Breaking : Flyers Sign New Jersey Native James Van Riemsdyk
Breaking……
After reporting earlier this week on a hunch that the Flyers would sign former Flyer James Van Riemsdyk, it has now became official.
Gonna say this now. Personal opinion & have an odd gut feeling the #Flyers will sign James Van Riemsdyk. Something similar to Kane in SJS. 5-6 years – around $7M AAV. Maybe a tad cheaper if he takes a hometown discount. #FlyersTalk #LetsGoFlyers #EarnTomorrow

According to multiple sources, the Flyers signed James Van Riemsdyk to a 5-year $35 million dollar contract. His AAV will be $7M.
One problem that presents itself with James Van Riemsdyk is it may signal current Flyer, Wayne Simmonds, may be on his way out in a trade.
More information to come tomorrow.
