Another opportunity might be coming Howsen's way... In Howsen we trust.August 5, 2009 | 9:33am ET
The Philadelphia Flyers are believed to be among the teams interested in signing veteran forward Todd Bertuzzi.
Flyers interested in Bertuzzi
TheFourthPeriod.comBertuzzi, who is not likely to re-sign with the Calgary Flames, is expecting to find a new home this week.
The 34-year-old winger told the Calgary Herald he'll likely sign with a U.S.-based team, and the Flyers are one of the clubs that have shown interest.
In 66 games with the Flames last season, Bertuzzi tallied 15 goals and 29 assists for 44 points.
Flyers GM Paul Holmgren has been looking to add another forward, presumably for the team's second-line.
Should the Flyers add Bertuzzi, or any other forward, they may have to pull the trigger on a trade to shed additional salary.
Bertuzzi made $1.95 million last season and should see his salary inch closer to the $1.2 million range.

I'd love me a Braydon Coburn (too bad he's a left hand shot). He only makes 1.4 million so I can't see him being the cap casualty I'd hope for.
Instead guys like Carle and Jones will be offered up but the question is will there be any interest? I can't see Howson biting on Carle's contract and Jones doesn't fit the profile - especially at 3 mil.
Philly will have to move someone as according to capgeek.com they only $300,000 to play with.
Perhaps their plan is to bury someone in the minors.
Totally with you though eplagge -- there will be fallout from these moves and hopefully Howson is there to pounce on the fallout.

I think Howsen is lurking in the dark, waiting to strike.. I would be highly surprised if he doesn't make a move before training camp... it just appears there are too many opportunities...plus we have inventory, picks and cap space... but it is possible that the opportunities that arise are not for the player we want.. I think we all know Howsen will make the right move.. personally I am not quite sure if we will be able to move some of our extra wingers, we desperately need to and with the cap space shortage we might not be able to...
In Howsen we trust..
I think San Jose is going to be in some deep trouble. Let's hope budget teams like the Jackets get some good players! Maybe the Chimera for Erhoff won't be so bad after all
Unfortunately it appears that Ehrhoff is a key part of the Heatley deal... so chances are we aren't going to be able to acquire him.
The San Jose players who have been mentioned a lot in the Heatley deal and the rumor mill are: Cheechoo, Ehrhoff and Clowe...
