pilldoc Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 FLYERS ROOKIES TO WATCH Foerster, a hopeful for the Flyers opening-night NHL roster depending on his performance in camp, is arguably the highest-profile prospect on the Flyers Rookies Roster for the two-game set. Last season, Foerster led the Phantoms in scoring with 48 points (20g, 28a) and played in the American Hockey League All-Star Game. Late in the 2022-23 campaign, he made his NHL debut and produced seven points (3g, 4a) in eight games with the Flyers. Elliot Desnoyers was the Phantoms' goal-scoring leader (23 goals among his 44 points) as an AHL rookie last season. The two-way center played in all game situations for head coach Ian Laperriere's club. Desnoyers also appeared in four NHL games during the latter part of the season. A Hobey Baker finalist in 2021-22 for NCAA champion Denver, playmaking forward Bobby Brink is now fully healthy after missing the first half last season due surgery to repair a torn hip labrum. He started to round back into form late last season and finished the 2022-23 NHL campaign with 12 goals and 28 points in 41 games. Emil Andrae, an excellent puck-moving defense prospect with power play upside offensively, joined the Phantoms late last season after completing his Swedish Hockey League campaign with HV71 Jönköping. This coming season, Andrae will spend his first full campaign in North America. He's aiming to make the jump directly to the NHL level but, if not, will gain valuable experience first with the Phantoms. Originally drafted by the Flyers in the second round (54th overall) of the 2021 Entry Draft, Finnish winger Samu Tuomaala is returning to North America to play for the Phantoms in 2023-24. A speedster with a heavy shot, Tuomaala had some ups and downs in his native Finland the last two seasons after briefly starting the 2021-22 campaign in the AHL with the Phantoms. In the second half of last season, Tuomaala seemed to regain his offensive confidence while continuing to grow more of a two-way game. He'd added considerable physical strength over the last two years. Signed by the Flyers to entry-level NHL contracts earlier this year, forward Alexis Gendron and offensive minded defenseman Ethan Samson are under-the-radar names to watch the rookie game. At the QMJHL level last season, Gendron racked up 33 goals and 47 points in 34 games following a trade to the Gatineau Olympiques. He followed it up with 14 goals and 19 points in 13 playoff games. Samson, meanwhile, compiled 60 points (18g, 42a) in 60 Western Hockey League regular season games for the Prince George Cougars in 2022-23. In the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, the Flyers selected defenseman Oliver Bonk with the 22nd overall pick of the first round. Philly later traded up to gain a second-round pick in order to take highly-regarded goaltending prospect Carson Bjarnason. In round three, with the 95th overall selection, the Flyers took agitating and speedy forward Denver Barkey (a teammate of Bonk's with the OHL's London Knights). In round 4, 120th overall, Philadelphia picked Slovakian speedy puck-handling wizard Alex Ciernik. All four players -- Bonk, Bjarnson, Barkey and Ciernik -- are attending their first NHL Rookie Camp this September and all are slated to play in the Rookie Games.

That is a mobile pair with some good size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
