Flyers Buy Out Cam Atkinson's Contract

News summary

The Philadelphia Flyers have decided to buy out the final year of Cam Atkinson's contract, making the 35-year-old forward an unrestricted free agent. Atkinson, acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2021, struggled with injuries and performance issues, tallying just 28 points in 70 games last season after missing the entire 2022-23 season due to a herniated disk. The buyout will result in the Flyers carrying dead cap space of $2.36 million in 2024-25 and $1.76 million in 2025-26. General Manager Daniel Brière praised Atkinson's work ethic and professionalism, acknowledging the difficulty of the decision but emphasizing the need to move forward. Atkinson leaves the Flyers with 78 points in 143 games and significant contributions in his first season, including winning the Bobby Clarke Trophy and the Yanick Dupre Memorial Award.
