Bonk was selected by the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round (22nd) at the 2023 entry draft in Nashville.
He's the kind of defenceman who can be thrust into a variety of roles.
Bonk has good size. He's engaged in the defensive zone. He can escape pressure and skate pucks up ice on his own occasionally - or join the rush as an extra layer.
He has an undervalued shot from range and has proven he can score on the power-play.
Best described as a 2-way 'D' who provides better than secondary offense.
There are times he overplays his route in the defensive zone and opponents slide off him down the boards. Something he will need to adjust to on the big ice at the WJC.
