The Philadelphia Flyers re-signed Tyson Foerster to a two-year deal and we go over why it was smarter to go with a short-term contact compared to commit long term.
The Philadelphia Flyers signed now former restricted free agent Tyson Foerster to a two-year bridge deal that comes in at a $3.75-million AAV. Checking one thing off of general manager Danny Briere’s to-do list this offseason before the Stanley Cup has been handed out is some tidy piece of business.
While some people might have preferred that the Flyers committed more years and more dollars to Foerster — trying to buy low and bet on the eventual improved production — it was genuinely a very smart bet to make to stick it to just a couple years.
