The Philadelphia Flyers could soon be pushed to deal a depth defenseman. Egor Zamula<\/a> has fired his previous agent and signed with Dan Milstein of Gold Star Hockey. This move could prelude Zamula mutually terminating his contract with the Flyers and re-signing, for a cheaper price, with another team, per PuckPedia<\/a>. If that does transpire, Philadelphia would be hoping to acquire a forward on an expiring contract in return for cutting Zamula.<\/p>\n

This move would not be unsimilar to the St. Louis Blues\u2019 recent termination of winger Alexandre Texier<\/a>, another Milstein client. News of Texier\u2019s availability spread quickly around the NHL and had teams lining up to sign him as a free agent. He ultimately signed with the Montreal Canadiens<\/a>, who he\u2019s scored six points in 15 games with, though St. Louis did not receive any assets in return for the swap.<\/p>\n

If the Flyers could command much for Zamula is yet to be seen. He has served as a routine healthy scratch for much of the season, but Philadelphia long avoided assigning him to the minor-leagues for longer than a day or two. That changed after rookie Ty Murchison<\/a> made his NHL debut on December 16th. Murchison has stuck with the NHL roster \u2013 and appeared in three games \u2013 since, while Zamula was sent to the AHL for good three days later.<\/p>\n

It appears Zamula has been leapfrogged on the lineup by the younger Murchison. Philadelphia is also carrying longtime depth defender Noah Juulsen<\/a>, who boasts more veteran experience than Zamula could offer. That leaves the 25-year-old Russian as the odd-man-out on the Flyers\u2019 depth chart. Rather than continue on in the AHL, it seems Zamula will prefer to test his chances in another NHL lineup. He\u2019s a 6-foot-3, 200-pound defender who has only scored 41 points in 168 NHL games. That includes one point in 13 games this season.<\/p>\n

Zamula\u2019s best attributes are his long reach and physical upside \u2013 two pieces that many teams need more of at the bottom of their defense. If that\u2019s enough to impress a lacking defense like the Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings, or Edmonton Oilers \u2013 the Flyers could end up with a nice lineup boost in the middle of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Flyers could soon be pushed to deal a depth defenseman.
