Overview

  • The Flyers signed restricted free agent defenseman Cam York to a five-year, $25.75 million extension carrying a $5.15 million salary cap hit and securing his rights through the 2029-30 season.
  • The deal consumes two of York’s four remaining unrestricted free-agent years, delaying his eligibility for open-market negotiations until 2030.
  • York has scored 16 goals and 51 assists for 67 points across 202 games since 2022-23, cementing his progression from a 2019 first-round pick to a top-pairing blueliner.
  • After a public altercation with former coach John Tortorella and that coach’s exit, York will begin anew under Rick Tocchet with a likely bump in power-play minutes.
  • Philadelphia will place veterans Ryan Ellis and likely Tyson Foerster on long-term injured reserve to absorb York’s cap hit while preserving roster flexibility for its rebuilding core.
