Seriously, he's going to be a top pairing defenseman for a long time. That was also a need. Flyers power play sure could use a skill injection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with this kid and Bonk it should help fill out the right hand side on the blueline in another year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted November 22 Author Share Posted November 22 It would be nice if Danny could go ahead and pull off a trade and get some more of these kids up to help out this putrid PP. https://twitter.com/TheLibertyYell/status/1727138314032239101/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1727138314032239101¤tTweetUser=TheLibertyYell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Friedman reported it. As a right handed defenseman man...price at the deadline could net a nice return. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 Bonk putting together a really nice season in London. 22 games, 22 points, 5 goals with little power play time. He might end up being one of those rare defensemen that will put up numbers with very little power play time. I think he's going to make the jump as a 20 year old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy if Bonk had the same career arc as Bowen Byram. 2nd paring guy who gets pts despite not being on the top pp. Of course, Byram is blocked by Makar, where Bonk does not have that problem. Its not like York is hard to leapfrog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Samu Tuomaala with a goal and two assists tonight and Alexis Gendron with two goals in a 5-4 win over Rochester. Of note, Tuomaala now has 17 points in 18 games and is tied for the AHL lead in assists with Brandt Clarke. I think it's safe to say that Samu is back on track and that he looks like a legitimate prospect again. He seems to be hitting stride. Hopefully the Flyers do the right thing with him and leave him in Lehigh Valley for the year. Let him get on a role and dominate down there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it may have saved this young man's career and that is so great to hear. Every man needs a good role model and it seems these two found each other at the right time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he would have a bounce back year since he's about a year out from knee surgery. I didn't expect him to play as much or as well as he has. Ideally the Flyers will be a couple of 8 points out of a playoff spot at the trade deadline for any Walker deal to happen. If they keep playing as they've been, right now they're 2nd in the Metro, I can't see where dealing one of the team's better players is a good thing for the rebuild. Unless the plan is to trade every player that skated for the team this season. (It's not). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end goal ....unlike other regimes is actually winning the Cup..not making the playoffs...so that will factor in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played well, but it seems Briere really wants to build a sound and solid foundation and I'm not sure if Walker fits the bill. I had also read online that Vancouver has started to sniff around and that there have been scouts at Flyers games watching Walker. If the offer is something like Aatu Raty and a draft pick, Briere should be all over that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the offer is something like Aatu Raty and a draft pick, Briere should be all over that. I'm kinda hoping for a high 2nd round pick .... 1) The guy is 29 years old, possibly playing over his head a bit. Sean does not really fit the rebuild time line. 2) He's a right handed D man ....those are always in high demand. 3) Not really a factor, but Danny already won his first substantial trade. Getting something of substance for the "throw in" Walker will make it look like highway robbery. 4) We all know how GMs lose their friggin minds adding Dmen at the deadline. Sounds crazy, but a late first from a Cup contender is not out of the question. 5) A Russian that should have been ranked much higher but ignored due to the World today?? Yes please!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
