Flyers Lock Up Christian Dvorak on Five-Year, $25.75 Million Extension

The 29-year-old parlayed a career-best first half into a deal with early no-trade protection.

Overview

  • The contract carries a $5.15 million AAV and begins in 2026–27, running through the 2030–31 season.
  • Reporting indicates a full no-trade clause in years 1–2, a limited clause in years 3–4, and no protection in year 5.
  • Dvorak has nine goals and 25 points in 39 games, earning top-line minutes and special-teams work after signing last summer.
  • Philadelphia converted a one-year, $5.4 million bet into long-term center stability, taking on term and aging risk to support a push toward contention.
  • With Dvorak signed, local coverage notes the club’s attention now turns to RFA Trevor Zegras’ next contract.
