The Flyers have barely started rebuilding - the 2022 draft was their first top-10 pick in years. They’re seeing a bump because they have their top two forwards (age 30 and 34) back after missing all of last season. But they seem committed to the rebuild. No need to short-cut it already.
Hanifin and Konecny are the same age. If the Flyers feel Hanifin is young enough to be part of the solution long-term, then so is Konecny.
