Flyers Not Looking To Move Dvorak, Could Pursue Extension

When the Flyers signed Christian Dvorak to a one-year, $5.4MM contract this summer, the widely held belief was that it was likely that they’d look to flip him at the trade deadline, possibly with salary retention.  However, it doesn’t appear that is the plan at the moment.  Kevin Kurz of The Athletic recently reported (subscription link) that with Philadelphia in the thick of the playoff race and the fact he’s on track for a career year offensively (he has 22 points in 31 games), the team isn’t planning to move him.  Instead, exploring a potential contract extension could be in the cards.  Because Dvorak is on a one-year deal, he’s ineligible to sign a contract until January.
