The Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> made a move on Friday, signing goaltender Aleksei Kolosov<\/a> to a one-year contract extension.<\/p>\n

With the Flyers extending Kolosov, let’s look at two more players who Philadelphia<\/a> must sign to contract extensions next.<\/p>\n

The Flyers bought low on Trevor Zegras when they acquired him from the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> last off-season, and it paid off in a major way. The 25-year-old forward not only bounced back after being traded to Philadelphia but also put together a career year. In 81 games this campaign with the Flyers, the pending restricted free agent set new career highs with 26 goals, 41 assists, and 67 points.<\/p>\n

With how well Zegras fit into the Flyers’ system, he is a player who the Metropolitan Division club should be locking up long term.<\/p>\n

Jamie Drysdale is another pending restricted free agent who the Flyers need to be locking up this summer. The 24-year-old blueliner had a strong year for Philadelphia, posting eight goals, 24 assists, and 32 points.<\/p>\n

Drysdale needed a strong season like this, and he became a key part of the Flyers’ blueline because of it. Due to this, don’t be surprised if they look to sign him to a long-term extension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Flyers made a move on Friday, signing goaltender Aleksei Kolosov to a one-year contract extension.
