Christian Dvorak gets $25.75 million extension
The The Philadelphia Flyers signed Christian Dvorak to a one-year contract in NHL Free Agency last summer. They needed depth in the middle and hoped he could become an important part of the team. They really seemed to like what Dvorak brought to the table. On Monday, they signed the veteran pivot to a contract extension.
The Flyers announced a new five-year contract with Dvorak on Monday night. This new deal begins on July 1 when the 2026-27 league year begins. He has a total worth of $25.75 Million and an average annual value of $5.15 Million.
“We are very happy that Christian will be a part of the Philadelphia Flyers for the foreseeable future,” said Flyers General Manager Daniel Briere in a statement to the team’s official website. “He has played a key role in our team’s success this season and has proven to be a reliable, two-way center who can be trusted in all situations. More importantly, he plays a big role in our locker room and has fit seamlessly into our group and what we are building.”
Dvorak has contributed quite well to Philadelphia this year. He is tied for third among skaters, scoring 25 points in 39 games. He is on track to surpass the career-high 38 points he scored during the 2019-20 season with the now-defunct Arizona Coyotes.
The Flyers are certainly grateful to him for his efforts. Philadelphia currently holds the top Wild Card seed in the Eastern Conference on a tiebreaker. They are two points ahead of the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion, the Florida Panthers.
Philly has one less thing to worry about this offseason. Now, Dvorak and his teammates can focus on the hockey at hand. They’re back on the ice Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks.
