After Devil's captain Jamie Langenbrunner was scratched from the line up last night versus the Flyers word came out the the long time Devil had agreed to waive his no trade clause. Speculation arose and rumors came out that the Flyers are among a big group of teams that are interested in the US born olympian.
However this morning Langenbrunner was traded back to the Dallas Stars. The team he grew up and bloomed into the NHL star that he is today with.
The fact that the Flyers were even in the bidding for Langenbrunner shows that Paul Holmgren has hopes of improving this Flyers team before spring. With Leighton sent to the Phantoms and Matt Walker recovering from his hip injury, the Flyers have a tad over 3 million to spend.
The Flyers handed the Devils their 28th loss of the season last night on the heels of a late game come back headed by the goal scoring of Danny Briere and Scotty Hartnell. Each had a pair of goals and Boucher won his 9th game of the season and lowered his GAA to 2.31.
The Flyers next game is Saturday against these same Devils and maybe some new faces as the Devils can dress a full roster.
