Flyers bring in Boucher, Laperriere

In a pair of late afternoon moves, the Flyers signed goaltender Brian Boucher and forward Ian Laperriere.

Boucher, a former Flyer backstop from 1999-2002, was inked to a $1.85 million deal over two years. He was the backup goalie in San Jose last season and will likely be Ray Emery's caddy next year.

Laperriere, late of the Colorado Avalanche, got a three-year pact worth $3.5 million.

Laperriere had seven goals, 12 assists and 163 penalty minutes last season the Avalanche, his third with Colorado. He has also played for St. Louis, the New York Rangers and Los Angeles in a 15-season NHL career.
