Daily News | Development camp debrief: Flyers assistant general manager Brent Flahr evaluates the team’s 2022 draft picks
last week for their prospects and for a of player invitees. Unlike rookie camp, which falls right before training camp in September, development camp provides an opportunity for the player development staff to slow down and teach the players different facets of the game.
With development camp in the rearview mirror, Flahr reflected on his big takeaways from the week and shared his expectations for some of the Flyers’ top prospects this season. Part 1 of this multipart series will focus on some of theDevelopment camp marked the first time that the staff got to see the 2022 draft picks in person.
That next phase of learning will come at Boston College where Gauthier will take more reps at center after playing mostly on the wing with the U.S. National Team Development Program. Flahr said that young centers often try to do too much on their own, which won’t work at the NHL level against bigger, longer defensemen. Instead, they must learn to pick their spots, move the puck, jump into holes, and get the puck back.
Wherever Gauthier was on the ice during development camp, his USNTDP teammate Devin Kaplan generally wasn’t too far away from him. Kaplan, the Flyers’ 2022 third-round pick, was a “little more raw” than some of the other prospects, according to Flahr. Even though Kaplan’s path to the professional stage may be a bit longer than that of his peers, Flahr was extremely high on Kaplan’s physical tools.
