"We are happy to have Travis under contract for the next six seasons," said Fletcher. "Travis has shown progression in each of his three seasons and is an integral part of our group of young forwards. His speed, skill and tenacity sets him apart in today's NHL."

"I'm really excited about signing with the Flyers and being able to call Philadelphia home for the next six years," Konecny said.
