There's a buzz on Twitter about the contract and what is means for the Flyers moving into next season, especially it's youth. The supposed "youth movement" in Philadelphia suffered a set back with this signing, especially for a deal that is for 5 years for a 33 -year forward. Lecavalier's contract is a cap hit of $4.5 million for the Flyers and rumors are beginning to form that Coburn could be on the move soon.
