RW Bobby Brink - Philadelphia Flyers, NHL (2019, 34th, PHI)

[UNITEDSTATESOFHOCKEY]

Didn't see a thread on this player, 1st Rd. Pick of Sioux City (USHL) and a Denver University Commit... Here are some highlights from prior to his HS teams run to the Minnesota State High School Class AA Title last season... that first goal... not bad

 

[AmericanDream]

kid is going to be a good one...nice start to the year for Brink...very smooth player

 

[Burn]

This kid is dynamite. Middle sized but strong with fantastic 1 on 1 skills.

Kind has some Oshie to his game.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

great name

 

[tony d]

Sounds like a good player, is he on the brink of being a 1st round talent?

 

[Spectra]

Would draft for name alone.

 

[North Country]

I see he is listed at 5'10 now and up from 5'8" when I last saw it listed. Will probably go higher than than the late third round I figured him for. Very dynamic player.

 

[Jaykay]

He should be sneaking into the late first, early second round conversation with how he's playing in the USHL. It will be very interesting to see whether he stays in the USHL or goes back to Minnetonka, there are a lot of rumors flying around both ways.

What a name

 

[North Country]

Still blown away that Brink, Meyer and Francis didn't get invited to play in the AAPG game.

 

[JiggsNY]

HAd a hat trick last night. Now second in the USHL in scoring with 22 points in 13 games. 8 goals and 14 assists. He sure should be shooting up many lists.

He's 31 on mine.

He’s playing with Martin Pospisil on top line in musketeers right? Pospisil centring it? They must be a good combination!

 

[North Country]

This line is dominating and the passing in the offensive zone is really something.

 

[Tryamkin]

Bobby is going to challenge for a mid 1st round selection at this rate by the end of the year, he's playing out of his mind alongside Martin Pospisil.

Pospisil opens up a lot of space for him... Brink may bump up close to the 1st round but with the depth at the NDTP and Europe at the top end of the draft It might be difficult for him to go in the top 31 given his lack of size. Not saying that's right but historically forwards at his size don't typically go in the 1st round often in top heavy drafts like this one..... its stupid but just the facts!

 

[HockeyRobinson]

#34 on my board and quickly rising. He's a fun player to watch

[Jaykay]

Another hat trick last night.

 

[tony d]

Guy sounds like he's on the brink of being something special. Will be interesting to see if he keeps it up.

 

[AmericanDream]

these are getting into Kyle Connor numbers for a non USNDP draft eligible player...has to be a name that starts getting listed in the top 25-31 range right now.

+ he's a late birthday July.8

 

[JiggsNY]

Is it known if he will stay with Sioux City the whole year, or go back to HS?

 

[William H Bonney]

Is it known if he will stay with Sioux City the whole year, or go back to HS?

I don't think there's been an official announcement either way, but I believe the expectation is he's going to stay with Sioux City for the entire year. Minnetonka winning the state title last season certainly helps him leave I'd think. We'll certainly know soon though as Minnetonka starts their season in less than 2 weeks.

 

[William H Bonney]

It's a real shame he was injured this summer and couldn't play for Team USA at the Ivan Hlinka. Based on his USHL start, you'd have to think he would have been an impact player there and would have done wonders for his draft status.

 

[EpicDing]

So I guess we could say it looks like he's on the brink of being a 1st rounder?
