Flyers Sign Helge Grans To Two-Year Extension

May 30, 2025 at 1:03 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

The Flyers announced they’ve re-signed defenseman Helge Grans to a two-year extension. The deal carries a cap hit of $787,500 and is a two-way contract in 2025-26 before becoming a one-way deal in 2026-27, the team said. Grans was a pending restricted free agent after completing his entry-level contract.

Philadelphia acquired Grans, 23, from the Kings in 2023’s three-team deal that sent Ivan Provorov to the Blue Jackets. Los Angeles had selected him early in the second round of the 2020 draft, 35th overall, due to what they thought was a projectable skillset as a fringe top-four piece with a well-rounded game.

It didn’t quite work out that way. Grans had a good first impression in North America in his first AHL season in 2021-22, posting 24 points and a plus-seven rating in 56 games with the Ontario Reign. Grans had just nine points in 59 games the following year, though, and then scored eight in 56 games in 2023-24 after moving to the Flyers’ affiliate in Lehigh Valley.

The 6’3″, 205-lb righty got off to a much better start in 2024-25. He finished the year with 23 points and a minus-two rating in 66 AHL games and climbed up the Philadelphia depth chart, earning his first NHL recall in November. It was the only one he got all year long, but he recorded an assist, five blocks, and four hits in six appearances while averaging 14:28 per game. His possession results weren’t particularly promising, though. He only controlled 44.4% of shot attempts at 5-on-5 despite starting over 60% of his shifts in the offensive zone.

Nonetheless, doling out a one-way structure in the second year of his extension indicates the Flyers anticipate Grans being more of an everyday NHL contributor in the near future. The righty could make the opening night roster next fall in lieu of Rasmus Ristolainen, who’ll likely miss the first few weeks of the campaign while recovering from triceps surgery. Philadelphia is light on other righties in their system outside of Jamie Drysdale and 2023 first-rounder Oliver Bonk, who could also get a look out of the gate with Ristolainen sidelined.

Grans will be a restricted free agent upon expiry. Unlike this summer if he remained unsigned, he’ll have arbitration rights in 2027.
