Massimo Rizzo has signed a new contract with the Philadelphia Flyers.

Penguins need to be right behind these two recent signing and get Broz on contract already.
They need let that guy have his path in.

Canes gave him and 5th round pick for Kase's brother playing in Czech Republic, Don WaddeLL masterclass

Huge W for Briere, love to see this.

I mean he was dealt for a few reasons
1. He was an excess good in the Hurricanes farm system
2. As a favor to Daniel Brière after he bought out TDA so that we could sign him

Good pickup for Philly.

Is Massimo the new Rizz king?

I really like Rizzo, I think he will be a solid middle 6er in the NHL with some decent upside. Good get for the Flyers when they traded for him, but I have to commend the Canes ability to get assets back for NCAA prospects that wont sign (no matter how minor those assets are)

Great name, great signing.

He wasn't actually in the Hurricanes farm system -- he was in college -- but they did seem to have an overabundance of good college prospects. I'm sure you're right about it being related to the DeAngelo buyout though. There's a rule that says you can't retain salary if you trade a guy back to the team you got him from, so the buyout combined with the Rizzo trade was a way to get around the rule and end up with the same result.
