In July 2007 the Canadian signed a two-year contract with the Philadelphia Flyers , but here he lost his regular place after only six appearances and from then on played with the Philadelphia Phantoms in the American Hockey League. After an equally unsuccessful involvement with the Dallas Stars of the defenders returned in 2008 again returned to the Canucks, of which he was, however, mostly used by the end of the season 2010/11 in the AHL with the Manitoba Moose.
