According to multiple reports, the Philadelphia Flyers have made another re-signing, this time giving a blockbuster contract extension to winger Tyson Foerster.

NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reports the Foerster extension will be for eight years, worth approximately $56 million (in the region of $7 million cap hit), with the Flyers locking down another winger they view crucial to the future success of the franchise.

Update: PHLY's Charlie O'Connor reports that it is a $7.1 million cap hit for Foerster, making this an eight-year extension worth a total of $56.8 million.

Foerster, 24, has one year remaining on his current contract at a $3.75 million cap hit.

A 2020 first-round pick, Foerster scored 13 goals, four assists, and 17 points in just 29 regular season games with the Flyers last season, fighting back from what was originally a season-ending injury to get back on the ice to finish the season.

In his NHL career thus far, Foerster has 61 goals in 195 games for the Flyers.
