The Philadelphia Flyers have officially lost one of their depth defensemen. 

The Colorado Avalanche have announed that they signed have signed former Flyers defenseman Noah Juulsen to a two-year contract. 

Juulsen spent this past season with the Flyers and was a decent part of their blueline. In 52 games with the Flyers during the 2026-27 campaign, the 6-foot-2 blueliner recorded one goal, 10 points, and 104 hits. This was after he had zero points and 101 hits during the 2024-25 season with the Vancouver Canucks. 

Overall, Juulsen was a decent depth defenseman during his time with the Flyers, but it makes sense that they moved on from him. They have young right-shot defenseman like David Jiricek and Oliver Bonk who should be competing for NHL spots next season. 

Juulsen will likely be a candidate to play bottom-pairing minutes with the Avalanche after signing with the Central Division club. It will be interesting to see how much of an impact he can make after signing with Colorado from here.
