Overview
- The Flyers announced Thursday a three-year entry-level contract for Jack Berglund that starts in 2026–27, with an amateur tryout sending him to the AHL Lehigh Valley Phantoms for the rest of this season.
- The 2024 second-round pick spent 2025–26 with Sweden’s Färjestad, recording 12 points in 40 SHL games and adding three assists in seven playoff games.
- He captained Sweden to World Juniors gold, posting three goals and seven assists in seven games and leading the tournament with a plus-nine rating.
- Because he has a year left on his Färjestad contract, the NHL–Sweden transfer agreement may force a loan back next season if he fails to make the Flyers out of camp unless Färjestad allows an AHL assignment.
- The AHL stint offers a fast adjustment to smaller North American ice and tempo, with Lehigh Valley facing five games to try to close a four-point playoff gap.
