We don’t need flashy D men. Loved Stenberg, but I love this pick at 22
Several people including Central Scouting had Bonk a lot higher than mid second round where this guy had him. Polarizing guy for sure . Hockey writers say he is a two way defensemen (developing) and a sure future top 4 defenseman so that is in direct contrast to this guy's opinions.
Time will tell let’s us hope that he’ll be a good one
I was rooting for Gabe Perrault at #22 since he and Cutter Gauthier are teammates at BC but I guess they went with another former player's kid … I just hope this pick does not come back to haunt them, esp with Perrault going to the NYR at #23!!!
Last year the Flyers have a chance to draft a very good one D. ( David Jiricec) this year a very good forwards that a big mistake
