PHILADELPHIA The Philadelphia Flyers have bought out the contracts of forwards John LeClair and Tony Amonte. The 36-year-old LeClair spent 10 years with the Flyers, and was a member of the famed "Legion of Doom" line with Eric Lindros and Mikael Renberg in the mid-1990s. LeClair, who entered the lockout due $9 million in the final year of a five-year contract, was to make $6.84 million after the leaguewide 24 percent pay cut. "Obviously I'm disappointed," LeClair said. "But it was something I was prepared for. I knew it was a very realistic possibility for over a year now. My disappointment comes from knowing my years with the Flyers are over." Amonte, who started the lockout at about $5.82 million, was due $4.26 million. In 14 seasons with New York, Chicago, Phoenix and Philadelphia, Amonte tallied 392 goals and 436 assists in the regular season; he had 20 goals and 31 assists in 86 playoff games. | |
