Making your season debut against the Florida Panthers is no easy task, but Andrae made it look so as the Flyers out-shot their opposition 7-1 with the Swede on the ice at 5-on-5.
..
We know the Flyers are hell-bent on building a Stanley Cup-contending defense that’s stocked to the brim with size and range, but they aren’t there yet. How can that be enforced reasonably against Andrae despite being a handful of years down the road?flyers are adverse to want to lean into skill. stuck in the 70’s
the hunter hype train has come to a complete stop. “jonesy” all quiet on that front.
I have yet to find someone who agrees with the Flyers and what they are doing.

Strong play, an intriguing skillset, good compete in puck battles, none of it seems to matter when it comes to Andrae securing an NHL future. It seems as if no matter what he does, the Flyers view his role as already filled by Drysdale and York, and Tocchet, Briere, and Jones do not seem to be bullish on the idea of having three offensively-minded, smaller defenders on the same team. That crunch results in Andrae repeatedly being shuttled up and down between the NHL and AHL levels, even when his play suggests otherwise.
It is a case where the meritocracy that has been preached from the Tortorella era, into the newly minted Tocchet regime, has not been followed. Andrae, frankly, has shown himself to be an NHL defenseman whenever he has gotten time with the big club.
So just “two more weeks” for Oliver Bonk to begin his professional career. I’m sure there are no concerns with all the radio silence.

He’s entering Ryan Ellis territory with these injury updates. I don’t think they have even told us what the injury is have they?

Risto pushed back another month, for those actually looking forward to him returning.
The way these updates keep coming in for Bonk and Risto, we may not see either this year.
did risto have elbow reconstructive surgery? hysterical. he has been out since what march? when did the actual surgery occur as forget. flyers crack pot medical team on their game once again.
when he does return the spin will be this like making a trade for a top 4 dman and the like.
Flyers’ Ristolainen, Bonk out for at least 5 more weeks, according to report
According to The Athletic’s Kevin Kurz, both defensemen Rasmus Ristolainen and Oliver Bonk are approximately five to six weeks away from being back in game action. Kurz also adds that that is the timeline as long as there are no setbacks to either blueliner’s recovery.
This just keeps getting wierder and wierder. Bonk’s timeline went from day to day, to week to week, to now month to month? The way this is going we may be attending their funerals before the end of the season.
There are so many parallels as to how the medical staff handled the Ryan Ellis situation early on.
