Overview
- The Flyers signed Nikita Grebenkin to a two‑year contract worth $2.2 million, a move the team announced Thursday to keep the 23‑year‑old under club control.
- Grebenkin produced four goals and 10 assists in 55 games after arriving in the 2025 trade with Toronto and spent time in the AHL before becoming an NHL regular.
- His 2025–26 season ended in late March when an upper‑body injury sidelined him for the final 13 games and the playoffs, and the club has since reported steady progress in his recovery.
- Coaches and teammates describe Grebenkin as a feisty, physical identity player who brings energy and penalties that can change momentum, and he is expected to compete for a bottom‑to‑middle‑six winger spot at camp.
- The modest AAV preserves Philadelphia’s cap flexibility as the team balances remaining RFA decisions, including defenseman Hunter McDonald, and prepares for training camp beginning in mid‑September.
