Ending months of speculation, as well as recent rumors that he might be moved around draft time, the Philadelphia Flyers locked up young winger Brayden Schenn on Monday night to a contract extension.
A restricted free agent, Schenn will be back thanks to a two-year deal worth $5 million, with an average annual cap hit of $2.5 million per season. In actuality, the pact pays the 22-year-old native of Saskatchewan $2.25M for the upcoming season and $2.75M in the final year -- after which he becomes an RFA once more.
Schenn posted career highs of 20 goals, 21 assists and 41 points while participating in all 82 regular-season games for the Flyers this past campaign. Since breaking into the league with the Kings during the 2009-10 season, he has compiled 40 goals and 47 assists over 192 games, all but nine of those in Philadelphia.
With the signing, the club's lone RFAs are minor-league forwards Tye McGinn and Jason Akeson. Steve Downie, Hal Gill and Adam Hall remain unrestricted free agents.
