Excited to see Nesbitt this year in the O….same with Luchanko….although it would be nice to see Jett moved to a better program. Also interested to see if either Russian goalie has a strong camp.

– Flyers want to see from Jack Nesbitt in his first pro camp? Not look overwhelmed would be my main one.

– Will Philly experiment with Oliver Bonk as the power play bumper guy in camp? being they are not a forward-thinking organization I doubt it. Tocchet likely has no idea he did that in juniors.

– What is Denver Barkey’s probable — and best-case — ceiling as a pro? No idea. too early to say IMO.

– What’s the latest on Aleksei Kolosov? Loan him out to Russia. If you have him, Ivan, and Carson at LHV that will be a mess. Will have unhappy capers.

– What should Flyers’ fans make of Dale Weise’s recent comments about his time in Philly? Is he really off base with what he said? Don’t look at who said but what was said. Jake is a loser and played on nothing but losing teams. No cup contedning teams ever wanted his services. Wonder why? Great talent though.

-In a rebuild, what are the key responsibilities of veterans who remain with the team? Play well for your next contract or to get traded!!!

Our PP has been pathetic the last few years, so why not try Bonk as the bumper? I know we don’t have a John LeClair, Mike Knuble or Wayne Simmonds type of player on the team, but I would like to see somebody cause a little mayhem in front of the net on the PP.

Well he’s still on the payroll and the PP advisors didn’t give the Flyers much bang for their buck, so have him suit up. How much worse can it get?
