Cam York signed a five-year, $25.75 million contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday. It has an average annual value of $5.15 million.
The 24-year-old restricted free agent defenseman had 17 points (four goals, 13 assists) and averaged 20:47 of ice time in 66 games for the Flyers last season.
“I’m extremely happy to call Philly my home and I’m proud to be a Flyer,” York said. “It is a true privilege to wear the Flyers crest and I will give everything I have to my teammates and this city to help us win. I believe in this team and I love the direction we are heading. I couldn’t be more excited to continue this journey and build something special together.”
York set NHL career highs in goals (10), assists (20) and points (30) in 2023-24, and said in April that he believes he can get back to being more of an offensive presence in 2025-26.
“Offensively, playing more free, making more plays,” he said. “I think I can do a better job of getting pucks through from the blue line. I didn’t feel like laterally I was as good [in 2024-25] in terms of using my space and my legs that I have. I have the ability to do it, [but] I wasn’t doing it. I think there’s a few things offensively I can do that will definitely help that. … I think it’s something I’m going to revisit this summer for sure. Next year, come into the season with a little bit of a different mindset.”
York, selected by the Flyers in the first round (No. 14) of the 2019 NHL Draft, has 77 points (19 goals, 58 assists) in 235 NHL games.
“We are very happy to have Cam under contract for the next five years and be a main piece on our blue line,” Flyers general manager Daniel Briere said. “Cam has been a workhorse for our team over the last few seasons. We’re excited by his development and look forward to his continued growth and emergence as a young leader within our group.”
