"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," Flyers general manager Daniel
Briere said. "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, recorded a career-high total in goals (33), points
(68) and short-handed goals (six) in 76 games last season. His
assist total (35) fell two shy of his previous best, set in
2019-20.
"I couldn't be happier to sign again with the Flyers," Konecny
said. "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 has totaled 400 points (174 goals, 226 assists) in 564
career games since being selected by the Flyers with the 24th
overall pick of the 2015 NHL Draft.
