Flyer with the biggest Zebra bulls-eye on his jersey is back for another season of game-changing penalties. Maybe Mr. H. can trade Gagne to the Rangers for Sean Avery and the Flyers could have their own real-life Hanson brothers line. Hell, don't even need to make a trade. Just bring up Cote.— redcans
- Why not Asham over this idiot.... Now we get to look forward to another season of him averaging over 1 penalty per game...— Phillyfan8181

- Dear Mr. Homer, Now that Carcillo is signed, please promptly trade him elsewhere. Thank you very much.— horhey
Why sign Shelley and Carcillo? I'd rather invest in Asham! I still think every team needs one tough guy but now we got two who hurt us more with bad penalties instead of scoring opportunities!- Stiff! Where have you gone Bruce Cowick?— EDDYEDEAGLES
