Roster shaping continues for Flyers

On Monday morning, the Philadelphia Flyers signed restricted free agent forwards Andreas Nodl and Tom Sestito to contracts.

While terms of both were not disclosed by the club, multiple sources quote Nodl's deal as being two years and worth $845,000 per year.

Nodl, the 24-year-old Austrian, notched 11 goals and 22 points over 67 games last season, his first true full NHL campaign. A hand injury sustained early in the first round prevented him from playing in all but two playoff contests.

He made $850,000 in the final season of his first professional contract in 2010-11.

Since breaking in with Philly back in 2008, the former second-round pick in the 2006 draft has posted 12 goals and 27 points in 115 NHL games.

Sestito, a 23-year-old native of upstate New York, has only logged 13 games of NHL experience, all with Columbus, before his acquisition on February 28 from the Blue Jackets. He played in 11 games with the AHL's Adirondack Phantoms before the end of the regular season.

On a two-way contract, he was making $585,000 at the NHL level and $62,500 in the minors.

Then, on Monday afternoon, the club dealt fourth-line forward and Princeton product Darroll Powe to the Minnesota Wild for Minny's third-round choice in the 2013 draft. The 26-year-old Saskatchewan native played here for three years, contributing 22 goals and 43 points over 204 games.
