Oshawa vs London tonight on NHL Network at 7:00. Barkey + Bonk and a bunch of interesting 2024 draft prospects.
2023-24 #2: Phantoms (AHL), Reading Royals (ECHL), NCAA, Jrs., Int'l, etc.

A ton of talent in this London/Oshawa game and Barkey is the best player on the ice on virtually every one of his shifts. With any luck he could have at least two goals in the first period.
Finished with 2 goals, 2 assists… and he could’ve had a lot more. He was easily the best player on the ice.
Bonk had a goal and stood out to my eyes too. Can’t say for certain his play in the bumper will translate to the NHL, but I think he’d be the most skilled guy on the Flyers at deflections if he was added to the roster today.

Wait.... that is Sotheran with the good numbers? Man I must catch him play on his off days.
You mean the Flyers actually drafted someone with hand-eye coordination. Next to speed it is the least desired skill of Flyers management

Without following Cole Knuble, I hope some of this father rubbed off on him. I remember it was Knuble, Smyth, Holmstrom, and Tkachuk as the four premier garbage goal guys in the league at one point.

I thought Bonk and Barkey both looked really good the other night against Oshawa. I was impressed by Bonk’s mobility with the puck in addition to his shot. He seemed to be a quality puck mover. I can see him as a first pair defenseman. Dickinson looked very good too. The Flyers won’t be able to draft him but I could see Dickenson and Bonk as a quality first defense pair.

Wow! That’s good to hear. Lots of folks have been pouring cold water on Bonk this season as a bumper player only. Good to hear that he might be more than that.
What? No one wants to talk about that cracker jack squad - the Phantoms. IL has them firing on al cyliders
I think you have to have some deep orange colored glasses to watch Bonk and see anything above a hitting the powerball type of odds of him becoming a #1D. I do see a decent chance at a very cerebral #2/3 with a unique set of skills on the powerplay that have a better chance of translating at the next level than most people think. And that’s pretty good for where we selected him.

If you read what I wrote, I clearly said first pair. A number 2 defenseman would be a first pair defenseman. We have similar views of Bonk. Dickenson may be a number 1.

And isn’t that pretty much the best we could hope for in terms of where we picked him? Seems like he has shut a lot of people up.

No. Just getting him his signing bonus early.
25-26 in all likelihood with maybe a stop in LHV before then.

Only after London's season and their seasons usually go longer than the Phantoms'.
What season doesn't go longer than the Phantoms, especially with rock head at the helm?

Cagnoni going late in the 4th round will always be funny.
