So says former Flyer Todd Fedoruk.

“Eags did a good job last year. He saw a lot of heavyweights and I think he’s very capable of fighting the heavyweights in this league.”

“But I think at his age he does need a veteran heavyweight or maybe a young up-and-comer.”

I don’t agree with the Fridge that the Flyers need basically another enforcer.
And his quotes really contradict each other. First he says Eager is capable, then he says he needs help.
I can see a veteran heavyweight, but a young up-and-comer? Eager is only 23 and really only played one full season with the Flyers, playing 88 games over the past 2 season.

Lets look at the other players on the team. I don’t know much about a few of the recent pickups Lupul, Hartnell, Smith but the Flyers have a few guys that can throw down. In the past Richards has taken it upon himself to go at it. I think its quite possible that he develops into a defensive type of player that takes care of business. And what about Hatcher? He plays real good defense as along as he doesn’t have to move. I would rather have him have these extra duties then tying up more cap money trying to sign a #1 heavy weight. Isn’t he big enough?
