C Denver Barkey - London Knights, OHL (2023, 95th, PHI)

[Kcoyote3]

Barkey has looked great. Excellent speed, handling, zone entries. If you can nab him in the second I think you've done really well.

Bonk in all likelihood gets drafted ahead, and Bonk is fine, but I'd rank the Londoners as - Barkey, Bonk, Cowan.

I like Barkey better than Bonk. Bonk doesn’t really impress me too much. I’m not knocking him and I am fairly certain that Bonk will be a NHLer but I just don’t see that one attribute that he is amazing at. He is good all round and doesn’t have much of any weaknesses in his game. He just doesn’t stand out to me.

Now Barkey stands out to me every time I watch him. He is very noticeable every game.

Bonk will never be a dynamic offensive talent in the NHL, but I think he has the tools and IQ to become a modern-day high-end shut down defenceman in the mould of Marino and Lindell.

I would probably have the 2005 crop of Knights as Cowan-Barkey-Bonk. Cowan has the size and speed advantage over Barkey and I have a much easier time envisioning Cowan as an NHL player than I do Barkey.

Don't sleep on him too much, if nothing else I think he will be one of the best players in the OHL over the next couple seasons.

Fun player to watch. A lot of grit and skill, fast as f*** too. Flyers fans should be excited.

After his hat trick last night he’s at

7g 6a 13p in 8 gp

 

[KapG]

38gp - 22g 39a 61p

Surprised no one is really talking about him because he seems to be putting up some great numbers. Future NHLer?

Man that London Knights team is stacked. Barkey, Bonk, Julien, Dickinson, George, Haltunnen, Lawrence, Simpson, O’Reilly, Sim.

And most of them can return next year. Insane.

Great season for the 3rd round pick so far.

64gp: 35g 67a 102pts

That’s a 43 point increase over last season in 3 more gp.
