Philadelphia Flyers reportedly growing frustrated with $70 million forward as trade possibility emerges

The Flyers are 0-5-2, and the early panic has reached one of their biggest names.

Travis Konecny could be asked to waive his no-movement clause if the slide continues, according to Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff.

Di Marco reported Tuesday that frustration with Konecny has been building inside the organization.

One source felt he doesn't move the needle much when he isn't scoring or getting under opponents' skin.

Another pointed out that he has been the one constant on a power play that has struggled for years.

The 29-year-old has led Philadelphia in points five seasons in a row and hit 61 or more in each of the last four.

He has just three assists through five games and has missed the last two with an injury.

There's also a belief that his game may not fit the more structured offensive style Rick Tocchet wants, a big change from the rush-heavy approach he thrived in under John Tortorella.

Philadelphia has also scored only eight goals through seven games.

The Utah Mammoth were floated as a possible fit, with coach Andre Tourigny's system seen as something that could lift Konecny's play.

The Flyers also liked Caleb Desnoyers in the 2025 draft and would reportedly have interest if Utah were willing to include him in a deal.

Nothing is imminent. Konecny signed his eight-year, $70 million contract in the summer of 2024, so he's only in year two, and the full no-movement clause means he has all the say.

Philadelphia would need him to agree first, then find a team willing to take on that money.
