Flyers sign recently acquired Denis Gauthier to a 3 year extension.

Bob Clarke – “When we traded for Denis, we obviously liked him and wanted him on our club. We knew his contract was up at the end of this year and he was going to be unrestricted so we pursued him and we were able to come to a deal. We think he adds a lot to our club. Besides being a solid NHL defenseman he brings a physical part to his game that we felt is necessary for our team.” [.continue.]

Signing Gauthier for three years will mean someone else won’t be back. So right now you have Gautheir, Hatcher, Rathje, Meyers, Jones. Both Meyers and Jones can be sent down to the Phantoms

Pitkanen, Johnsson, Therien and possibly Desjardins will have to be resigned after the season.
Even if you send both Meyers and Jones down you will still only keep three out of the other 4. So who will it be?
