Just one spot.
A lot of people don’t think Lindblom can play RW but he sure can.
Any intelligent player with puck skill can switch wings. It may not be their preference, but it’s not as big a deal as made out. Most of the difference is in the defensive zone and transition hockey. You adapt.
It’s the players who aren’t exactly great on their own side who you don’t want switching (ex. Simmonds, Wayne). Farabee has played RW; Lindblom as well; I doubt Frost couldn’t equip himself.
So Bigras, Prosser, and Wotherspoon got 2 year deals.
The following players will be in the discussion to sign ELCs and start 20-21 in LHV:
Bernhardt - rights expire next summer
Ginning - Flahr mentioned him coming over as a 20 year old, would be a mistake but...
Hogberg - rights expire next summer
Kalynuk - will be 23, ready for pro hockey, risk him going UFA if he goes back to school
St. Ivany - unlikely to turn pro next season, but an outside chance
Wylie - has to turn pro or they lose his rights next summer
York - probably will be a two year guy, but also has an outside chance
Also possible a guy like Friedman is still there.

Legitimately worried about too many of our college/foreign players not signingSo Bigras, Prosser, and Wotherspoon got 2 year deals.

I had him with the big club.You forgot Big Z. He will be in Allentown.

(I was looking on the reserve list. He already has an NHL contract.)
But yeah, it's potentially going to be crowded and there's a chance they have no intention of signing some of these guys.
Exactly. I played wing most of the time, and a bit of D. Granted it was at a MUCH lower level, but I never had the slightest problem switching from the left side to the right. As a RH shot, it could be a bit more difficult defending on my off side, but it was often an advantage being on the left side in the O zone so it all balanced out.Any intelligent player with puck skill can switch wings.

Brennan will probably stick around as long as he wants to play. His production probably depends on whether or not that's an AHL or NHL deal. But he said back when he first signed here that he didn't sign with the Flyers, he would've retired.
"like"Definitely disappointing that not one of our D prospects is being brought into the AHL this year. Truly don’t understand why Hogberg and Kalynuk are not there this season
Kurtis Gabriel could be a nice 13th forward. JFB seemed pretty promising at one point, maybe he can regain some of that?
