Breaking down the Sean Couturier contract extension

Sean Couturier and the Philadelphia Flyers agree to terms on an 8yr/$7.75mil AAV extension beginning in 2022-2023. Chuck Fletcher does it again!

The deal had to be sealed sooner rather than later.

The extension goes into effect after the 2021-2022 season, which Couturier would have become an unrestricted free agent. His addition to his current contract makes him a Flyer for the rest of this decade. In other words, you’re looking at the next captain in Philadelphia after Claude Giroux decides to call it a career.
