The Philadelphia Flyers announced today they have extended forward Travis Konecny to an eight-year contract worth an average annual value (AAV) of $8.75 million beginning with the 2025-26 season, according to General Manager Daniel Bričre.
"Travis Konecny is an integral part of the fabric of our team and we are thrilled to have him under contract for the long-term," said Bričre. "Travis has grown into a significant leader on our team and he truly embodies what it means to be a Flyer. His work-ethic, combined with his tenacity and talent makes him a central figure for what we are building towards, and his determination for our future success speaks volumes about his commitment to our team and city."
“I couldn’t be happier to sign again with the Flyers,” said Konecny. “There’s such a bright and exciting future with this team and I can’t wait to be a part of it for the next nine years and see what we will accomplish. I can’t thank all my teammates and staff members enough because this opportunity wouldn’t be possible without each and every one of them along the way. I can’t wait to get back to Philly in front of the best fans in the world and I look forward to another great season!
Konecny, 27 (3/11/1997), tallied 68 points (33g-35a) in 76 games with the Flyers during the 2023-24 season. He led the team in goals, points, shorthanded goals (6) and game-winning goals (5). He also led the NHL in shorthanded goals and ranked tied for second in shorthanded points (7).
Among his accomplishments this season, Konecny skated in his 500th NHL game on Nov. 2 vs. Los Angeles, tallied his 200th NHL assist on Dec. 15 vs. Detroit and recorded his 400th NHL point on April 13 vs. New Jersey. He represented the Flyers at the 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend, which was his second NHL All-Star appearance (2020). In addition, Konecny was the recipient of the Bobby Clarke Trophy as the team’s Most Valuable Player and won the Toyota Cup, accumulating the most points as “Stars of the Game” at the conclusion of this past season.
