The Philadelphia Flyers have held on to a center capable of playing second-line hockey. According to NBC ProHockey Talk, Philadelphia re-signed Sean Couturier to a six-year, $26 million deal on Tuesday evening.
Couturier has put up consistent numbers his past two seasons, though they are not capable of lighting up any scoresheet. Last year, he recorded 15 goals and 22 assists for 37 points, sixth-best on the team and two off of his career-best 39 he had in 2013-14.
The 22-year-old is entering his fifth season in the NHL as he still has the opportunity to further develop his game within a Flyers side that is rebuilding its way to contention in the Eastern Conference.
