The first of the Philadelphia Flyers’ RFA dominoes has fallen. The team has agreed on a two-year bridge extension with 23-year-old forward Tyson Foerster.

Foerster and the Flyers agreed on a short-term contract for $3.75 million AAV. Anthony Di Marco of the Daily Faceoff had it first. Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports that the contract is worth $3.5 million this coming season, and $4 million the following.

The Flyers young winger had a breakout toward the end of last season, pushing him to his first 25-goal season of his NHL career.

In 81 games in 2024/25, Foerster had 25 goals and 18 assists for 43 total points. He was second on the team in goals scored, one behind Matvei Michkov.

The two year-bridge deal will allow the Flyers to give Foerster one more contract as an RFA. This is clearly a move to keep the cap low, and give Foerster the chance to earn a bigger payday down the road.

Foerster’s 43 point season followed his 33 point rookie campaign where he tallied 20 goals and 13 assists in 77 games.

With Foerster now under contract, the Flyers have three remaining RFAs: Cam York, Noah Cates, and Jakob Pelletier.
