Travis Konecny isn't having the season he was hoping for. The Flyers tried to deal him during the summer, but it didn't happen. However, the forward is still up there in trade rumours, and apparently, several teams are interested in his services.
The Los Angeles Kings were reportedly linked to the winger, and according to The Fourth Period "Trade Watch List", two Eastern Conference teams could try to acquire him : the Toronto Maple Leafs and the New Jersey Devils.
Konecny is carrying a big contract (5.5M$ average) until 2024-25. It's sure going to be difficult for the Leafs to make space for him. Also, their top-6 isn't a problem so I don't see why they would pay a big price to bring him.
In the case of New Jersey, it's a divisional rival, and it's known that GMs aren't too keen to trade within their division, so I guess that the Devils would have to propose a big return for Fletcher to accept trading with them.
This season, Konecny registered 32 points, including 9 goals, in 52 games.
