Flyers ink Myers to 3-year, $7.65M deal

The Philadelphia Flyers re-signed defenseman Philippe Myers to a three-year deal with an average annual value of $2.55 million, the team announced Tuesday.

The 23-year-old will remain a restricted free agent when the deal expires.

"We're happy to have Phil signed for the next three years," general manager Chuck Fletcher said. "He is a big, mobile, right-shot defenseman who progressed into a top-four role on our blue line last season. We look forward to his continued growth."

Myers tallied four goals and 16 points while logging 17:06 of average ice time over 50 games for the Flyers last season. He added three goals and one assist through 16 playoff contests.

Philadelphia signed the undrafted 6-foot-5 rearguard to an entry-level deal in 2015 after he attended training camp on an amateur tryout.

The Flyers have $2.26 million in projected cap space with no outstanding restricted free agents, according to CapFriendly.
