The Philadelphia Flyers have made a decisive move to solidify their roster by re-signing forward Tyson Foerster to a two-year deal valued at $7.5 million.
General Manager Daniel Briere confirmed the contract extension on Thursday, ensuring that Foerster will be on the books with an annual cap hit of $3.75 million for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 NHL seasons.
At just 23, Foerster is coming off a career-defining season. He notched a personal best with 25 goals and complemented these with 18 assists, totaling 43 points over the season. Although he was poised to become a restricted free agent by July 1, the Flyers have secured his services, with the promise of renewed negotiation when this contract concludes.
Foerster, selected 23rd overall as the Flyers' first-round pick in the 2020 draft, has been a steady performer in the league, accumulating 83 points across 166 career games—every one played in the Flyers' uniform.
Beyond the NHL, Foerster has showcased his talent on the international stage too, representing Canada at the world hockey championships this spring, further reinforcing his potential and value to the Flyers' lineup.
