Daniel Vladar has contract rumors swirling that would keep him in Philly for the next half decade.
The initial update came from ESPN’s Kevin Weekes, suggesting it could be five years at $5 million per year:

The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun then added on to that report with news about why it might take a while to seem like anything becomes official here:
Vladar is a 28-year old goalie who just played his first season with Phialdelphia after previously suiting up for the Boston Bruins and Calgary Flames.
He went 29-14-7 in 2025-26 with a 90.6 save percentage and 2.42 goals against average.

Vladar improved almost all his numbers this past season, which points to a player the Flyers may want to secure. He isn’t a guaranteed star in goal, but he can bring some consistency to that position for Philadelphia.
News about a deal in the works right now certainly seems to suggest that there’s a good chance of a contract getting done.
