Travis Konecny’s long-term future has officially been decided.
The Philadelphia Flyers have signed Konecny to an eight-year, $70 million contract worth an average annual value (AAV) of $8.75 million beginning with the 2025-26 season, per General Manager Daniel Brière. Konecny’s original contract was set to expire in the summer of 2025.
“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 Brière. “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.”
Konecny, 27, tallied 68 points (33 goals, 35 assists) 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).
Over parts of eight NHL seasons with the Flyers, Konecny has recorded 174 goals and 226 assists for 400 points in 564 regular season games, and has added eight points (one goal, seven assists) in 22 career Stanley Cup Playoff appearances. He surpassed 500 appearances in November 2023 and proceeded to earn his second NHL All-Star Game appearance.
A former first round draft pick by the Flyers in 2015, Konecny has been a great ambassador for the Flyers, both on and off the ice.
“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!”
