Daily News | Flyers draft defenseman Oliver Bonk with their second pick of the first round
NASHVILLE, Tenn. ― After taking a major swing by selecting Matvei Michkov with the seventh overall pick, with their second of two first-round picks, the Flyers played it safer. At No. 22, they selected defenseman Oliver Bonk of the Ontario Hockey League’s London Knights. He is the son of former Nashville Predator Radek Bonk and partially grew up in Nashville, where he was drafted.and third-ranked North American defenseman.
Bonk’s father, Radek, who was born in now-dissolved Czechoslovakia, played 969 NHL games over 14 seasons. He played for 10 seasons as a center for the Ottawa Senators, two for the Montreal Canadiens, and two for the Predators, tallying 194 goals and 497 career points. Oliver was born in Ottawa. The Flyers were always likely to draft a defenseman with one of their two picks Wednesday, as they traded No. 1 blue liner Ivan Provorov earlier this season, and have engaged in trade talks on fellow veterans Travis Sanheim and Tony DeAngelo.
