He’s a good prospect but his biggest weakness in his draft year seems to still apply. Not a lot of quickness in his game.

Denver must have had cement skates last night because he was flying last night. His speed, especially with the puck, stood out to me

Speed is subjective. His build up speed is fine and he carried the puck a bunch to be noticeable but much of what separates at the next level is the small area bursts. That’s where his skating is less impressive imo.

I did not watch any off it, but from the stat sheets he seemed to have disappeared in the final four. Maybe he was born to be a Flyer
 
Brought him up two years ago but once again goalie Parker Gohagen is an interesting story for the Phantoms.

At 31 he is no "prospect" but 11 wins in 15 starts and numbers far superior to any of the other goalies in the Flyers' system.

Impressive.

For those watching NCAA what are your thoughts on Western Michigan coach? He's a former teammate of Jones so he's presumably on the short list especially given the prospects he's worked with

He is a legit good coach. He had Western Michigan really playing hard and with good structure. Bump loves him. I’m not sure if he translates to the NHL, but he could.

Western Michigan program was pretty much built by former NHL coach Andy Murray and is one of the more pro like programs in terms of developing players.

Pat Ferschweiler pretty much worked hand in hand with Murray and is a quality coach.​

And until yet very recently rock head still chose Peterson over him

The Flyers lack of success in rounds 2-7 of the draft for like 20 years is hopefully coming to an end. Brink looks like he has to potential to be a 2nd line guy in the NHL. Cates has done well so far as well. Barkey and Bump hopefully translate to the NHL

Success in rounds 2 -4 are what separates good teams from great teams

Nothing against Ghost but when someone like him is your best non-goalie draft pick outside of the 1st round in ~20 years, it’s going to get rough unless you hit big time on a bunch of your 1sts. A lot of the franchises problems finally caught up to them in the last few years
 
Phantoms with luchenko actually have a shot of making it out of the first round. The lapi criticism finally has some ground to stand on as he's actually got a little bit of talent this year
