Marty may not be a Flyer for long,

[DWarner]

The Philadelphia Flyers signed goaltender Martin Biron to a two-year contract extension on Tuesday.

 

''We are extremely pleased to get this done,'' Flyers GM Paul Holmgren said in a release. ''Marty has come in and played well and we look for him to be a solid goaltender for us for the next two years.'

Marty has officially signed a two year extension with the Flyers. I guess his wife Ok'd the move.

I'm not saying Darcy didn't do well in the trade -- he did much better than I was expecting. I'm just saying that salary inflation seems to be continuing, and that there is likely a "halo effect" for Sabres free agents that is at work as well. Since we've got a few guys (can't remember who) due for free agency this summer...

 

I see what your saying, I just don't think it indicates much in terms of salary inflation.

They are going with him as a #1, he's a veteran, and he would probably have taken a

4 yr. deal under 11 mil. Because it is only 2 yrs, I think they are paying a premium.

This extension makes it worth it for them to have given up their 2nd. Good luck Marty. Philly has a ton fo cap room to spend, so well see.

 

But 2007 is our year!

 

Go Sabes.
