The Philadelphia Flyers have secured forward Noah Cates with a four-year contract extension valued at $16 million, announced by general manager Danny Briere. This deal, which comes after Cates' solid performance last season where he scored 16 goals and amassed 37 points in 78 games, reflects the Flyers' commitment to building a strong roster. With this contract, Cates will contribute $4 million annually against the salary cap. Drafted by the Flyers in 2017, Cates has shown considerable potential, totaling 40 goals and 62 assists across 235 NHL games.
