These cheesepuffs didn't even seem that Esche returning to them as a possibility, even after SKA St. Petersburg traded him to HC Dinamo Minsk (I don't know who, or what SKA St. Petersburg got for Esche) and Minsk may be toying between signing him or Niemi.

Also, very few Flyers fans actually knew that fans of their opponents nicknamed their team "cheesepuffs".

From Flyers GM Paul Holmgren, Michael Leighton has a bulging disc in his lower back and is expected to be out of the lineup for one month.

Also from Flyers GM Paul Holmgren: Ian Laperriere is out indefinitely because of post-concussion symptoms.

Yet another victim. I have a feeling that we'll be seeing more of those popping up. David Booth of the Panthers comes to mind.

Hopefully Booth gets his career straightened out, as he seems to be a promising young player. It's too bad about Laperriere. I have always enjoyed him as a tough-as-nails type of player. Great 4th line guy.

They are the Flyers. That's all the reason you need to despise them and all they stand for.

Damn it! During my suspensions I went on the Flyers boards (with the same account I use to go on the Laffs boards) and I discovered that their emphasis on physical players cost them shots at signing goalies on the UFA market.

Jeff Carter has agreed to terms on an 11-year, $58 million contract extension with the Philadelphia Flyers. The cap hit starting next season will be $5.27 million per year.

The Philadelphia Flyers continue to lock up key pieces of their organization as forward Jeff Carter has agreed to terms on a new 11-year, $58 million contract extension.

The cap hit for Carter's new contract will be a reasonable $5.27 million starting next season. He was scheduled to become a restricted free agent on July 1st as he is in the final year of his deal that will see him earn $5.5 million this season.

The contract breaks down as follows: Carter will earn $6 million next season then $6.25 in 2012-13 season, $6.5 in 2013-14 and $6.75 the year after that. He will then earn $7 million for two seasons before going back to $6.5 million for the 2016-17 season. He is set to earn $5 million in 2017-18, $3 million in 2019-20 and $2 million a year in his final two seasons of the deal.

While Carter is not eligible for a 'no-trade' clause in his contract for the first year, he has a full 'no-trade' clause for years two through four. After that he has a modified clause for the remainder of the contract's duration.

Earlier in the week the Flyers also signed forward Claude Giroux to a three-year, $11.25 million contract. The team is also reportedly working on a new deal for forward Ville Leino who is set to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end.

A London, Ontario native, Carter is enjoying a solid start to the season with a team high eight goals to go along with six assists in 16 games.
