The Philadelphia Flyers didn’t need to extend Christian Dvorak, and certainly not for five years.
The Christian Dvorak Era in Philadelphia is here to stay, for better or — more likely — for worse.
Rumors have been swirling for weeks surrounding Dvorak’s potential next contract with the Flyers, and it never seemed like a great idea to extend the forward. When it started gaining traction as a five-year deal? It got even worse.
And just as quickly as fans could start panicking about the report, the Flyers made it official, signing Dvorak to a five-year extension with a cap hit of $5.
