Quote Holmgren on Jeff Carter: “We’ll get him signed,” Holmgren said, flatly. “I have no doubts about that . . . I refuse to live in fear [of what other teams might do].”

My take: I like Jeff Carter as a player, but I wonder if the Flyers would match a high-price offer for his services. They already have centers Mike Richards and Daniel Briere under long-term contracts at big bucks. To match a Carter offer, would have them spending too much cash up the middle. Especially with their need for help on defense. If a team were to sign the restricted free agent to a deal about $4.5-5 million, I see the Flyers taking the draft picks as compensation and letting Carter walk.
