W Alex Bump - Western Michigan University, NCAA (2022, 133rd, PHI)

[Pavel Buchnevich]

17 points in 27 games this season. Minnesota kid that also put up high totals for his high school team. Has one more year in the USHL and then going to Vermont for 23-24.

My notes from what I watched of him this season.

Bump: Winger with a good amount of offensive ability. Can stickhandle, pass, shoot, and has good hockey sense. Edges are pretty good, and skating is about average. Listed at 6’0. I think he looks a little taller, probably 6’1 or 6’2. He also will go to the net. I find that his biggest issue is that he needs to put on weight as he gets muscled off the puck easily. He struggles to protect the puck and is easily pinned to the boards when he tries to skate along the boards with the puck. He’s a player with good offensive upside though. I think he’d be a good pick in rounds 3 or 4.

I think he already has a thread. Looked incredible at the tournament

I could’ve sworn he had a thread also. Someone made it after the tournament. Can’t find it though. Odd.

He did, it had like 20 posts and a ton of clips of him abusing the MN state tournament. It was probably lost in the Great Migration.

Are you saying he should have Bumped it?








I'll leave.

Welcome to Philadelphia

 

[Bonin21]

Leaving Vermont and likely going to Minnesota since they have 12 forwards after Cooley left.

That along with Vermont’s head coach getting canned last week for inappropriately texting a UVM student

This guy is fun at a party.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Off to a decent start at WMU.

Has anyone seen him playing for the Broncos?

Nice bump.

Had the 2 Broncos 3rd period goals in a 5-2 loss to St. Cloud tonight

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Impressive over the weekend playing in the NCAA regional. Two-way positioning will need ironing out at the pro level but that shouldn't be a problem assuming the current coaching staff is still in place in Philadelphia when he signs.

Nice thread bump

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Brad Schlossman (North Dakota & NCAA Hockey reporter GOAT) thinks Bump is ready for the NHL after this season. Bump had a great series for Western Michigan at The Ralph this past weekend. Certainly worth keeping an eye on to see if Briere offers him the ELC once Western is done this year.

How's he looked this year? A lot of talk the Flyers really like this kid relative to where they took him

Dangerous every shift in the offensive zone.

Move over Michkov

What do you think his ceiling and NHL projection is watching him? Thanks!

I think in the last 30 years, the best player the Flyers have had outside of the first round is Bobby Brink. Would be nice if Bump topped that

Patrick Sharp?

but man that was 2001 what a wasteland in drafting for Philly.

Yeah, a major reason for the Flyers ~15 year struggles is the inability to find success outside of the 1st round.

So 24 years ago and the flyers gave up on him immediately haha

Tough sledding
