The Philadelphia Flyers have signed All-Star forward Travis Konecny to an eight-year extension worth $70 million. The deal announced Thursday keeps Konecny under contract through the 2032-33 NHL season. The 27-year-old set career highs with 33 goals and 68 points last season. He was set to be an unrestricted free agent next summer and as a result had been the subject of trade buzz in recent months. Instead, the Flyers committed to Konecny being part of their long-term core as they shift from rebuilding mode into contending after the arrival of top prospect Matvei Michkov earlier this week.
The event will start Nov. 12 and runs through a championship game in Las Vegas on Dec. 17.
