Eager
Is this one on a roll or what? Sometimes I wonder the real reason mates are tossed to another team. Dealt him like he was a card in a game huh? Seems he likes getting penalty's. Flyers acquire Vandermeer from Chicago Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Flyers dealt forward Ben Eager to the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday in exchange for defenseman Jim Vandermeer.
