Report: Flyers, Schenn 1-year, $1.25M apart ahead of contract arbitration

The Philadelphia Flyers and Brayden Schenn don't appear to be seeing eye to eye.

Just two days before a scheduled arbitration hearing, the parties are roughly 1-year and $1.25 million apart in negotiations.

The Flyers are offering a two-year contract worth $4.25 million in Year 1 and just under $4.37 million in Year 2, while Schenn is asking for a one-year, $5.5-million deal, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Schenn is coming off a career year that saw him hit 26 goals and 59 points in 80 games, good enough for third in team scoring. The 24-year-old just completed a two-year contract that paid him an annual average of $2.5 million.
