2 reasons to like the Travis Konecny contract and 1 reason to hate it
Travis Konecny is going to be with the Philadelphia Flyers for a long time.
Travis Konecny can be a great leader for the young kids coming in
The National Hockey League goes so much farther than the actual on-ice play. To be good, you need good people around to create a winning culture.
It seems that Konecny is one of those players for this team. He can be a leader both on and off the ice which is not something that everyone is capable of.
Sometimes, you add a little bit extra value to a player for being older, stronger, and having the ability to lead young men in a very difficult sport to play.
With youngsters on the team like Matvei Michkov, Jamie Drysdale, and Bobby Brink in the mix, they need leaders and Konecny is one of the top ones. He will be around to lead for a long time.
