The only problem I see with Konecny so far is that he definitely has some nerves still.
He's missed a few open nets and other shots that normally would be a slam dunk for him. Obviously this will be fixed with experience and time, but it's just a shame because he's played so well he deserves these goals.
Couldn't be happier with him otherwise.

Looking fwd to tonight's game with the Leafs. Flyers young guns led by Travis and Ivan vs. the Leafs young guns. Neither team the strongest defensively. Could be a barn burner. Really looking fwd to seeing Konecny play though. He always makes an impression on me when I see him play.

You should try and find a replay of the Flyers last game against Detroit. He missed a goal he should have scored, and then instead of sulking, he became a little ball of hate hitting everything in sight.
It was fantastic to see.
When Philly traded up to get him, it was to increase their chances of adding a top 6 player to the lineup. They got exactly what they wanted.

Jealous the Flyers have this guy. He's basically a right handed Parise. We'll see how he holds up considering he is pretty small

Please do not take this as anything other than I 100% agree. But I have always thought so highly of Travis. I had him rated 11th OA in the draft. Flyers are extremely fortunate to have him. Well worth the trade up.

Oh I don't. I remember you being high on him before he was drafted. You were spot on.

Going to take this as a big compliment considering I've never seen you say something good about the Flyers
.... but yeah, TK takes a lot of abuse for his size. I think he'll be ok as he physically matures and perhaps even become more aggressive in the hitting department. Teams have definitely been targeting (mostly cleanly) Konecny a lot so far.

No, I was talking about how he would abandon you guys to go home

I was hoping the Leafs would take him or Bracco at 24, was a bit bummed when we traded down and he was who was taken with the pick...then more so when I got to see him last year. My only concern was durability or injury given how the type of game he plays and being his size. So far it's not been an issue at all.
Really nice goal. A lot of teams missed the ball in that draft.

Nice goal by travis. He's strong on his skates, kind of reminds me like crosby in that aspect. Great player

Many thanks.
Nice goal, Carrick might want to try and slash or trip him up if he wants to stop him...very nice goal for TK

But man was that a mans move by TK, loved the goal.

He took a big swing at Tk's stick....but TK managed to keep the puck on his stick then score.
Almost every game, TK creates 3-5 scoring chances. Just what we needed.

Konecny thanks you for your loyalty and rewards you with a goal.
Your post made me laugh. TK's a beauty. You guys are the lucky one's. Cheers mate.

In junior he reminded me of maybe a bit less defensive(not a knock, he's very good, just compared to the Mike Richards I saw in junior), but better skating version of Mike Richards, who was my favourite player in my slightly younger years. He's a strong skater, tenacious, gritty, physical and talented offensively. If he develops the Richards two way game (and I don't think that's a big stretch) he will be a fixture on a strong team.
