This Phantoms team might be fun, they're on a roll.
Gendron is someone to watch, really quick hands, shot gets off in a hurry, his goal scoring is no fluke, and he has speed and quickness to go with it, needs to get stronger and round out his game but he's still young, turns 21 on Dec 30.
Avon is a work in progress, has skill, 6 for 9 in the shootout, really nice skater, just hasn't translated that package into 5x5 production yet. Turned 21 in July.
Tuomaala turns 22 in January, he's another showing improvement, starting to work on the forecheck, the speed and shot are givens, scoring on the PP, but has to be a two way player at 5x5, since his best bet is to make the NHL as a forechecker and work his way into the top 9.
Lycksell is getting some puck luck after a long cold streak, leads the AHL in shots, playing on the right side now, at some point he's going to get another shot at the NHL this season, will have to take advantage of it like Andrae has, at 25 he's running out of time.
With Andrae gone there's no sure NHL player on this roster, so their recent success is more of a team thing. Makiniemi has given them a solid starter, and they're 3-0-1 with him in the net.
