Paul Holmgren on Tuesday: [Philly Burbs]

While the first preseason game in Toronto is just a week ago, Holmgren said there’s no rush to replace the traded Mike Richards.

While Chris Pronger, recovering from back surgery, is thought to be the frontrunner, Daniel Briere and Kimmo Timonen are also worthy candidates.

 

Today, the Flyers named Chris Pronger the captain. Briere and Timonen will be the alternates…

No surprise there.
