Recent Contract Extensions (July 29)

The Philadelphia Flyers avoided some contract negotiations for next Summer, signing centre Sean Couturier to a new 6-year extension, which carries a value of $22.25 million for the duration of the deal and breaks down into a $4.45 million cap hit per season.

The 22-year old was heading towards restricted free agency and his new deal will now take him through the two years of eligibility for unrestricted free agency, making it a pretty solid deal for the both the club and player.

Last season, Couturier finished with 15 goals and 37 points in all 82 games for the Flyers, not quite matching his career-best numbers the year before (39 points).
