Lisbon native and former Univ. of Maine forward Greg Moore has signed a one-year, two way contract with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Moore spent last season with Bridgeport and Syracuse of the AHL, scoring 41 points (19g, 22a) in 78 games. He did see four games in the NHL with Columbus, going scoreless.
At 6-1, 225-pounds, Moore will most likely end up with the Adirondack Phantom, the Flyers AHL team, in Glens Falls, NY.
