It's a life-changing, $10.8 million contract extension for 30-year-old #Flyers defenseman Nick Seeler.

He almost hung up his skates a few years ago. He was playing on a two-way deal that guaranteed him $375,000 this season.
4 yrs x $2.7 mil, with $2.5 mil in signing bonuses.
It's a four-year deal with a $2.7 million AAV to keep the physical D-man in Philly. As insider Frank Seravalli calls it, "a life-changing extension" for a 30-year-old who nearly quite hockey a few years ago.
Seeler, in his 6th NHL season, has set—or is on pace to set—career highs in almost every category across the board, with 17 minutes per night, 184 blocked shots, 112 hits and 12 points in 63 games.
His signing would take one of the most sought-after blueliners in trade talks around the league off the market.
In the meantime, Seeler has also been placed on injured reserve and will miss at least a week after blocking a shot with his left foot in Monday night's game.
Nick Seeler came back for the third period but left late in the third period. Didn’t take a shift after the 9 minute mark.

During the shifts he took in the final frame he wasn’t putting a lot of pressure on his foot, resting it after ever shift on the bench.#LetsGoFlyers pic.twitter.com/AoZvECipn3
The Flyers are reportedly also still trying to get an extension done on their other notable expiring D-man, Sean Walker, but a trade is still a very real possibility.
