The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have agreed to terms with forward Trevor Zegras on a four-year contract with an average annual value (AAV) of $9.125 million, according to general manager Daniel Briere.
“We are thrilled to have Trevor committed to our organization for the next four years,” said CEO Daniel Brier. “The growth he showed last season, proving to be the experienced player he entered the league as, reinforced our belief that he will be an impact player for the Flyers for years to come. He is the type of player who can help take our team to the next level and we are excited to continue to build with him.”
Zegras, 25 (March 20, 2001), set regular season career highs with 26 goals, 10 power play goals, 67 points and 23 power play points. He finished the season second on the team in scoring and carried that total into the playoffs, leading the Flyers with six points (2g-4a).
Originally selected ninth overall by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, Zegras has played in 349 career NHL games and totaled 93 goals and 160 assists for 253 points. The 6-foot, 185-pound forward has scored 60-plus points in three of his six seasons in the league. In addition, he was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team and was a finalist for the NHL Rookie of the Year (Calder Trophy) for the 2021–22 season.
Before joining the NHL full-time, Zegras spent part of the 2020-21 season with the San Diego Gulls, where he scored 10 goals and 21 points in 17 regular-season games and added three more playoff games and three points (1g-2a). After being drafted, he spent the 2019–20 season at Boston University, where he averaged over a point per game and finished third on his team in points with 36 total points (11g-25a) in 33 games.
The Bedford, New York native has represented the United States five times, most recently at the 2024 World Cup, where he had one goal and one assist in eight games. Notably, Zegras also competed in back-to-back World Junior Championships in 2020 and 2021. In 2021, he helped the United States win gold and was named tournament MVP after scoring the most points in the tournament with seven goals and 18 points in seven games.
