After a breakout 2025-26 campaign, Trevor Zegras is staying put in Philadelphia.
The RFA centre and the Flyers agreed to a four-year deal on Wednesday, holding an average annual value of $9.125 million, the team announced.
“We’re thrilled to have Trevor committed to our organization for the next four years,” said general manager Daniel Briere in a statement. “The growth he showed this past season, proving that he is the skilled player he entered the league as, reinforced our belief that he will be an impact player for the Flyers for the years to come. He’s the type of player who can help take our team to the next level, and we’re excited to continue building alongside him.”
The new deal comes after Zegras potted career highs in goals (26) and points (67) in 81 games with the Flyers.
The 25-year-old spent the previous five seasons with the Anaheim Ducks, but injuries limited Zegras in his final two seasons in Southern California, playing just 86 games over that time and falling down the pecking order on a Ducks team looking to take the next step.
That led to his trade to Philadelphia in the 2025 off-season as the Flyers sent Ryan Poehling and two picks to Anaheim in exchange.
Selected ninth overall by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2019 NHL draft, the six-foot, 185-pound Boston University product has played in 349 career NHL games, and has 93 goals and 160 assists for 253 points. He has 60-plus point seasons in three of his six seasons in the league.
Zegras has also represented the United States on five occasions, most recently at the 2024 World Championships where he had a goal and an assist in eight games. He also played in back-to-back World Junior Championships in 2020 and 2021. In 2021, he helped the U.S. win gold and was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player with seven goals and 18 points in seven games.
