The Philadelphia Flyers aren't opposed to moving Travis Konecny
Reports from NHL insider Charlie O'Connor suggest that the Philadelphia Flyers are still considering the possibility of trading Travis Konecny.
However, it would take a substantial offer for the team to part ways with Konecny, who is a valuable 1st or 2nd line winger for the club.
There were rumors linking Konecny to the Edmonton Oilers earlier in the off-season, but these rumors turned out to be false.
In the long run, it may be in the team's best interest to keep Konecny, as he has proven to be adaptable to new offensive and defensive systems, as seen under John Tortorella's system.

As a young player, Konecny fits into the team's current timeline as both a mentor and goal-scorer.
His play on the ice has been highly praised by Danny Briere and the rest of the team, and he is fully committed to the Flyers' rebuild.
At this time, Konecny aligns with the team's culture and is unlikely to be traded unless the right offer comes along. With the salary cap set to rise soon, signing the young winger should not be a problem. However, if the worst-case scenario were to occur, the team could potentially receive a good asset or prospect in exchange for the fiery winger.
