Please, Mr. Guerin, I Beg You…

…do not sign with Philadelphia. Anybody but the Flyers. News broke yesterday of Billy G. skating with the Flyers, possibly in the hopes of gaining a tryout with the Pens’ hated division rival.

Listen, I know the man wants to play this season. But for the love of all that’s holy, can’t he find another team to ply his trade with? Guerin became a fan favorite in the Burgh almost instantly upon his arrival from the Islanders. It would be very interesting to see how he’s treated if he ends up in Philly. Just thinking of #13 wearing black-and-orange makes me ill.

I can’t believe it’s come to this for Guerin. One would’ve thought a rugged veteran that potted 21 goals just last season would have a team by now. Surely someone could use his offensive and/or leadership skills. But thanks to the salary cap, players like Guerin and Owen Nolan are finding it much more difficult to land a job.

Guerin was a great player for the Pens in his short tenure here. He was a vital cog in the machine that won the Stanley Cup. I hope he finds work this season…just not with the friggin’ Flyers.
