Mark Streit is officially a Flyer. The former Islander captain reached agreement on a four-year deal. Terms haven’t been released yet due to the club being over the cap. Updating the contract, TSN’s Darren Dreger says it’s rumored to be $5.25 million per year.
The Islanders traded Streit’s rights to the Flyers in exchange for minor leaguer Travis Harper and a 2014 fourth round pick. The 35-year old Swiss native joins a crowded blueline in the City Of Brotherly Love. Also under contract are Kimmo Timonen, Braydon Coburn, Andrej Meszaros, Luke Schenn and Nicklas Grossmann. Bruno Gervais is also signed through next year and Marc-Andre Bourdon.
Philadelphia is expected to amnesty someone. The most likely candidate is Ilya Bryzgalov. He’s signed through 2019-20 at an average cap hit of $5.67 million. It’s sure to be another wild off season.
