The Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> are re-signing Trevor Zegras<\/a> to a four-year contract with an annual average value of $9.125 million, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Zegras, 25, was a restricted free agent who had filed for arbitration — which now can be avoided. The American-born center arrived in Philadelphia via a trade from theAnaheim Ducks<\/a>in June 2025 and posted a career year with the Flyers: 26 goals and 67 points in 81 games. Philadelphia arrived ahead of schedule with a playoff berth and first-round win against the rivalPittsburgh Penguins<\/a>, before falling to the eventual champion Carolina Hurricanes<\/a>in the second round.<\/p>\n

The Flyers have been working on locking in their young core, also agreeing to extensions with goalie Dan Vladar<\/a> and right wingTyson Foerster<\/a>. Up next on general manager Danny Briere’s to-do list is an extension for defenseman Jamie Drysdale<\/a>, who was acquired alongside Zegras from Anaheim.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia has plenty of cap space to work with this summer, and Briere has been aggressive, trying to lure Anaheim’s Leo Carlsson<\/a> away with a record-setting offer sheet. The Ducks ending up matching it, to make Carlsson the league’s highest-paid center at $18 million AAV.<\/p>\n
