The Philadelphia Flyers re-signed Trevor Zegras to a four-year contract with an average annual value of $9.125 million, the team announced Wednesday.
The deal makes Zegras, the No. 9 pick in the 2019 NHL draft, the Flyers' highest-paid player.
"We're thrilled to have Trevor committed to our organization for the next four years," general manager Danny Briere said in a statement. "The growth he showed this past season, proving that he is the skilled player he entered the league as, reinforced our belief that he will be an impact player for the Flyers for the years to come. He's the type of player who can help take our team to the next level, and we're excited to continue building alongside him."
Zegras, 25, was a restricted free agent who had filed for arbitration, which now can be avoided. The center arrived in Philadelphia via a trade from the Anaheim Ducks in June 2025 and posted a career year with the Flyers: 26 goals and 67 points in 81 games. Philadelphia arrived ahead of schedule with a playoff berth and first-round win against the rival Pittsburgh Penguins before falling to the eventual champion Carolina Hurricanes in the second round.
The Flyers have been working on securing their young core, also agreeing to extensions with goalie Dan Vladar and right wing Tyson Foerster. Up next on Briere's to-do list is an extension for defenseman Jamie Drysdale, who was acquired alongside Zegras from Anaheim.
Philadelphia has plenty of cap space to work with this summer, and Briere has been aggressive, trying to lure Anaheim's Leo Carlsson away with a record-setting offer sheet. The Ducks ended up matching it to make Carlsson the league's highest-paid center at $18 million AAV.
Zegras received a raise from his previous contract of three years, $5.75 million AAV. The Flyers' previous highest-paid player was right wing Travis Konecny at $8.75 million AAV.
