from the Philly News,
Even after using $10.5 million in cap space against this year with the moves he made last week to land Kimmo Timonen and Scott Hartnell from the Nashville Predators, Holmgren said Saturday the Flyers still have enough money to spend in the bidding for the top three centers available: Scott Gomez, Chris Drury, and Daniel Briere.
“We have room to do things,” he said. “And we have room to be creative. We’ll see what happens starting July 1.”...
Beyond what they have to spend, the Flyers will be looking to reduce salary either through contract buyouts or trades. One player being speculated about is 23-year-old defenseman Joni Pitkanen.
Holmgren said that interest in Pitkanen was minimal despite reports to the contrary.
“There has been very little talk about him in the last few days,” Holmgren said. “There’s been more speculation about him by [agent] Larry Kelly and the media. Lots of teams ask about our players, but I’m not sure [Pitkanen] is the one they ask the most about.”
