York signs 5-year, $25.75 million contract with Flyers


Cam York signed a five-year, $25.75 million contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday. It has an average annual value of $5.15 million.

The 24-year-old restricted free agent defenseman had 17 points (four goals, 13 assists) and averaged 20:47 of ice time in 66 games for the Flyers last season.

York set NHL career highs in goals (10), assists (20) and points (30) in 2023-24, and said in April that he believes he can get back to being more of an offensive presence in 2025-26.

“Offensively, playing more free, making more plays,” he said. “I think I can do a better job of getting pucks through from the blue line. I didn’t feel like laterally I was as good [in 2024-25] in terms of using my space and my legs that I have. I have the ability to do it, [but] I wasn’t doing it. I think there’s a few things offensively I can do that will definitely help that. … I think it’s something I’m going to revisit this summer for sure. Next year, come into the season with a little bit of a different mindset.”

York, selected by the Flyers in the first round (No. 14) of the 2019 NHL Draft, has 77 points (19 goals, 58 assists) in 235 NHL games.
