Berard invited to Flyers camp

NHL veteran defenseman brian berard has been invited to the Flyers training camp on a tryout basis.

any thoughts on this? i think we may as well give him a shot.. he is still relatively young (31)
if he does not make it, then cut him loose.
he suffered a serious eye injury a few years back...might be interesting to "see" how he does....

Defense is what we need.. So, why not??

I think this is great, We need the defense cause you never know what Hatcher will do before the season starts. If we keep Berard it only going to cost the Flyers $725.000 for the year. This is how we found Jim Dowd and he turned out to be a good player for that money. Just need some more players on defense this year.

If I recall correctly, he can only see shadows and very limited depth perception from that eye injury. I thought he looked pretty good last time he was on the ice though
