Flyers Sign Forward Michael Ryan to One-Year Contract

The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have signed left wing Michael Ryan to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He attended the Flyers' training camp this past September on a tryout basis. In six games this season with Springfield of the AHL, he has one goal and two assists for three points. He last played in the NHL during the 2008-09 season with the Carolina Hurricanes, recording two assists in 18 games. This is really just a depth move for the Flyers, as Ryan was assigned to their AHL affiliate in Adirondack after the signing. He should provide lots of offensive skill to Adirondack throughout the course of the season.
