Zherdev to wear number 9

After a news period so slow that a typo on the Flyers website said Zherdev was to wear number 99, Zherdev's number was announced. The Russian right winger will wear number 9 this upcoming season. Zherdev is the only Flyer Forward with a one digit number.

Other Jersey Changes:
Jody Shelley will wear #45.
Andrej Meszaros will wear #41.
Sean O'Donnell will wear #6.
Matt Walker will wear #8.

No word on who will be named assistant captain to fill Gagne's role. When Gagne went down with a concussion in the 08-09 season Jeff Carter took the "A". Kimmo Timonen will presumable wear the "A" again this season. Pronger is my guess for the second "A". Mike Richards will retain captaincy.
