One day after avoiding arbitration with Brayden Schenn, Flyers general manager Ron Hextall dodged another meeting with his final restricted free agent.
The Flyers on Tuesday signed defenseman Brandon Manning to a two-year, $1.95 million contract, a source confirmed to CSNPhilly.com Flyers Insider Tim Panaccio.
Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman first reported the signing.
With Manning's contract, Hextall has now taken care of all of his restricted free agents and successfully avoided arbitration with both Schenn and Manning.
Manning had an arbitration meeting scheduled for Aug. 2. Schenn had his meeting scheduled for Monday, but agreed to a four-year contract at the last minute.
The 26-year-old defenseman scored one goal and seven points in 56 games last season, his first full campaign up with the orange and black.
