Daily News | Development camp takeaways: Emil Andrae, Bobby Brink make their cases, Cutter Gauthier absent
The stands at the Wells Fargo Center got emptier and emptier last season as the Flyers continued to plummet in the standings. But with a new sense of hope, the fans showed up in droves this week in Voorhees to get a glimpse of the future of the Flyers and their “new era of orange.”, which consisted of four on-ice sessions, there were fans waiting to ask for autographs. The two days before the Fourth of July brought out especially good crowds.
Andrae is clearly competing for an NHL spot and showed that with his intensity at development camp. But Andrae’s competitiveness didn’t surprise assistant general manager Brent Flahr, who said this is how the 5-foot-9 defenseman has always played.Desnoyers will also be hoping to make the team out of training camp and will try to build off the small four-game taste of the NHL he had last season.
All eyes were on defenseman Oliver Bonk from the get go, since he was the only first-round pick from the last two drafts to attend. He didn’t dazzle with flashy puck skills or goals, but that’s not what he’s known for. Instead, he played steady defense to the point where he kept up and didn’t look out of place against older, more experienced players.
Last year, McDonald was already large. Now, he’s even bigger. He put on about 10-15 pounds over the last year and it showed as he dwarfed most of the other prospects at camp. While Tuomaala hopes to play in the NHL, he said he “most likely” expects to start with the Phantoms. Fans who flocked to the Flyers Training Center to get a look at this year’s draft picks were able to see only six of the 10 picks through most of camp.
