The Philadelphia Flyers announced that they have re-signed 6’2″, 200-pound center R.J. Umberger to a new two-year contract, according to club General Manager Bob Clarke. Per club policy, financial terms were not disclosed.

“We think that R.J. Umberger proved that he is a good, solid National Hockey League player with tremendous upside and he is only going to get better,” said Clarke in making the announcement. “Last year, he was really good for us. He is one of the future building blocks of our organization. There is nothing not to like about the way that R.J. plays the game and experience will make him better. He plays hard. He plays with determination. He has good skills and speed. He is just a good, complete hockey player.” [.continue.]

Seems like Umberger wants to be around for awhile, eh?
