Flyers send 3 notable prospects down to the AHL in most recent round of cuts
Broad Street Hockey • • sports
Key Points:
- The Flyers have made a key round of preseason cuts, assigning forwards Cole Knuble, Jacob Gaucher, Jett Luchanko, and defenseman Oliver Bonk to the AHL to continue their development with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
- Despite strong preseason performances, especially from Knuble who impressed coaching staff, the decision reflects the team's intent to prioritize player growth in the AHL rather than limited NHL roster roles.
- The Flyers' current roster stands at 26 players, with a few extra forwards and goaltenders providing depth and insurance ahead of the season opener, while the final defenseman spot remains contested between David Jiricek and Simon Benoit.
- The team plans to use their upcoming Saturday exhibition game as a final dress rehearsal before the regular season begins next Wednesday.
