Flyers Sign Betts to Two-Year Contract Extension

The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have signed center Blair Betts to a two-year contract extension worth $1.4 million. The deal averages out to $700,000 per season. In 39 games so far this season with the Flyers, Betts has six goals and four assists for 10 points and signed as a free agent with the team on October 1. He missed 19 games earlier in the season with a right shoulder injury. He would have been an unrestricted free agent this summer. This is a decent signing for the Flyers, as Betts has provided plenty of steady offensive, two-way depth for the team. Look for him to continue to bring the same level of play to the Flyers over the next two years, and at $700,000 per season, is a very affordable signing.
