What happened: The Philadelphia Flyers agreed to terms with defenseman Hunter Mcdonald on a two-year contract. The new deal is structured as a two-way/one-way agreement.

Why it matters: The transaction secures organizational depth on the blue line as Philadelphia prepares for the 2026-27 season. The manageable cap hit preserves financial flexibility for the front office.

What to watch: Mcdonald will report to training camp in the fall to compete for a roster spot.
