The Flyers signed defenseman Mark Streit to a 4-year, $21 million contract Thursday, making official what the Daily News reported on June 18.

The Flyers acquired his rights from the Islanders on June 12.

Streit, 35, is a good puck handler and capable power-play quarterback.

Streit, the Islanders captain, had six goals and 21 assists and played in every regular-season game for the third consecutive season.

Kimmo Timonen, 38, will make $6 million this upcoming season and is the only Flyers defenseman earning more than Streit. Timonen and 27-year-old Andrej Meszaros ($4 million) are slated to become unrestricted free agents after the 2013-14 season.
