That's a bit surprising. I would have expected him to be paired with Carle. Seems like a natural fit.

Though (and this is pure speculation here) if the Flyers don't think they'll be able to retain both Carle and Grossman, it makes sense to see a potential pair for next year, and evaluate how that'll work, rather than sticking him with someone he won't be working with next year. After all, both sides need to see whether it makes sense for Grossman to come back, and it wouldn't be an accurate picture otherwise.

I think there's plenty of time for that kind of thing. Right now the priority has to be to tighten up the defense and win games with the playoffs not to far down the road.

Grossman to be paired with Mezsaros tomorrow

that means

Timo Coburn

Grossman Mezsaros

Carle Bourdon /Lilja

1st off, like the signing and no roster impact (no one traded away) is huge for the mental make up of this team. Pairing Grossman with Mez ...is this to give Mez a little more freedom to pursue the offensive side of his game? I don't know that I like the Carle/Bourdon/Lilja pairing...Bourdon is not defensively responsible enough to cover for Carle's aggressive play and Lilja is just too slow. That will be a painful pairing to watch I think....I hope I am wrong about that...
