Emil Andrae

Andrae made the big club after training camp and seemingly struggled out of the gates. The Flyers sent him back down to Allentown to regain his confidence. He’s struggled points wise, just a goal with two assists. He is a -2 for the Phantoms, but the Phantoms aren’t a high scoring team and have a 7-6-2 record. Hopefully he can regain the magic he showed during camp.  Right now, the AHL is the best spot for him as the Flyers seem to be crowded on defense at present.

Adam Ginning

Ginning is one of the guys that they keep talking about trying to find room for him at the NHL level. He even earned a late season call up last year, appearing in one game. Ginning has two goals with four assists, tied for second among all Phantoms defensemen. He also is a -4.

Helge Grans

Grans came over to Philly in the Ivan Provorov deal. He didn’t make much of an impact in the training camp, but has been playing well in Lehigh Valley. He has four assists and leads the Phantoms with a +4 rating. He is appearing to be a solid defensive defender with a little offensive pop and could be considered for a call up later on.

Ronnie Attard

Like several on this list, he was one of the last players sent down during camp. After debuting with the Flyers in 2021, Attard spent the entire 2022-23 season in the AHL and was named an All-Star. So far, he has three goals and three assists. He’s coming off a three point performance in a dominant Phantoms win on Saturday night.

Oliver Bonk

Bonk was the second first rounder selected by Philly after they took Michkov. Some were concerned that he may have been a reach. So far, he has silenced those doubters. The 18 year old has three goals and 15 assists for the OHL’s London Knights. He’s fourth on the team in points (Barkey leads the team) and is in the top 10 in scoring for defenders in the league.

Ethan Samson

Samson was one of the top prospects in the WHL, being a top scoring defender for the Prince George Cougars. In his first year in the AHL, he’s struggled. He has notched just one assist in 12 games with a -5 rating.
