Two days after Luke Schenn signed with the Arizona Coyotes, Brayden Schenn avoided arbitration with the Philadelphia Flyers and signed a four-year contract with a reported $5.125 million per year.
Brayden Schenn’s scoring and physical play will benefit Flyers going forward
“I was already sitting in the room, just a matter of my agents were talking to [Flyers general manager Ron Hextall] outside,” Schenn said on NHL.com. “It was a matter of if they were coming in the room or I was coming out and a deal was going to be done. Just extremely happy to be signed on for another four years.”
Arbitration had been scheduled for early Monday morning but the Flyers and Schenn’s agents agreed to a deal just ahead of the scheduled meeting.
“We had talked prior on our way in,” Flyers general manager Ron Hextall said on NHL.com. “We got into a pretty good conversation and we ended up settling at 9:45 [a.m.]. Hearing was supposed to start at 9 o’clock. [The arbitrator] was patient with us and allowed us time to get the deal done.”
This past season Schenn collected a career-high 26 goals for Philadelphia and added 33assists.
“I have to be counted on each night and I feel like I’m part of the core group,” Schenn said. “There’s a bunch of us that have been there for a while now, and to be signed on for another four years, it obviously shows their confidence in me as a player. Now it’s for me to me to go out there and continue to prove myself and try to grow my game.”
