I love the vision management has for the flyers' future. They're great hockey minds and they make me believe in their plan that they are truly building towards to the next hockey dynasty and I have faint in it
Love Jonesy. Loved him in broadcasting. Now I love him as Flyers' El Primo. Along with Briere, one of my favorite Flyers ever, it's a special leadership team.
Good job Bill & Charlie. Jonesy is great. Bill, that was an excellent finish of "we'll see ya next week" because no way does he want to do this weekly. Lol. If you get him monthly though, that's cool.
He’d definitely get more opportunity in Philly which really could help. As the above commenter said, a Tippet type. Philly could really unlock his potential.
Flyers fans. Just because we lost cutter doesn’t mean we don’t have young talent coming. Denver barkey is one of the best players in Canada right now. And Oliver bonk might be the best defenseman in Canada right now. Barkey-64 points in 40 games. Bonk-16 points in his last 5 games, 45 in 30.
Love Jonesy, but no way will we draft a center good enough for Michkov in the late teens or 20’s. We need another superstar. Maybe trade Frost, Florida’s 1st, & Grans for Zegras? That would also help getting Drysdale to resign here. Plus, Zegras & Michkov would be magical together. There is always Kent Johnson who wants out of Columbus. Byfield? Good 2nd line centers would be Shane Pinto or Cole Sillinger. We really only need 2 centers (preferably C/LW) & this team is theoretically “rebuilt”. Comcast needs to arrange Matvei’s freedom for our playoff run bc playing on the worst KHL team has made Matvei very sick apparently. Can we please get rid of Atkinson while he is producing. Let’s extend TK, & give him the C!
I didn't know about Hunter Mcdonald. If anyone is curious, but a quick lookup he's 6'4 205lbs LD. 8 games 2 assists. I'm thinking he's their younger tough Seeler/Risto? I know Risto shoots R. But their style etc.
@sirfish9824 Oh man they been crushing it this year! I could see them doing a season in the minors before the big club next season. Especially how Brinks season has gone.
@@VenomClawslol I meant Denver barkey. And yeah they are just a bit undersized for the nhl now. They are so skilled tho I cannot wait. I think they are both going to be something special.
@sirfish9824 you know that's so funny I knew you meant Denver Barkey and didn't even notice it. I'm either ignorant or excited, take your pick 🤣. Bonk has a higher ceiling with his draft position but I'm definitely optimistic about Denver. Denver being a small center could get buried quickly over time. Maybe being lefthanded can help his cause. Heavy Rs as of now.
I really appreciate the transparency from the organization
Excellent interview. Jonesy is perfect in this role.
Great job, Bill & Charlie!!
Great interview …
I love the vision management has for the flyers' future. They're great hockey minds and they make me believe in their plan that they are truly building towards to the next hockey dynasty and I have faint in it
I feel like I’m listening to an angel. Guy legit made me smile 3 times through the interview
Great vid! Thanks Mr Jones for being available!
Great questions and responses. Mr. Jones is a gentleman.
Love Jonesy. Loved him in broadcasting. Now I love him as Flyers' El Primo. Along with Briere, one of my favorite Flyers ever, it's a special leadership team.
Love Jonsey , great hire .
Good job Bill & Charlie. Jonesy is great. Bill, that was an excellent finish of "we'll see ya next week" because no way does he want to do this weekly. Lol. If you get him monthly though, that's cool.
How can u not love Jonesy. Such a likeable dude. Seems to be very willing to sit down & have legitimate interviews with many outlets.
If you ever catch him in public he’s happy to talk too. Will always stop and take pictures.
Awesome stuff!
great interview...thx
*My Relationship with Boston College ends & my relationship with Northeastern begins*
I know he's not a center but what Do you think about Arthur Kaliyev
I've wondered about him as well. Seems to get pushed aside with how much proven Skill Kings have. Kind of like Tippett was.
He’d definitely get more opportunity in Philly which really could help. As the above commenter said, a Tippet type. Philly could really unlock his potential.
4 or 5 years Keith? For Drysdale? WOW
Drysdale is already good, but that’s how many seasons until we see him improve when he likely hits his max talent etc.
Only 21. Usually your prime starts when you're 24-25.
Defensemen mature later than forwards. Even a guy like Hedman wasn't the beast he became until like 25 or so
Agree that's awful.. cutter will b very good right away.. putrid deal
Flyers fans. Just because we lost cutter doesn’t mean we don’t have young talent coming. Denver barkey is one of the best players in Canada right now. And Oliver bonk might be the best defenseman in Canada right now. Barkey-64 points in 40 games. Bonk-16 points in his last 5 games, 45 in 30.
Briere is lucky to have a confidant like Jones to lean on.
I didn’t realize what a nerd Charlie is.
Love Jonesy, but no way will we draft a center good enough for Michkov in the late teens or 20’s. We need another superstar. Maybe trade Frost, Florida’s 1st, & Grans for Zegras?

We already drafted one. Denver barkey. He’s got 64 points in 40 games in the ohl.
And Oliver bonk has 16 points in his last 5 games as a defenseman in the ohl on the same team as barkey.
We have a Solid president hockey 🏒👍
Jonesy is an absolute legend
Fantastic interview, I do appreciate the straight forward answers from the organization.
I didn't know about Hunter Mcdonald. If anyone is curious, but a quick lookup he's 6'4 205lbs LD. 8 games 2 assists. I'm thinking he's their younger tough Seeler/Risto? I know Risto shoots R. But their style etc.
Look up Connor barkey and Oliver bonks stats. Two of the best players in Canada right now. Hopefully they will move up next season.

@@VenomClawsyeah they will most likely move him to the wing but we’ll see
I hope the Flyers pick Tig Ingila with the mid- 1st round pick because I always like the DNA of 2nd generation pro athletes!!!
He looks like a pretty good prospect, and he can play center which they need
If we get iginla I’ll be so hype. His pops was one of my favorite players growing up.
Always liked Jonesy!! GO FLYERS GO!
