Flyers Travis Konecny's Cousin is an NHL Superstar!?
Philadelphia Flyers forward Travis Konecny quickly developed a type of loving fan base from the Flyers organization after he blossomed in the year of 2017, where he tallied up 47 points. Konecny was the Flyers' 24th overall selection in the 2015 NHL draft.
Looking back on that draft, the Flyers management surprisingly did a very good job at shaping the future with drafting defensemen Ivan Provorov at #7, and Travis Konecny at #24. But what if we brought up another draft from the Flyers that still haunts us to this day?
