Luchanko made the Flyers much sooner than most expected, and while the future for the team might not be here just yet, the 18-year old is being given the chance to prove different.

The deal is worth an annual average value of $8.75 million, rewarding a player who Danny Brière says "truly embodies what it means to be a Flyer."

The Flyers are readying up for Matvei Michkov's imminent arrival, while vets Erik Johnson and Garnet Hathaway hope to keep steering the ship toward the future.

Brink, who turns 23 on Monday, played for the Flyers and Phantoms last season. He showed a more confident approach down the stretch.

Word broke Sunday that the Flyers' top prospect is leaving the KHL for North America, the NHL, and the Philadelphia Flyers.
