I have no access to the Internet today other than on my phone, but Sportsnet is reporting that the Ducks have signed former Flyers defenseman Dan Syvret. He's a smallish offensive-D, had a good juniors career on the Knights with Corey Perry, but he has yet to earn his stripes in a full NHL season. This is a good pickup for Syracuse, a bad pickup if Syvret is expected to vie for the third pairing a la acquiring a third pairing smallish offensive defenseman from Chicago to play with Niedermayer.
