Hal Gill's chances of becoming a permanent fixture on the Philadelphia Flyers roster were boosted when it was announced that the 38-year old defenseman would be sticking with the team past a large round of training camp cuts.
Flyers are keeping Hal Gill around a little longer. He will go to Lake Placid

The folks at Broad Street Hockey qualified that news by adding this bit of context.
Paul Holmgren said that the Flyers are only taking 26 or 28 players to Lake Placid. 44 players in camp now. Cuts tomorrow.
