Prospect Info: 2023-24 #1: Phantoms (AHL), Reading Royals (ECHL), NCAA, Jrs., Int'l, etc.

[CerpinTaxt]

Patrick Sharp and John Leclair have done a number on our player development. Amazing how quickly things turned around. Now we have too many A+ prospects, WTF do we do?

Teach them all to be 4th line grinders and then sign veterans to play the 4th line anyway

Cutter OT winner

ANOTHER top of the circle goal? lol. That shit is rarely going to go in in the NHL.

 

[Beef Invictus]

It's the same old Flyers except they drafted Michkov, Barkey and Ciernik in the same draft.

Heard this before.

Projected lineup today for Lehigh Valley Phantoms preseason finale against the reigning Calder Cup champion Hershey Bears.

Koletrane Wilson

Love the kid's first name, particularly if you love Jazz. He was on a tryout for the Phantoms.

Oh they have to play a RHD prospect on his off-side because Belpedio had to be re-signed (for two years!).

It's like they don't even think these things through.

cutter with an OT snipe to win BCs first game 2-1

I am watching that game right now. It’s been super sloppy from both teams thus far (mid thru 2nd), penalty after penalty… but Cutter has made a few decent passing plays on the half wall on the PP. Still shooting more than I would like to see, but it’s awesome to see progress.

Fun fact re: Gendron -

Only three 7th round forwards have played more than 40 AHL games in their D+2, this century. They averaged .29 PPG. Me thinks the Flyers would be wise to send him back to the Q for his overage season.

He has nothing left to prove at that level. 69 goals in 76 games (including playoffs).
If he can't produce at the AHL level, the talent probably isn't there.

That doesn't mean he'll be an instant star, just that either the Q production was a mirage or a sign he's special, and only one way to find out.

Gamesheet: Hershey at Lehigh Valley - Oct 8, 2023

gendron with a goal today in the phantoms win over the reigning calder champs, lets maybe not send him to juniors

 

[FLYguy3911]

Glad we are now OK to judge results of preseason games involving fringe AHL players. That was a no-no yesterday.

it doesn't have to be a mirage at all. Juniors much diff than the pro level. May not translate or just may not be good enough.

let him ride that confidence into the pros then, its unlikely he hits 60 again its rare even for the Q. if he starts scoring right away you can start giving him bigger minutes and get him ready earlier or you can let him cook.

4 of the top 10 goal scorers last year spent a season in the AHL and half the top 20 points getters in the playoffs last year were all AHLers at one point, let him hone his craft against pro goaltenders

ahl I agree. Longshot prospect who maybe just maybe turns into something.

[Tripod]

We should drafted him with our 2nd. Oh wait.

 

[wankstifier]

We should drafted him with our 2nd. Oh wait.

Most casual end to end goal

 

[Magua]

We should drafted him with our 2nd. Oh wait.

The Devils have him, Hamilton, L. Hughes, Nemec. Weirdly enough, they value skill and having elite offensive defensemen doesn't prohibit drafting more skill. Then they acquired their two actually plus defensive defensemen at a discount.

I feel like this is a better process than spending all your premium assets on mediocre defensive defensemen and then putting all your offense in the hands of York/Andrae.....

 

[tnfrs]

sounds like we're gonna have no trouble walking through the devils defense in a couple years lol

 

[Magua]

The team that gave up the 4th fewest xGA/60 last year?

Who besides Michkov is exactly walking through anyone? Meanwhile, Jack Hughes and Co. vs. the stifling Flyers defense......

 

[FLYguy3911]

A career .88 PPG scorer in the worst Major Junior League in NA is too good for Junior hockey.

lol maybe post what i said so everyone can see how you misrepresent things lil fella

View attachment 750138

Did you figure out how PTOs/ATOs work yet chief?

The team that gave up the 4th fewest xGA% last year?

Who besides Michkov is exactly walking through anyone? Meanwhile, Jack Hughes and Co. vs. the stifling Flyers defense......

Skilled defensemen are automatically bad at defense. You know the rules.

 

[tnfrs]

below average skaters who barely break 5'10 and play bad defense are bad at defense lol but you can fawn over the competition all you want, seamus casey doesnt impress me. tell jersey to sign them all, we'll send the culture line over and over again until his hollow bird bones snap under the sheer weight of deslauriers' viking beard fetishes braided into it

 

[Magua]

"Below average skater."



I must be missing the burners the Flyers have on their future backend. Criticizing the Devils defense and exalting the Flyers at the same time is a DOOZY. Casey is maybe the Devils' 6th best defender in the organization? That's the point. And you'd be lucky if Bonk is half as good as Siegenthaler and Marino on the subject of defensive defensemen.

 

[tnfrs]

i dont have to be lucky bonk just has to keep developing, Ive watched him. I dont rely on highlight packages to make my opinions on players. theres like 5 defensemen under 6 feet in the top 60 defenseman, seamus casey doesnt have the foot speed to win races to the battles he will inevitably lose anyway, because battles and net front hes useless. Bonk'll just whip some zingers through the screens Casey can't move
