The new deal keeps Zegras in Philadelphia after he was acquired from the Anaheim Ducks last offseason. Since joining the Flyers, the 25-year-old has become a key part of the team's offense with his playmaking ability, creativity, and highlight-reel goals.

By signing Zegras before he reached free agency, the Flyers make it clear they see him as one of the franchise's building blocks. The extension also gives Philadelphia more stability as the team looks to compete for a playoff spot over the next several seasons.

With Zegras now under contract, the Flyers can continue building around their young core and hope his offensive talent helps lead the team back into Stanley Cup contention.
