Flyers Target Dan Vladar Extension After Breakout Season

Overview

• Dan Vladar said in his end-of-season media session he wants to sign a long-term deal to stay in Philadelphia.
• Team reporting says the Flyers are open to an extension if the price fits, with a preferred five-year term near $5.75 million annually.
• A shorter three-year contract at a higher yearly salary is an option if Vladar seeks a number closer to $7 million.
• Vladar’s case is buoyed by a .906 save percentage and MVP-level play in the regular season and playoffs.
• Philadelphia is reassessing the backup spot after Samuel Ersson’s .870 save percentage, with Toronto’s Joseph Woll cited as a target on a two-year, $3.66 million cap hit, while recent deals for Filip Gustavsson, Lukas Dostal, Thatcher Demko and Anthony Stolarz frame the market.
