The Philadelphia Flyers have signed forward Jordan Weal to a two-year contract extension, the team announced Thursday.
The deal carries a cap hit of $1.75 million, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
Weal drew significant interest in the lead-up to free agency, as the 25-year-old reportedly met with the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Vancouver Canucks, among other potential suitors.
The Los Angeles Kings drafted Weal in the third round in 2010. He was dealt to the Flyers in 2016 as part of the trade that sent Vincent Lecavalier to Los Angeles.
Weal split last season between the Flyers and the AHL's Lehigh Valley Phantoms. He netted 12 points in 23 games with the Flyers after scoring 47 points in 43 contests with the Phantoms.
Weal led the Flyers in a host of key categories last season, including a team-best 2.19 points per 60 minutes, 1.46 goals per 60, shooting percentage (18.42 percent), and a 55.96 Corsi For rating.
