Flyers sign Travis Konecny to eight-year, $8.75 million AAV contract extension
One of the most talented offensive weapons in the City of Brotherly Love is sticking around for a long time.
On Thursday, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Daniel Briere announced the team has signed forward Travis Konecny to an eight-year contract extension. The deal kicks in during the 2025-26 season, and carries an AAV of $8.75 million through the 2032-33 season.
#Flyers announce a massive, eight-year extension for Travis Konecny: 8 years x $8.75 million = $70 million.
One of the largest deals in Philadelphia franchise history.
“Travis Konecny is an integral part of the fabric of our team,” Briere said in a release. “We are thrilled to have him under contract for the long-term. 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’s teammate, defenseman Travis Sanheim, hilariously broke the news that Konecny was signing an extension on social media.

Konecny is heading into the final year of a five-year contract with a $5.5 million cap hit that he signed when Chuck Fletcher was the GM in Philly in September 2019.
The London, Ontario native has spent the entirety of his career with the Flyers. The team took him in the first round, 24th overall, of the 2015 NHL Draft. Knoecny joined Philadelphia during the 2016-17 season, quickly becoming one of the team’s top offensive weapons. It is a role he has held for his entire career.
Konecny has averaged 50 points a season in his NHL career, but his production has really ramped up over the past couple of years. In 2023-24, the former Ottawa 67 posted career highs in goals (33), assists (35) and points (68). It marked the third time in Konecny’s career that he hit the 60-point mark in a single season.
In 564 career games, Konecny has notched 174 goals and 226 assists for 400 points, with another eight points coming in 22 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
