Flyers Sign Cam York to Five-Year Extension

The Philadelphia Flyers have signed defenseman Cam York to a five-year, $25.75 million contract extension, carrying an annual cap hit of $5.15 million. York, drafted 14th overall in 2019, was the last restricted free agent to sign with the Flyers this offseason. Last season, the 24-year-old averaged nearly 21 minutes of ice time per game and posted 17 points in 66 games, a decline from his previous best due to injury and coaching changes. The deal includes no trade protection and is viewed as a potential bargain as the NHL salary cap increases. The extension comes as the Flyers transition to new head coach Rick Tocchet and focus on building around homegrown talent. Management views York as a possible future leader and is confident in his development as the team aims to move from rebuilding to contending.
