The Flyers now have 21 players under contract, with qualifying offers to restricted free agents Dan Carcillo and Darroll Powe still pending. Here is a look at the Flyers’ projected lineup heading into the 2010-11 season: FORWARD LINES LW Simon Gagne C Mike Richards RW Jeff Carter LW Scott Hartnell C Danny Briere RW Ville Leino LW James van Riemsdyk C Claude Giroux RW Dan Carcillo LW Jody Shelley C Blair Betts RW Ian Laperriere DEFENSE PAIRINGS LD Matt Carle RD Chris Pronger LD Braydon Coburn RD Kimmo Timonen LD Sean O’Donnell RD Andrej Meszaros GOALIES Michael Leighton Brian Boucher Extras: LW Darroll Powe, LW Riley Cote, D Oskars Bartulis Just got off the phone with Paul Holmgren and for the life of me I still can’t figure out the Jody Shelley signing. Unless Ian Laperriere is planning on retiring I can’t understand why the Flyers would want Carcillo, Shelley and Lappy in the same lineup every night when they desperately need a guy who can finish alongside Claude Giroux.
