Flyers Rookie Camp Roster
The Flyers have 16 forwards, eight defensemen and three goaltenders on their Rookie Camp roster.
Forwards
Denver Barkey (W/C): Played 43 regular season NHL games plus 10 playoff games for the Flyers last season. As such, he does nor technically qualify as a “rookie” under the CBA but he qualifies for Rookie Camp as an entry-level contract player entering his second season. For him, Rookie Camp is a potential springboard toward solidifying his NHL role in the main camp.
Brady Berard (F): Berard, 22, aims to make the transition from NCAA (Providence and Boston College) into professional hockey this season. The Phantoms signed him to an AHL contract for the 2026–27 season. Berard is the son of college coach David and the brother of Montreal Canadiens player Brett Berard. He is not related to former NHL offensive defenseman Bryan Berard.
Alex Bump (W): Played 17 regular season games plus six playoff matches for the Flyers last season. His bigger challenge will come at the NHL camp, where he’ll try to earn an opening night roster spot this time around.
Alex Ciernik (W): The skilled but inconsistent 2023 fourth-round pick has come to North America for his first full season. He aims to gain a regular AHL spot with the Phantoms over the next year.
Sawyer Dingman (W): The son of former NHL tough guy Chris Dingman, the Swift Current Broncos forward (6-foot-4, 224 pounds) also likes to play an aggressive physical style. Dingman, born Sept. 11, 2008, barely made it in under the Sept, 15, 2008 cutoff for 2026 Draft eligibility. He was unselected this year. If he does not earn an ELC out of camp, he’ll try again for the 2027 Draft,
Matthew Gard (C): On June 1, Gard committed to Michigan State, starting in the 207-28 season. He will play one final WHL season for the Seattle Thunderbirds this season. However, the clock freezes on his NHL signing window while committed to the NCAA. The Flyers like the big forward’s size, physicality and upside as a potential bottom-six forward of the future. Philly selected him late in the second round of the 2025 Draft.
Devon Kaplan (W): The power forward had an early season three-point game for the Phantoms. Thereafter, the former Boston University winger had a very uneven rookie AHL season. The Flyers burned the first year of his ELC the prior year with a one-game NHL stint. The 22-year-old is a restricted free agent after the 2026-27 season.
Cole Knuble (W/C): The versatile second-generation member of the Flyers organization enjoyed a solid collegiate career at Notre Dame. He also played well in a late season AHL spell with the Phantoms. Knuble saw time both at wing and center with Lehigh Valley.
Jett Luchanko (C/W): The 2024 first-round pick is coming off core muscle surgery to repair an issue that lingered for 18 months. He’s under a lot of pressure to have a quick start. However, the Flyers won’t rush the now 20-year-old forward.
Porter Martone (W): The sixth overall pick of the 2025 Draft made an immediate NHL splash late last season.Martone retains rookie status under the CBA but his Flyers stint burned the first year off his entry-level contract. Martone is the player who will get the most fan attention at camp.
Owen McLaughlin (C): The 23-year-old Chester County native is on a minor league contract. The former North Dakota and Boston University player finished last season (13 games, eight points) in the ECHL with Reading. He could be an ECHL/AHL depth option. The Flyers no longer officially hold his NHL rights. However, the Royals/Phantoms have him for one more year.
Ilya Pautov (W): The Flyers made the 2024 sixth-round pick a surprise ELC signing on June 1, 2026. He’s very small but also highly skilled. However, Pautov lacks even KHL experience. The organization has a few options with the 20-year-old. If he doesn’t earn an immediate Phantoms spot, the Flyers could loan him to a European team. It would burn the first year of his entry-level deal in either case.
Noah Powell (W): The power winger left college in-season last year and joined the Phantoms. He dressed in 16 games for John Snowden’s team. He aims to expand his role in 2026-27
Nathan Quinn (C/W): The smallish Quebec Remparts forward took a big offensive step during the 2025-26 regular season. The D+2 player (7th round, 2025) still has work to do in order to earn an entry-level contract. His QMJHL scoring stats won’t get him there in and of themselves.
K.J. Sauer (C): The Flyers took the big high school/ USHL power forward in the fifth round of the 2026 Draft. He will head to the NCAA come 2027-28 for UMD (Minnesota Duluth). Sauer is a multi-year developmental player. He won’t fast track to the pros.
Riley Thompson (C): The Flyers signed Thomspon as an undrafted free agent out of Ohio State on March 26, 2026. He appeared in nine late season games for the Phantoms.
Defensemen
Oliver Bonk (D): A Rookie Camp injury set the 2023 first-round pick back last September. He missed the early season for the Phantoms. He settled in progressively upon his return. Bonk appeared in one regular season match and one playoff match for the Flyers. He may not start the 2026-27 season in the NHL but he will push to challenge for a spot at some point this year.
Jackson Edward (D): The Flyers acquired the 22-year-old Edward and center Brett Harrison in the trade with Boston for Alexis Gendron and Massimo Rizzo. Edward could see time in 2026-27 with both Reading and Lehigh Valley. The Flyers did not tender a RFA qualifying offer to Harrison.
Spencer Gill (D): The Flyers remain high on the huge-framed but also mobile and skilled blueliner. He dealt with significant injuries the last two seasons. Nevertheless, the 2024 second-round pick enjoyed a strong finish to his 2025-26 season once he made a healthy return late in the season. He hopes to parlay it into an impressive rookie AHL season.
Brek Liske (D); The Flyers 2026 second-round pick enters his Draft +1 season with the defending WHL champion Everett Silvertips. He came on strong in the second half of last season, especially in the playoffs. The lifelong Flyers fan attended Development Camp with Philly and the World Junior Summer Showcase with Team Canada.
Ty Murchison (D): The defensive defenseman enters his second full pro season. He impressed with the Phantoms (29 games) and the Flyers (3 games) last year before suffering a season-ending upper-body injury. He’s a dark horse for an NHL roster spot out of camp. However, he stands a good chance at an NHL recall within the season.
Maksim Sokolovskii (D): The hulking –but mobile — 2026 first-round pick will head back to the Ontario Hockey League’s London Knights before the start of the regular season. At Rookie Camp, he’ll look to build off an impressive showing at Development Camp.
Riley Steen (D): Born September 7, 2008, the blueliner is another late birthday player who went unselected in 2026. The Medicine Hat Tigers (WHL) defenseman is a physical stay-at-home defenseman. Despite not even turning 18 yet, he’s spent portions of two seasons already in the Western League
Luke Vlooswyk (D): Liske’s Everett teammate enters his D+2 season. Philly likes his size (6-foot-5, 210 pounds), mobility and raw tools. However, the 2025 fifth-round needs a breakout overall season to land a coveted ELC by June.
Goaltenders
Carson Bjarnason (G): The 2023 second-round pick got off to a surprisingly strong start for the Phantoms early in his first pro year. Unfortunately, Bjarnason was unable to sustain it. As the season progressed, Bjarnason struggled considerably. He eventually saw ECHL time with Reading. However, he’s hardly the first goaltender to hit a wall as a rookie.
Martin Psohlavec (G): The Flyers liked what they saw of both Czech goalies at the Under-18 Worlds this spring. Philly ended up drafting both of them in 2026. Psohlavec, a second-round draftee, is the more highly touted of the two. He had an excellent 2025-26 season in his domestic league in Czechia.
Marek Sklenicka (G): 2026 fourth-rounder Sklenicka already came over to North America last season. He showed flashes of strong play in the WHL over 42 games with the Seattle Thunderbirds.
