Earlier this week, one of the more prominent potential 2025 unrestricted free agents came off the market when the Flyers inked winger Travis Konecny to an eight-year, $70MM contract extension. The breakdown of the deal wasn’t announced at the time of the signing but PuckPedia reports (Twitter link) that it’s as follows:
2025-26: $2MM base salary, $9MM signing bonus
2026-27: $5.25MM salary, $3MM bonus
2027-28: $3.5MM salary, $7.5MM bonus
2028-29: $4.6MM salary, $6MM bonus
2029-30: $4.35MM salary, $5MM bonus
2030-31: $2.1MM salary, $4.5MM bonus
2031-32: $6.6M salary
2032-33: $6.6M salary
The deal also contains a full no-move clause for all eight seasons along with a 14-team no-trade clause in each season. In this instance, the NMC is protecting against a waiver placement.
More from the Metropolitan:
- The Devils have three restricted free agents still to sign, one of which is goaltender Nico Daws. His agent, Quartexx’s Paul Capizzano, told Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News that the two sides are getting closer to a resolution on a new deal. The 23-year-old posted a 3.15 GAA with a .894 SV% in 21 starts with New Jersey last season, numbers were nearly identical to his 25 appearances the year before. Daws also put up a 2.89 GAA with a .890 SV% in 10 games with AHL Utica. With Jacob Markstrom and Jake Allen in place, Daws will head into next season in a third-string role after Akira Schmid was moved to Vegas at the draft.
- After having a very limited role when he was in the lineup down the stretch last season, Rangers winger Matt Rempe told reporters including Larry Brooks of the New York Post that he’s hoping to secure a more prominent role for next season, singling out the penalty kill as an area he wants to work on. The 22-year-old averaged just 5:38 in 17 games during the regular season so even becoming a passable option shorthanded could allow him to play more of a regular role as he looks to lock down a full-time roster spot.
