The Flyers will apparently have to restructure the five-year, $9 million contract they gave to free-agent forward Max Talbot on Friday.
According to TSN, the Flyers violated the Collective Bargaining Agreement by reducing Talbot's salary by more than 50 percent between the third and fourth years - from $2.25 million to $1 million.
Barry Hanrahan, the Flyers' assistant general manager, downplayed the matter and said no fine was forthcoming.
"We haven't heard from the league," he said in a text message on Monday. "However, if there is an issue, we will amend the contract and refile. It won't be an issue."
