The Flyers appear close to signing Maxim Lamarche, a 20-year-old defenseman from the QMJHL.

Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren, in a text message Thursday night, said the club was interested in Lamarche but had not yet signed him.

TVA Sports in Montreal had reported Lamarche had signed with the Flyers.

Lamarche had nine goals and 34 assists last season with Baie-Comeau Drakkar, and he is expected to play for AHL Adirondack if he signs with the Flyers. He is listed at 6-foot-3, 218 pounds and is a righthanded shooter.

The defenseman was plus-31 last season, two years after a minus-40 campaign

I don't know a thing about him, but he's a RH D & has size.

Who's got more heart than you? NO ONE!

Signed both Lamarche and Michael Raffl

Maxim Lamarche, who turns 21 in July, and 24-year-old Austrian right wing, Michael Raffl.

Lamarche played the last four years in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for Baie-Commeau Drakkar.

He’s 6-foot-3, 218 pounds with a right-handed shot. Lamarche scored nine goals with 43 points in 55 games last season in the QMJHL, an improvement over his 25 points the season before.

Raffl played the past two seasons for Leksands IF, which is Swedish Division One - a notch below the Swedish Elite League.

He scored 24 goals with 46 points in 49 games this season in Sweden, is 6-feet and 192 pounds.

The last Austrian the Flyers had on their roster was Andreas Nodl. He was the organization’s only Austrian-born player ever drafted by the club (2006).

Lamarche and Raffl are both expected to play with the Phantoms this coming fall.

You set em up, we'll knock em down!

I'm excited about Alt as well
