Oilers Trade Pitch Lands Flyers’ $70 Million Forward in Edmonton

With the Philadelphia Flyers’ disastrous start to the 2026-27 NHL season, rumors and speculation surrounding everyone on the roster are at an all-time high, and that includes forward Travis Konecny, who could be traded as a result of the very poor start. Konecny carries a no-trade clause in his 8-year, $70 million contract with an $8+ million cap hit. However, there are some teams in the NHL who might be welcome to the idea of taking on that contract, and one of them is the Edmonton Oilers.
