Flyers sign Foster

[4thstreet]

The Philadelphia Flyers admit that they need help on the blue line and took a significant step in that process Sunday, signing free agent Kurtis Foster.

Foster, 31, has been in the NHL for 11 seasons and has 41 goals and 114 assists to go along with 283 penalty minutes in 382 games.

Last season, Foster played for three NHL teams. He started the season with Anaheim, but was traded to New Jersey and then moved to Minnesota. He finished the season with four goals and 14 points in 51 games.

The 6-foot-5, 225-pound defenseman played for Finnish club Tappara during the lockout, scoring three goals and three assists in 13 games.

Foster, who made his debut with the Atlanta Thrashers in 2003, has also had stops in Tampa Bay and Edmonton.

still confused as to why they gave Gervais 2 years at 825k per.At least this signing is only 1 year.See how he pans out,and go from there.

these 2 are obviously just some spare parts till the prospects work their way in.

He has an absolute cannon from the point and can significantly improve the PP. With that said he was a nightmare in his own end.

But when he was on the pp point it was the best our power play was all year.That said I'm going to hate seeing him in orange and black.
