Jody Shelley won't be cut by the Flyers

He's too big of a part of the locker room. He's an example for the young guys. The Flyers brass likes him and will honor his contract, if they didn't he wouldn't be here. Think if the team released Blair Betts before him when Betts has had such a bigger role than Shelley in recent years, if the team was cutting guys solely based on on-ice contributions, Shelley would be gone. But they didn't. He's the kind of guy that Paul Holmgren and Peter Laviolette love, cutting a guy with great work-ethic and a great attitude could only hurt this young team.
