Konecny, 27, recorded a career-high total in goals , points and short-handed goals in 76 games last season. His assist total fell two shy of his previous best, set in 2019-20. "I couldn't be happier to sign again with the Flyers," Konecny said."There's such a bright and exciting future with this team and I can't wait to be a part of it for the next nine years and see what we will accomplish. I can't thank all my teammates and staff members enough because this opportunity wouldn't be possible without each and every one of them along the way.
Konecny has totaled 400 points in 564 career games since being selected by the Flyers with the 24th overall pick of the 2015 NHL Draft.
