Recent Contract Extensions (July 30)

Back-to-back days, where the Philadelphia Flyers take a notch out of next Summer's free agent fun, as they re-signed forward Jakub Voracek to a long-term contract extension, which would keep him in the fold for quite a while.

On Thursday evening, the Flyers announced that they signed the 25-year old forward to a new 8-year contract extension, reportedly worth $66 million, a whopping $8.25 million per season.  He will be under contract through the 2024 NHL season.

Last season, Voracek finished with 22 goals and 81 points in all 82 games for the Flyers, finishing 13th overall in pool scoring, 5th among all forwards and he is already projected to be in the same neighbourhood next season.
