Flyers Sign Tyson Foerster, Helge Grans to Two-Year Extensions

The Philadelphia Flyers have secured two key young players with contract extensions amid a rebuilding phase. Defenseman Helge Grans signed a two-year extension with a cap hit of $787,500, transitioning from a two-way to a one-way contract, after showing steady development in the AHL and making his NHL debut in the 2024-25 season. Meanwhile, forward Tyson Foerster agreed to a two-year deal worth $7.5 million total ($3.75 million AAV), reflecting his emergence as a reliable goal scorer with 25 goals and 43 points in 81 games. Foerster, a first-round pick in 2020, is seen as a foundational piece for the Flyers' future offense alongside other young talents under new coach Rick Tocchet. The Flyers aim to improve their roster with these extensions as they transition from a disappointing 2024-25 season that ended with last place in their division. Both players' performances and potential make them integral parts of Philadelphia's plans moving forward.
