The Philadelphia Flyers announced Thursday that they had come to terms with forward Travis Konecny on an 8 year, $70M contract extension.
The new deal, which will feature an $8.75M AAV, will come into effect beginning with the 2025-26 season.
“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 Flyers GM Daniel Brière in a statement. “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.”
The 27 year old career highs in goals (33) and points (68) for the club in 2023-24, while appearing in 76 contests for Philadelphia. Konecny led all Flyers skaters in points, goals, shorthanded goals (6), and game winning goals (5) last year.
“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!”
The former 1st round pick of the club back in 2015 has also represented Canada at the 2017 Men’s World Championship, the 2016 Under-20 World Junior Championship and the 2014 Under-18 World Junior Championship.
