Often included in , Nick Schultz is staying put in Philadelphia. The Flyers on Wednesday announced they have signed the veteran defenseman to a two-year contract extension worth $4.5 Alexander Steen Jersey million. MORE: | Schultz, 32, hasplayed in55 games after signing a one-year deal with the Flyersin the offseason. Hehas 11 a sists and 13 points and is a plus-6 while averaging 19:35 per game, playing primarily alongside Braydon Coburn. Schultz gets a $1 million raise, with anannual cap hit of $2.25 million on his new deal. It was that Philadelphia hoped to extend Schultz despite the fact that the team has largely struggled defensively this season. But with the Flyers six points out of a playoff spot, Schultz like everyone else with an expiring contract this time of year was connected to no shortage of trade rumors in advance of next month's trade deadline. With Schultz's extension, the rumors will shift to otherFlyers defensemen like Coburn, who was benched Sunday. Coburn still has one year remaining on his contract, but he'sbeen in coach Craig Berube's doghouse for much of the season. The Flyers also have not yet discu sed an extension with pending restricted free agent Michael Del Zotto. Jordan Kyrou Jersey |
