With one Philadelphia Flyers defenseman out with an injury, another one is called to make his debut. After defenseman Cam York went down with an upper-body injury and currently day-to-day, Philadelphia called up defenseman Ty Murchison from AHL Lehigh Valley, and he will make his NHL debut tonight against the San Jose Sharks.
The Flyers announced they’ve signed defense prospect Ty Murchison to a two-year, entry-level contract beginning in 2025-26. His contract carries an $860K cap hit with a $775K base salary, an $85K signing bonus, and an $80K minors salary each season, per PuckPedia.
On Wednesday, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Danny Briere announced that the team has signed defenseman Ty Murchison to a two-year, entry-level contract.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
The 2024 NHL Entry Draft saw the Philadelphia Flyers select five forwards and two defensemen during the two-day event from the Sphere in Las Vegas. The players that Philadelphia added to their pool of prospects come from varied levels of playing experience and abilities.
