Another aggressive, two-way center, Connor Bunnaman was the Flyers’ next selection in the fourth round. Thought of as a bit of a project, there was an upside to his game. He was strong defensively and positioned himself well in the offensive zone.
He proved that with 16 goals and 38 points the season before his draft. He was even better the following season, posting 37 goals and 52 points for the Kitchener Rangers. His goal total slipped a bit in his final season in the OHL, though he only posted two fewer points.
Debuting with the Phantoms last season, Bunnaman looked good in 62 games with the team.
