Flyers' Nick Cousins: Signs qualifying offer

Cousins accepted his $937,125 qualifying offer from Philadelphia on Thursday, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

It seems the Flyers are uncertain about Cousins as they were unwilling to offer the restricted free agent a long-term deal, but did not want to lose him outright. With his contract in hand, the 22-year-old will look to improve upon the 10-point season he had in 2015-16. Fantasy owners likely won't jump on the center, but he may be worth keep an eye on in deeper leagues.
