Overview
- Dvorak’s extension carries a $5.15 million average annual value and runs from 2026–27 through 2030–31, the team announced Monday night.
- The contract includes a full no‑trade clause in Years 1–2 and modified protection in Years 3–4, with no trade protection in the final season, according to multiple reports.
- The 29‑year‑old has 9 goals and 16 assists for 25 points in 39 games, thriving alongside Trevor Zegras and handling top‑six minutes and special‑teams work.
- He signed a one‑year, $5.4 million deal last July and accepted a slight pay cut for multi‑year security, converting a prove‑it season into term.
- The deal removes a top‑six center from the upcoming market and shapes the Flyers’ cap plans as focus turns to pending RFAs such as Zegras and Jamie Drysdale, even as analysts note term‑related aging risk.
