The versatile bottom-six forward gets a contract worth $2.3 million annually.

Getting deals with the remaining RFAs might be a little more challenging for the Flyers president & GM, who seems content with waiting for the market to be set.

It’s a sign that the franchise is embracing the past, not breaking from it.

Holmgren said that it was his idea to make this move.

Laughton, 25, the Flyers’ first-round selection in 2012 (20th overall), was also used on the penalty kill last season. He made $962,500 last year.

While the Flyers made upgrades and should push for a playoff spot, the teams below them in the Metropolitan Division last season did even better. The teams in front of them, however, haven’t had overwhelming offseasons.

The Flyers will have a new-look defense and a handful of changes on their front lines in 2019-20 season. Here’s how the lineup may look.

Samuelsson, the team's director of player development, has four connections to Western Michigan, including two sons on the team.

GM Chuck Fletcher didn't want to blow cap space on unnecessary long-term contracts and risk losing a young player down the road.

Simmonds, who became a fan favorite for his scoring and gritty play during his eight seasons in Philadelphia, signed a one-year, $5 million contract Monday with the Devils.

The Flyers signed three players to beef up the minor-league Phantoms.

His average annual salary-cap hit is steep. The team better hope that he’s worth it.

The NHL’s free-agent period starts Monday at noon. The Flyers will be in the market for a third-line right winger, but may not have enough cap room to get the player they desire.
