Nolan Patrick Re-Signs With Philadelphia Flyers

October 16, 2020 at 3:51 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 9 Comments

Philadelphia Flyers forward Nolan Patrick has accepted his qualifying offer of $874,125 according to PuckPedia, meaning he will sign a one-year contract for the total. Patrick was a restricted free agent without arbitration rights and could not sign an offer sheet, essentially taking any leverage he had away.

That’s not to say Patrick really could have demanded much more, even though he did find some success as a young player. The 22-year-old missed the entire 2019-20 season with a migraine disorder, one that the Flyers supported him throughout. He’s been back skating for months and is hopeful to be ready for the start of the season, but until that actually happens it is impossible to tell how he will respond.

A one-year deal at the reduced salary was the obvious choice for the Flyers, who still don’t exactly know what they have in Patrick. Selected second overall in 2017 behind New Jersey’s Nico Hischier, the big WHL forward scored 13 goals in each of his first two NHL seasons. While that wasn’t an outstanding total for such a highly drafted prospect, it also proved he could handle himself at the NHL level and established himself as a core piece in Philadelphia.

Now, more than a year and a half removed from his last NHL game, Patrick will have to re-establish himself completely and prove he can still be that core piece that the team believed in. He’ll be a restricted free agent again next offseason.

    Smells like a bust, but hopefully not

    Please tell us that the Flyers have given this poor kid a couple of migraine-squashing alternatives for his own sanity!

    Really bad draft. Nico isn’t a world beater either. Miko and Peterson are the class of the draft. Vilardi might end up one of best of the draft and was drafted 11th.

      Philly teams always seem to draft high in bad drafts.

      Devils won the lottery in years the #1 pick was decent but not on another world good. The #5 picks Petterson and Turcotte could very well be better than the guys who went 1 in those drafts.

    Calling the kid a bust is ridiculous. He is 22, had an unfortunate medical situation and missed all of last season. Let’s give him a chance with Vigneault as coach and see how he improves his game. If he can stay healthy, we will be very dominant at the Center position. He also took a very friendly team contract, under 1 million on the cap.
