The Philadelphia Flyers return to the ice tonight, playing a nationally broadcast game to kick off the NHL's new season.

ESPN is reporting that Peter Forsberg, former center for the Colorado Avalanche, has signed with the Philadelphia Flyers for 2 years and over $10 million dollars. The move will put the Flyers over the salary cap, thus reports are surfacing that the Flyers will deal center Jeremy Roenick, the team's highest paid player, to the Los Angeles Kings for draft picks. Roenick, you might recall, was outspoken during the lockout.

The Flyers held a press conference on Saturday announcing their return to the city. The NHL Owners and Players have each ratified the new collective bargaining agreement, paving the way for the 2005-2006 season of hockey.

It's over. It's over. It's all finally over. Today, the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players Association agreed, in principle, to the terms of a new collective bargaining agreement. All that stands in the way of the 2005-6 season of NHL hockey is the players' ratification of the new CBA, which is expected to happen without a hitch.
