On the Philadelphia Flyers …
Tim Panaccio of CSN Philly: Flyers defenseman Michael Del Zotto is a pending unrestricted free agent and knows that he could be traded by the trade deadline.
“It happens every year,” Del Zotto said Tuesday. “It’s not like it’s the first time. I’ve been traded before. It is what it is. It’s a business.
“You realize that pretty early in your career. I understand where I’m at as far as my contract, being a UFA this summer.
“Same thing with taking each game one day at a time. You take each day one day at a time. Go home, make dinner, get ready for tomorrow and whatever happens, happens.”
Del Zotto carries a $3.875 million salary cap hit. He’s averaging over 19 minutes a game. He missed 22 games earlier this season with a knee and leg injury.
Del Zotto is the leading candidate to be traded by the Flyers, with Mark Streit next in line, followed by one of their two goalies – Steve Mason or Michal Neuvirth.
