Flyers Eye Trading Travis Konecny After Winless Start

Team sources say Philadelphia may ask the veteran winger to waive his no-movement clause to open trade possibilities.

Overview

  • Reporting on Tuesday said the Flyers remain winless through their first seven games and that internal frustration has put Travis Konecny on a short list of possible trade candidates.
  • Konecny is on an eight-year, $70 million deal with a no-movement clause, which means the club can request but cannot force him to be traded.
  • Media reports note Konecny missed recent games with an injury and posted limited production early in the season, which has fueled questions about his fit in the current lineup.
  • Speculative trade destinations named by multiple outlets include the Utah Mammoth and the Edmonton Oilers, though any deal would require salary-clearing moves and player consent.
  • If the Flyers pursue a roster shakeup, the likely path is asking players to waive protections rather than firing the coach, and the club would face the practical hurdle that players often decline such waiver requests.
