The Philadelphia Flyers have re-signed veteran defenseman Erik Johnson to a one-year, $1 million contract. Johnson, who is 13 games away from reaching 1,000 career games, expressed his enthusiasm for staying with the Flyers, calling his time in Philadelphia a highlight of his career. The 36-year-old player, represented by Pat Brisson of CAA Hockey, had the option to test free agency but chose to remain with the Flyers. His presence is seen as beneficial for the team, particularly in motivating younger players. Johnson, praised for his excellent influence in the locker room, is expected to push rookies to make the squad. Head coach John Tortorella (Torts) will also manage his playing time. Johnson's re-signing was first reported by ADiMarco25 and confirmed by the Flyers organization.
