Travis Konecny needs to lead by example this season

Sean Couturier may be the team's captain. Matvei Michkov is the darling of the team right now. However, the Flyers' highest-paid player is their most talented. That guy is Travis Konecny.

He is no longer a "young player". He is a respectable, all-star veteran. He is a team leader. The team rises and falls on him, taking their lead while he puts the team on his back. It's time to take the role of a leader and bring this team to new heights.

Konecny was a first-round pick by the Flyers in 2015. He was selected 24th overall in the same draft that they selected Ivan Provorov seventh overall.
