Pretty nice deal at age 23 for a guy who was not drafted.

Agreed. And he should be worth every penny too.

Another nice signing. The Hextall-run Flyers were killing it with late drafted or undrafted defenders.

Wow - I like it.
I was kind of hoping more that PHI would go 7yr x $5m with him...
But...
With this term...
If PHI can't shed the JVR ($7m) and Ghost ($4.5m) contracts... at least they'll clear that $11.5m in 2023 when they need it for Phil long-term.

Love when undrafted guys get their 2nd contract. Can't believe he went undrafted just at his size alone. Flyers scouting team or whoever got him on their radar needed a raise since he'd likely be a 1st round pick the yr after the Flyers signed him.

Yeah... the Flyers owners decided to fire everybody (late 2018) that found all those solid prospects, like Myers - including Chris Pryor.

***Pryor had spent 20 years in the PHI org!!! That speaks to the level of house-clearing that the PHI ownership made Holmgren do (as President) in order to keep his job.***

Article on Pryor, discussing Phil Myers way back in the day.
(Myers did, only put up a few points for R-N... that kept most teams from touching him. He exploded for offense just after PHI inked him from their training camp evals)

Needing a bonus but getting fired seems like a 2016-18 philly thing.

Well, they needed to fire Holmgren, but he's somehow an untouchable lifer. Philly teams do some strange stuff.
