Philadelphia Flyers forward Travis Konecny has been a menace to opposing team and players since he has joined the league in 2016. Getting under the skin of players and putting the puck in the net has been quite easy for "TK" early on. Producing nothing but great numbers since he entered the Flyers organization and leaving fans in a frenzy of hope, relief, and some laughter. Remembrance of him making funny faces back at player, mocking them. Fans believe they may have found the difference maker in the lineup- They Love(ed) Travis Konecny.
Since coming on the scene, Konecny has had some strong offensive success scoring 20+ goals from 2018-2020 (3 seasons). in 2019, he had his best season with 61 points in 66 games- then they playoffs hit.
It was already a crazy season as COVID was in full effect and the Flyers were going into the playoffs as the #1 seed thanks to the round robin effect. Not any crazier than the playoff numbers that TK had put up. in 16 games played, he put up 7 points- all assist. Uh oh.

Since then, he has nothing but down years. Fand and the media grew concern more and more- what happened to the real Travis Konecny or was that just a fluke. Hearing more and more so often, the potential "ship out" of his role here in Philadelphia. Trade rumors circling and people calling for him to be moved for a "real goal scorer".
What happened to TK? Where is the goal scoring that we all once saw? I am on record saying i think he should be packaged out and someone new brought in. He has played at a "less then par" mentality and looks lost at times. Continuous puck handling issues, and just not in the right spot.
No one knows what TK we will get heading into the 2022-2023 season, but whoever it may be. Should probably come ready to score, or he just might be shipped out.
Will the real "TK" please show up?
