The Flyers lost two rookie games this weekend vs. Rangers prospects, but the real evaluation for making the NHL roster has yet to begin.
A critical, future-determining training camp was less than a week away, but for a fewhoping to make the NHL team, there was a set of exhibition games — competitive scrimmages seems more apt — to be played over the weekend in Allentown, where the Flyers prospects lost to the Rangers prospects twice, 4-2 and 3-1.
That’s not to say this past weekend’s games were entirely meaningless, but a hat trick from any of Tyson Foerster, Elliot Desnoyers, or Bobby Brink — the three forwards in rookie camp with legitimate chances to break through to the big club — would have done little to move them up the organizational depth chart.
Foerster, Desnoyers, and Brink are just three of the team’s prospects hoping to make the big club out of camp. There are others with realistic chances, too, especially on a team that has committed to rebuilding. Some reporters and evaluators, Flahr said, might have players penciled in Lehigh Valley, but acknowledged there are a few players in Voorhees “coming to make the team.”
Regarding the two-week grind of rookie camp and training camp, Ginning, who played in one NHL game last season, said he was feeling “a little bit of pressure, of course, but mostly it’s going to be fun to see how it goes.” So, with Flahr’s method of evaluation as a metric, look no further on the prospect list than Zayde Wisdom, a 21-year-old winger who had a strong showing in his two games over the weekend.
“Last year, he was spinning his tires there, lost his confidence and got away from the type of game he needed to play,” Flahr said. “We want him to score and whatnot, but the biggest part of his game, for him to be effective and earn a spot in the lineup, is his physical play and being involved and being a pain in the ass to play against. You saw that this weekend.
