Flyers may ask Konecny to waive no‑movement clause amid winless start
The team’s 0‑5‑2 record and low scoring have prompted speculation about a trade‑approval request for winger Travis Konecny.
By Felo News Desk · Published
The Philadelphia Flyers could ask winger Travis Konecny to waive his no‑movement clause if the team’s early‑season struggles continue, Sportskeeda reported on October 14, citing Daily Faceoff’s Anthony Di Marco.
What happened
Philadelphia has opened the 2026‑27 season with an 0‑5‑2 record, scoring eight goals and ranking last in expected‑goals percentage. Konecny, the Flyers’ leading scorer for the past five seasons, missed the last two games with an injury and recorded only three assists in his first five outings.
What the reports add
Di Marco’s report, shared by Gino Hard on X, notes that the Utah Mammoth have emerged as a potential trade partner. The article also details Konecny’s contract: an eight‑year, $70 million extension signed in 2024 runs through 2032‑33, with a no‑movement clause for the first six years and a modified no‑trade clause for the final two.
What was said
Hard wrote on X, “The Flyers could consider asking Travis Konecny to waive his no‑movement clause if their nightmare start continues, per @ADiMarco25 👀.”
How it came about
Konecny’s slow start follows a franchise‑record seventh opening‑season loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on October 12, which left the Flyers winless after seven games. Earlier this month, the team set an NHL record for shot deficit in a winless start, underscoring the pressure on management to act.
