The Philadelphia Flyers have signed Ben Eager to a new two-year contract. $1.2mill over 2 years.

GM Paul Holmgren on the signing

Ben is another one of our younger players that continued to develop last season. He is a big, physical presence on the ice and adds a key dimension to our lineup. We expect Ben to be an important part of our core of young players that we’re going to continue to build upon.

And Eager

I’m really excited. The team is looking ahead and I’m happy to be a part of things, especially with the core group that we have here. There’s going to be a lot of excitement over these next few years and I’m happy that I’ll get to be a part of it.

This is a good deal for the Flyers, I have always liked Eager. I would like to see him focus more on his offensive game.

But lets checkout some of his ‘real’ skills.
