Philadelphia Flyers forward Travis Konecny signed an eight-year, $70 million contract extension on Thursday. The new deal, which to begin in 2025-26, will make Konecny the highest-paid player on the Flyers' roster. "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.
