Free-agent Guerin skates with Flyers
options
 

Free-agent forward Bill Guerin, who played last season for the Pittsburgh Penguins, was on the ice today in an informal workout with the Flyers at the Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees, N.J.

"I was down in the area visiting my father-in-law who lives in Medford [N.J.]," Guerin said. "I was going to be in the area anyway and I wanted to get on the ice. My agent talked to Paul [Holmgren] about possibly having me come here and skate around with the guys. It was nice. It was good to finally get back on the ice and skate.”

 

Guerin was asked if any future deal could happen with the Flyers. "I really don’t know," he said. "Right now, honestly, it is just about getting back on the ice. I’m just getting myself in shape, skating shape, to be ready just in case anything happens somewhere. I am definitely looking to play this year.”

Guerin, who will turn 40 in November, has played 17 seasons in the NHL. He has played in 1,263 games and has 429 goals, 427 assists and 1,660 penalty minutes. He is a native of Wilbraham, Mass.

    Dump Carcillo and add him, he brings more to the table.

    Despite his age he would be an upgrade to some of our wingers.

    Absolutely sign him, we saw what he did to the pens in 09. And how much better he made crosby.

    He'd be a good replacement for Asham. Guerin can still put the puck in the back of the net.

    What about Rusty Fedetenko or Ryan Potulny? Must less expensive and younger wingers available.

    Get rid of Shelley and have Carcillo as a healthy scratch. Lineup could look like this: Carter-Richards-Van Riemsdyk Hartnell-Briere-Leino Zherdev-Giroux-Guerin Powe-Betts-Laperriere

    Get him signed and send Carbomb packing. He would fit nicely on the first line.
