Danila Klimovich Lands With the Flyers on a One-Year Two-Way Deal

Philadelphia has reached an agreement with forward Danila Klimovich, bringing the former Vancouver Canucks winger to the Flyers on a one-year contract. According to Yahoo Sports, the deal is two-way and carries an average annual value of $850,000, giving the organization flexibility on where Klimovich plays within its professional depth structure.

The transaction matters for Philadelphia’s roster planning because a two-way arrangement affects how a team can balance NHL responsibilities with development and call-up options. For Klimovich, it provides a clear path back into the NHL lineup while also acknowledging that he may spend time depending on how the Flyers manage their playing-time needs throughout the season.

Klimovich is 23, and the reported terms also set the stage for his next contractual chapter. Yahoo Sports reported that the agreement makes him a restricted free agent at the conclusion of the season, meaning Philadelphia’s decision-making at year’s end will be influenced by how he fits with the team and what other options his status may open.

For Vancouver, the move represents the end of a second NHL chapter. Klimovich began his NHL tenure with the Canucks and is now turning the page to a new organization in Philadelphia. The shift also underscores the way teams use one-year, two-way deals in the offseason, particularly when they are trying to find the right match of pace, role, and development within their forward group.

From the Flyers’ perspective, the reported AAV and term suggest a low-to-moderate financial commitment relative to longer deals, while still giving them the option to evaluate Klimovich in game situations. If he earns more stable minutes, Philadelphia could consider how his restricted free-agent status affects its offseason plans. If not, the two-way framework provides an alternative route to keep him in their system without locking into a long-term commitment.

What to watch next is how quickly Klimovich establishes a role. Whether he begins the season as an internal depth option or pushes into a more regular lineup position will likely determine how important his restricted free-agent status becomes for the Flyers’ long-term forward planning.
