The Philadelphia Flyers agreed to terms with their final outstanding restricted free agent Tuesday, signing Brandon Manning to a two-year contract worth $1.95 million, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.

The defender was scheduled to attend a meeting with a salary arbitrator.

Manning scored a goal and seven points last season, his first exclusively at the NHL level since turning professional in 2011-12.

His signing presents another hurdle for Ivan Provorov, Samuel Morin, and the exciting group of defensive prospects the Flyers have assembled in recent drafts.
