A free, instant upgrade with a familiar face is there for the taking.
The Hockey News argues that the Philadelphia Flyers should claim defenseman Emil Andrae off waivers from the Columbus Blue Jackets to address defensive struggles. Andrae was previously traded by Philadelphia to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a package for Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit, before later landing with Columbus, where he has recorded two points in five games.
With a 4-9-4 record, Philadelphia holds fourth priority on the NHL waiver wire behind Los Angeles, Chicago, and Vancouver. The article notes that reuniting with Andrae, who scored 13 points in 61 games under Rick Tocchet last season, would provide a cost-effective upgrade to the Flyers' blue line.
