Flyers announced today that they have signed center iceman and faceoff specialist Randy Robitaille. Per club policy of course, financial terms were not disclosed.

Clarke: “Robitaille was one of Minnesota’s leading scorers last year. He was their top faceoff man and can play center or wing. He had 40 points, is a really good skater and can play both ends of the rink. We believe that he’ll add to our offense next season.”

Randy: “It is definitely exciting news to b part of an organization such as the Philadelphia Flyers. Obviously, they are a first-class organization who looks to achieve great things each year and winning the Stanley Cup is their first priority.

“Especially with the way the new NHL is going, speed and skill are at a premium. I am 5-foot-11 and 195 pounds, so I like to try to use my speed and playmaking abilities to generate offense for the hockey club. The Flyers have some pretty big-name guys and I just want to contribute any way that I can.”
