Goalie Start
Petersen was the first goalie off of the ice at the Kings morning skate.
The Flyers have signed J.R. Avon to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Avon joined the Flyers on an Amateur Try-Out but signed a three-year entry-level contract. The 18-year-old, undrafted free agent scored four goals with seven assists in 56 games with the Peterborough Petes (OHL) in 2019-20.
The Kings have signed Cal Petersen to a three-year contract extension worth $15.0 million ($5.0M AAV).
The Red Wings have re-signed Givani Smith to a two-year contract.
The Canadiens have re-signed Ryan Poehling to a two-year contract.
The Flyers have signed Sean Couturier to an eight-year contract extension worth $62 million.
The Flyers have re-signed Travis Sanheim to a two-year contract.
The Flyers have signed Samu Tuomaala to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Stars have re-signed Benjamin Gleason to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Flyers have signed Nick Seeler to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Predators have re-signed Anthony Richard to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Flyers have signed Nate Thompson to a one-year contract worth $800K.
The Canadiens have signed Louie Belpedio to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Flyers have acquired Rasmus Ristolainen from the Sabres for Robert Hagg, the No.13 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft and a 2023 second-round draft pick.
Ristolainen's game appears to be heading in the wrong direction but the Flyers must not think so. They have given up a considerable amount of assets to have Ristolainen replace Shayne Gostisbehere in 2021-22. After four-straight seasons of 40-plus points from 2016-to-2019, Ristolainen has averaged seven goals and 29 assists (36 points) per 82 games over the last two years. He remains big and tough to play against and will undoubtedly be a part of the Flyers top-4 with either Ivan Provorov or Travis Sanheim.
The Flyers have acquired Ryan Ellis from the Predators for Philippe Myers and Nolan Patrick.
Ellis is heading into the third year of an eight-year contract that pays him $6.25M AAV per season. Ellis was 22nd among defensemen in points with 79 (15G / 64A) in 2019 and 2020 combined but his production fell off a bit in 2021. Still, the 30-year-old is a massive addition to the Flyers blueline and could find himself on the top pair with Ivan Provorov in 2022.
The Maple Leafs have signed Wayne Simmonds to a two-year, $1.8 million contract extension.
The Stars have signed Rhett Gardner to a two-year contract extension.
The Flyers have signed Linus Sandin to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
The Kings have signed Helge Grans to a three-year, entry-level contract.
