Flyers Lock In Rising Defense Star: What’s Next After Shocking NHL Debut?
Helge Grans just inked a fresh two-year deal with the Flyers, a contract worth $1.575 million that reflects the team’s belief in his potential and grit. The structure? It’s a two-way agreement to start, turning into a one-way contract in the second year — a smart move showing Philly’s faith in his upward trajectory. At only 23, this towering defenseman’s journey is just picking up steam. Remember November? That was when Philly’s defense was stretched thin, and Grans got the call-up to make his NHL debut. In six games, he flashed glimpses of promise — recording an assist and battling hard with five blocked shots. Grans describes himself as a two-way defenseman who loves to lock things down defensively but has lately been growing in confidence offensively too. He showed his mettle across 66 regular-season AHL outings with Lehigh Valley, tallying 23 points, and then some in the playoffs, earning respect from coaches who see a quiet, effective presence on the ice. Now, as the Flyers gear up for training camp under new leadership, Grans is ready to make his mark and solidify his spot. Coming over in the Ivan Provorov blockbuster trade last summer, the 2020 second-round pick knows he’s part of a rebuild—one filled with promise and young talent. Exciting times ahead for this young defenseman and the Flyers alike. LEARN MORE
