Flyers Sign Jeff Carter to 11-Year Extension

The Philadelphia Flyers locked up an important piece of their future on Saturday by signing center Jeff Carter to an 11-year contract worth $58 million. The deal will average out to $5.27 million per season. In 16 games so far this season, Carter has eight goals and six assists for 14 points. In 397 career NHL games, all with Philadelphia, he has 153 goals and 138 assists for 291 points. This is a good signing for the Flyers, as Carter has become one of the team's top forwards over the past few seasons. He brings lots of offensive skill to the forward lines, as well as decent size, a good shot, and is a good skater. Look for Carter to continue to be one of the team's top forwards throughout the duration of the contract.
