Pharand hurt in preseason game. Out for the prospect tournament

Bogus....he's skates pretty well, has leadership qualities and is tough to play against......hopefully, nothing long term.

That’ll a bummer. Hopefully no more injuries for our players.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He can skate. That's about it.

Too bad fircOharand..

In pre-season hos Sudbury Wolves lost their first game 5-2to the Sport...but hecwas not in the lineup.

In theirc2ndvore-season game hecwas a starter at LW on linex1 and got 2g and1a...and Sudbury won big .. he had 3voiubtsvofvtheirc7 scores.5

He also started again on line 1 in their 3rd game...butmustchave gotten injured early in the game.. go no pints as Sudbury won big again with 7 more goals again...But in both the Sudbury wibs thectop line centers and the Rw had big multi-piubt nights so probably he woukd have shared in their scorong in that 3rd game had he not gotten injured.

In the game he got his 2goals and assust ,his cebtervo tgectop line was Veteran Sacha Delicious.. In the next game he also started on the top line at Lw he had a different center ...Villeneuve had a hatty and an assist that night . SOi think Pharand would have gotten more points had he nitvgotten injured that game ...in both those 7 goals scored wins by Sudbury tge RW was the same on the top line (Keiron Walton) and he had multi-poubtsvin both games.

My ointbus...as imposed to lastc2xseasons where Pharand was 4th andc3rdbline checking center and no pp tome,this season he would seeinibgky be spotted as a top linevor top 2vline winger in a differentvrokecas a scorer.

He probably would be 1 LW *He isxa right shot so the off wing) Unless Quinton Musty is sent back to juniors...Sudbury played Musty at 1RW in theirvgamec1 of ore-season loss and Walton played the 1LW that game.
I think Musty eotgercstocks with his NHL club or pkays for their AHL team this season and is not sent back to juniors..

This should mean Pharand woukd get top line featured duty as a winger this seadon.

But not sure how bad his injury is or how long he will be out.

I’d be shocked if he even became an impact AHL guy

Perhaps not as a scorer, but I think his size, defensive game and skating will keep him around playing pro hockey, health permitting, for a while.
