Veteran Forward Antoine Roussel Signs PTO with Eastern Conference Team

The Philadelphia Flyers have signed forward Antoine Roussel to a professional tryout:

Roussel, 32, played last season with the Arizona Coyotes, scoring 8 points in 53 games, adding 59 PIMs. The French forward has 607 games of NHL experience under his belt and should fit right into John Tortorella's schemes.

The Flyers have no choice but to improve this season, or GM Chuck Fletcher could be on his way out. Although, that outcome will have more to do with the team's core than Roussel, who is nothing more than a depth player.
