John Tortorella has just announced another monstrous addition to his team as he tend to solidify his team walls with this monumental deal..
According to General Manager Daniel Briere, the Philadelphia Flyers today announced that they have signed forward Owen Tippett to an eight-year, $49.6 million contract extension ($6.2 million AAV) beginning with the 2024–25 campaign.
In 46 games this season, Tippett, 24, (2/16/99), has 30 points (18-12=30). The 6-foot-1, 210-pound native of Peterborough, Ontario, leads the Flyers in shots on goal (167), even-strength goals (16), and rankings tied for first place in game-winning goals (3), goals (2), and scoring (tied for third). On October 28 against ANA, he skated in his 200th NHL game, and on November 15 against CAR, he recorded his 100th NHL point. The right-shot forward recorded a career-high four-game point streak three times (Oct. 24–30, Nov. 10–18, Dec. 19–28), set a career-high four-game goal streak on Nov. 10–18, and recorded a career-high ten shots on Jan. 15 against STL. In 144 career games as a Flyer, he has 86 points (49-37=86), including 11 power-play goals and eight game-winning goals. In five NHL seasons with Florida and Philadelphia (2017–24), he has 119 career points (63–56=119), including 13 power-play goals and 10 game-winning goals in 238 games.
On March 19, 2022, the Flyers acquired Tippett from the Florida Panthers in exchange for Claude Giroux, Connor Bunnaman, German Rubstov, and a fifth-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. Denver Barkey was selected in the third round of the 2023 NHL Draft, 95th overall, along with a first-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. The Panthers originally selected him in the first round of the 2017 NHL Draft, 10th overall.
