Flyers Sign Prospect Cole Knuble to Two-Year Entry-Level Deal

The 22-year-old center reports to AHL Lehigh Valley now, with his NHL contract starting in 2026–27.

Overview

  • He will join the Lehigh Valley Phantoms for the remainder of the 2025–26 season after Notre Dame’s playoff exit.
  • His entry-level contract runs two years under NHL rules because it begins when he is 22.
  • The 2023 fourth-round pick posted 9 goals and 31 points in 36 games this season at Notre Dame and 90 points across 106 collegiate games.
  • Flyers leadership has highlighted his competitiveness, playmaking and improved skating, labeling him an under-the-radar prospect.
  • Analysts project a potential bottom-line NHL role and a solid AHL contributor, and he is the son of former Flyer Mike Knuble.
