The Philadelphia Flyers announced a new multi-year contract extension with forward Michael Raffl on Saturday.
The contract is reportedly three years in length and worth $2.35 million annually, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.
There was some reported interest in Raffl ahead of Monday's trade deadline, as the 27-year-old was due to hit unrestricted free agency on July 1, but his present and future remain in Philadelphia.
Raffl has 38 goals, 29 assists, and a 53.9 CF% in 196 career NHL games. His previous contract was $1.1M annually over two years.

Raffl has eight goals and nine assists in 61 games this season. He averages 14:17 of ice time, and will see a raise from his current $1.2-million salary. Now in his third season, the Austrian went off for 21 goals in 2014-15.
A versatile winger, Raffl has 106 hits on the season, and is an integral member of the Flyers' penalty-killing unit, seeing an average of 2:41 in shorthanded ice time per game.
