Prospect Info: Phantoms (AHL), Reading Royals (ECHL), NCAA, Jrs., Int'l, etc. [Mid-April Edition]

[Ghosts Beer]

I wouldn't read too much into a 3 games in 4 days on the road series.

Admittedly small sample, but still a disappointing playoff performance.

And though I'm not arguing it's dispositive, it's also not like it was my first time seeing Attard and having the same questions. I would have preferred being disabused of my skepticism, and that didn't happen.

 

[BernieParent]

I wouldn't put it past them to be proud he made the playoffs

And look at the development! He fixed York, made Foerster and Attard better, Ersson turned into a legit NHL backup under him, etc., etc.

 

[GKJ]

It seems like the thing people should be asking about the phantoms is if they’re not willing to play Maier, why then do they not have enough goaltenders? They went halfway into double overtime the night before. You can’t ask your goaltender to play both nights like that. You sure wouldn’t do that in the NHL.

 

[mr4tno]

I've suspected the AHL suffers some from the NHL moving away from goons and DPE guys to finding all the skill they can.

Except the Flyers do not espouse to this, yet the Phantoms still suck. Unbelievably inept or-gan-eye-z-ation

Knoblauch is probably the only decent coaching hire the team has made in ten years. At all levels.

[deadhead]

Well, they learned what a playoff grind feels like.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Moral victories are where it’s at man. This organization.

 

[BernieParent]

They learned:
- To lose in double-overtime
- To be eliminated in a blowout
- That the Flyers coaches believe player fatigue is a myth

Raise the banner in Lehigh. “Valuable Experience was Gained- 2022/2023.” Puckface’s credentials continue to grow.

 

[VladDrag]

This is the definition of a participation trophy.

 

[Curufinwe]

If they had waived Sandstrom like they should have, he could have helped out in goal.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

It's been a while since I've seen a goalie ridden in the AHL like the Phantoms rode Ersson. With the frequent back to backs and occasional 3-in-3s, pretty much every other team has a platoon system in place. But I swear, by the second half of the season, Ersson was in net most nights when I either saw them play or boxscore watched, regardless of the schedule situation.

 

[Curufinwe]

This guy only played 6 games due to injury.

NHL experience would have been more valuable for them.

 

[GKJ]

Grosenick was a great signing if you look at his numbers. Just didn't stay on the ice.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

It's not whether you win or lose...... it's how you play the game. Flyers Management.

 

[captainpaxil]

Not sending down York meant the difference in game 2

[Hinterland]

Unfortunately won't get an assist on this goal by Othmann but Zanetti actually did most of the work on this one. Also had a nice keep in along the boards earlier in the same shift which allowed the Petes to keep the pressure on.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Sign him!

 

[landsbergfan]

Vital for them to experience losing before joining the Flyers

Alexis Gendron had quite a season
PO: 13g 8-4 12 ES 6-1 7 PP
Regular: 63g 33-22 55 ES 21-4 25 PP
They must use him in a Ovechkin type role on the PP, guess he can shoot the puck.

5'10 174 when signed. Currently listed at 180. Probably play at 185 lbs or so, TK size.

Scouting Report: Alexis Gendron - Smaht Scouting

Smaht Scouting's Josh Tessler takes an in-depth look at 2022 NHL Draft prospect Alexis Gendron (RW, Blainville-Boisbriand).

smahtscouting.com

In terms of pre-Draft national rankings, the player was ranked No. 141 by Central Scouting among North American skaters, while McKeen's ranked Gendron 71st overall among all draft-eligible players.

Alexis Gendron, RW, Gatineau Olympiques (Philadelphia Flyers)​

Over the past couple of years, Gatineau’s lack of high-end finishers didn’t enable them to capitalize on the talent of some of their more dynamic playmakers. They solved that problem when they brought Alexis Gendron from the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, one of the best net-front scorers in the QMJHL.

Undersized, he doesn’t bulldoze his way to the cage. He’s more cunning than that. He dangles through sticks and scores by anticipating puck movements and presenting his stick at just the right time to his teammates at the far post. If Gendron can continue to develop his speed, playmaking game, and grittier side, he could carve himself a role in the NHL down the line, not unlike another similarly talented, seventh-rounder, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard.

Not a good game for the Petes but this was one heck of a play from Zanetti.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I wouldn't read too much into a 3 games in 4 days on the road series.

But we should read heavily into preseason practice?
