His career with the Flyers has been plagued by injuries in the past, particularly when he had to undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left hip. This injury kept him out of the Phantom's lineup for six months.

The 22-year-old right winger, standing at 5 feet 8 inches and weighing 165 pounds, was drafted by the Flyers in 2019, as the 34th overall pick in the second round. During the 2022-2023 season with The Phantoms, he played 41 games, tallying twelve goals and 16 assists, totalling 28 points, along with 15 penalty minutes.
Brink showcased his talent in a remarkable performance against the Boston Bruins, contributing with an assist, scoring the tying goal, and clinching the shootout winner in the Flyers' 4-3 victory.

Time will tell if he secures a spot on the roster, but I believe he has an excellent chance to do so, especially as the Flyers continue their rebuilding phase, and the team seeks to evaluate his capabilities.
