Flyers Sign D Steve Eminger

According to the Yahoo Sports and the Sports Network, the Flyers have signed recently acquired defenseman Steve Eminger to a one-year contract.

I'm happy to get the deal worked out and excited about being part of the organization," Eminger said. "I can't wait for the start of the season to get things going."

As mentioned before, Eminger will compete for the final defensive pairing with Lasse Kukkonen, Ryan Parent, and Janne Niskala. Terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed, but I'd assume he received some form of a raise over the $1 million he made last year, but likely not much if any. The Flyers now have 7 defensemen under contract and 1 left to sign in Randy Jones: Kimmo Timonen, Derian Hatcher, Braydon Coburn, Steve Eminger, Ryan Parent, Lasse Kukkonen, and Janne Niskala.
