Bump and Kaplan

Interesting enough Bump signed ATO and Kaplan signed ELC

Guys who needed signing

 

[barriers]

Bump seemed like the perfect candidate to get in that last game of the season to get a feel for things. That's too bad but he'll get that 1st NHL game in sooner or later

Wonder if there's anything to read into that difference.

Bump may be betting on himself to the get up to the new CBA. Charlie seems surprised Kaplan signed but I guess they didn’t want him to play out his senior year.

Bump Luchanko Grebenkin. 1st line Phantoms for the playoffs. 3rd line Flyers next year ;-)))) Kaplan 4th line Phantoms next year.

Maybe they gave them the option. I do believe the AHL has a roster limit on how many non-AHL vets can play so maybe both of them couldn't go.

I am also wondering if on the fringe prospects if they are giving them a 2-year prove it window, if they don't perform they can just let them go quicker.

Luchanko is playing like an AHL 4C so far. No chance he gets 1st line minutes down there, and he doesn't deserve them either.

So they can burn a year of Devin Kaplan but couldnt/wouldn't for Gauthier. Good lord this team is balls

Bump should be fun to see.

How exciting, we’ve found our next Vandevelde and Hathaway!

Raise the f***ing banner!

Its almost as if they are rubbing our noses in it.

Yup, he’s on pace to become the righthanded version of Scotty “Culture” Laughton.

I wonder if they take a Flyer on Owen Michaels, Bumps teammate at WMU

I coined the nickname LAUGHTchanko for a reason.

So long as they don't call him sarge. What a dumb nick name

Dunno. He did great in the championship game. Sam Colangelo is WM alum too; 2nd rd pick of Ducks, big boy too, looked him up only 9 goals. WM is definitely a North South team. BU was an East West team. WM said FU, I’m just going to skate through you or FU up in the corners. Funny, how Kaplan was really one of the BU players that had a FU attitude during the game.

Considering it's an insult, I always found it hilarious.

That’s how I feel. Im sure he’s an NHL player, but how good can he actually be.

 

[trostol]

where is all this love for Bump on social medias coming from? like fans think this guy is gonna change the franchise

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

Don't expect anything from Kaplan. Phantoms player at best.

Bump is far more interesting.
