Flyers Lock Up Foerster & Vladar Long-Term
2 Jul
Summary
- Foerster signs eight-year, $56.8 million deal.
- Vladar gets five-year, $27.5 million contract extension.
- Both extensions begin ahead of the 2027-28 season.
The Philadelphia Flyers announced significant long-term commitments to forward Tyson Foerster and goaltender Dan Vladar. Foerster has agreed to an eight-year contract worth $56.8 million, with an average annual value of $7.1 million. This deal underscores his importance to the team's future offensive contributions and overall foundation, as highlighted by General Manager Daniel Briere.
Vladar's contract extension spans five years and is valued at $27.5 million, carrying an average annual value of $5.5 million. His pivotal role in the Flyers' playoff qualification last season, marked by career-best statistics, earned him this extended deal. Briere praised Vladar's competitive spirit and positive locker room presence.
Both players' new contracts will take effect starting the 2027-28 NHL season. They are currently in the final year of previous two-year agreements signed before the 2025-26 season. Foerster, a first-round draft pick in 2020, has accumulated 100 points in 195 regular-season games. Vladar, a veteran acquired as a free agent, set personal bests in wins, goals-against average, and save percentage during the 2025-26 campaign.
