Oilers Trade Pitch Lands Flyers’ $70 Million Forward in Edmonton
The Philadelphia Flyers are off to a rough start in the 2026‑27 season, and that has everyone talking about potential trades. One name that keeps coming up is Travis Konecny, a 29‑year‑old right‑winger who signed an eight‑year, $70 million deal. The Edmonton Oilers have been mentioned as a possible destination, with some observers saying they could use another top‑six forward who can shoot right and bring energy. Konecny put up 68 points in 77 games last year, and while he hasn’t found the net yet this season, he still has a few assists. Flyers fans are getting frustrated with his style, and a change of scenery might help both sides. If the Oilers acquire him, he could play alongside Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl and give the team a fresh scoring option.
