The Philadelphia Flyers haven't had great success with first-round draft picks, but Travis Konecny was the Great Steal of 2015 and should've been a quarter-century player.
Konecny has been on a steady rise. He has led the Flyers in scoring each of the last three seasons and four of the past five. An All-Star last February, he finished the 2023-24 season with a career high in goals (33) and points (68), and he’s on pace to shatter his best numbers with 35 goals, 59 assists and 94 points this year.

Konecny scored an empty-netter in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Devils. Konecny potted his 21st goal of 2024-25 in the final seconds of the third period. He has five tallies and eight helpers in his last 10 outings. Konecny has a team-leading 54 points through 47 games this season.
