Flyers Re-Sign Andreas Nodl and Tom Sestito

The Philadelphia Flyers announced on Monday that they have signed left wing Andreas Nodl to a two-year contract worth $1.69 million. The deal will pay him $845,000 per season. The team also announced they have signed left wing Tom Sestito to a new contract. The exact length and financial terms of his deal were not disclosed. Both players would have been restricted free agents on July 1. In 67 games last season with the Flyers, Nodl had 11 goals and 11 assists for 22 points. Sestito was acquired by the team on February 28 from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Greg Moore and Michael Chaput. In nine games last season with the Blue Jackets, Sestito had two goals and two assists for four points and 40 penalty minutes. He did not appear in any games with Philadelphia. He also played in 57 games with Springfield and Adirondack of the AHL, scoring 13 goals and 22 assists for 35 points and 237 penalty minutes. These aren't bad depth signings for the Flyers, as both players will should fit in well on the checking lines. Nodl will bring some two-way ability to the third and fourth lines, while Sestito will bring lots of grit and toughness to the team.

EDIT

Tom Sestito's contract is for one year.
