Flyers Re-Sign Jacob Gaucher To One-Year, Two-Way Deal

The move keeps a dependable AHL scorer and defensive depth option in the organization and preserves his chance to compete for a fourth-line center role at training camp.

Overview

  • The Philadelphia Flyers formally re-signed forward Jacob Gaucher on Friday to a one-year, two-way contract, a signing the team confirmed on its official account.
  • PuckPedia reported the deal carries an $850,000 NHL cap hit, a $250,000 AHL salary and roughly $280,000 in guaranteed money, figures later cited by multiple outlets.
  • Gaucher spent most of 2025-26 with the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms where he scored 20 goals and 36 points in 69 games and also appeared in four NHL games with the Flyers this season.
  • The contract reflects Gaucher’s projected role as organizational depth: a dependable, defensively able center who can be called up to fill fourth-line minutes and penalty-kill duties rather than a top-line option.
  • Gaucher’s path from over-age QMJHL captain to ECHL breakout and then AHL regular underpins the signing, and it gives him roster security and a clear chance to push for NHL minutes at next season’s camp.
