Overview

  • York’s new deal carries a $5.15 million average cap hit over five years and includes two unrestricted free agent seasons before 2030.
  • The contract resolves York’s arbitration filing after he received qualifying offers as a restricted free agent.
  • General manager Daniel Brière plans to place Ryan Ellis and Tyson Foerster on long-term injured reserve to absorb a $580,000 salary-cap overage.
  • Under coach Rick Tocchet, York is set to anchor Philadelphia’s top defensive pairing and regain a prominent role on the power play.
  • After posting career highs of 10 goals and 30 points in 2023–24, York struggled to four goals and 17 points in 2024–25 amid a public clash with former coach John Tortorella.
