The Philadelphia Flyers are closing in on a five-year contract extension with goaltender Dan Vladar, according to Pierre LeBrun. The deal is reported to carry an average annual value (AAV) of $5.5 million, totaling $27.5 million over the life of the contract.
Per LeBrun, while the two sides are nearing an agreement, there are still final touches required before the deal is completed. Furthermore, the extension cannot be officially announced by the organization until July 1. This move signals a significant long-term commitment by the Flyers to the 26-year-old netminder, solidifying their rotation in goal for the foreseeable future.
The reported $5.5 million cap hit represents a major investment for Philadelphia as they continue to shape their roster. Vladar has been a focal point of recent roster discussions, and this extension would keep him in a Flyers uniform through the 2028-29 season.
