Confirmed Signing with Link: [PHI] Travis Konecny re-signs with Flyers (6 years, $5.5M AAV)

[mja]

I don't know what his play driving stats look like but he's got 10 points in 7 games so far this season and has been the Flyers most dangerous player. Still a 2nd / 3rd line tweener?

He played the 7th most minutes at ES last night among forwards so yes, 2nd/3rd line tweener confirmed. Points, metrics, eye test be damned.

I couldn’t possibly give less of a f*** if anyone bumps the Kevin Hayes thread.

It's just obnoxious behavior. It's 7 games in, for better or worse.

Certainly not a time to evaluate a contract.

TK now with 11 points playing in the 1st in his 8th game. Not bad for a player who's ceiling is 50 pts.

Best 3rd liner in the NHL?

At this point Stewart should be getting more ice time then TK......

 

[FlyguyOX]

Clearly not a first line player.

 

[PensandCaps]

oh man lots of people looking foolish

(mostly fans of the blue/white leaf)

24 points in 25 games so far, can't believe people were actually wondering if this was a steal or not. it quite clearly was a steal of a contract.

It was pretty clear for anyone that has followed TK’s career that this would have turned out to be a very good team friendly signing. I still get a chuckle that he was referred to as a 50 pt player earlier in the thread.

Under just the new coach, he also played fewer 5-on-5 minutes than Laughton.

Konecny - 14:24 ES TOI/GP, 28 GP, 18 ESP, 9 PPP

Laughton - 12:54 ES TOI/GP, 15 GP, 7 ESP, 0 PPP

Now what if I told you there was a Flyers fan on our main boards that writes long ass novels for his posts, and claims that Konecny "played at a 4th line level" until this year?

And it's not old info....he posted this yesterday.

Oh...one more thing....Voracek gave that same poster the middle finger on Twitter!!!

ironically, the biggest detractor of the signing/player is the same person who made that foolish John Carlson isn't in the upper-echelon of defensemen thread

Where did I detract the player or signing? He’s a fine player and it was a fine signing. All I ever did was respond to people making outlandish claims that he was already a first liner at the time of the signing.

The JTR starting lineup of overrated players who do not belong in the company of elite forwards/defensemen:

Drasaitl-Eichel-Konecny

Move over Dubas and Chayka lol

He's still not a 1st liner tho

 

[StoneHands]

27 point in 29 games with an unreal 60.1% Corsi and 11.2% Corsi Rel but he's not in the top 3 of TOI so unfortunately he's still not a 1st liner. It's almost like Flyers fan who watch him play could predict that a 21 year old might improve with more experience and ice time.

Where's Rooster with his fancy charts to show everyone how terrible TK is?
