More on Primeau

Be sure to stop by sass-a-thon for Meredith's take on Keith Primeau's career in Philadelphia. She links to a post she previously wrote about what instantly became her favorite Primeau moment. Somehow, I had forgotten all about it. Shame on me and kudos to Meredith for remembering. Jared over at Bullies Blog notes that with Primeau's retirement and the trade of Michal Handzus to the Blackhawks the Flyers will be short on defensive centers. Primeau’s leadership will undoubtedly be missed, but the Flyers will also miss his strong defensive play down the middle. Without Primeau, and after trading Michal Handzus, the Flyers have suddenly cut a significant amount of their depth and defensive prowess from the center position. This is a point well taken that I will also be mentioning in my season preview post due out shortly.
