What will next contracts for Flyers’ Jamie Drysdale, Trevor Zegras look like?

The Philadelphia Flyers are entering another important offseason, but perhaps the most pressing things on Danny Briere’s to-do list are in-house. The Flyers have a pair of key restricted free agents this summer in Jamie Drysdale and Trevor Zegras. Drysdale has become a key cog on the Flyers’ blue line after being acquired in the Cutter Gauthier trade in 2024.
