[Curufinwe]

Last names both begin with L. Close enough.

 

[TB87]

Lacyznski seemed to find another gear skating wise from what I remembered from his OSU days.

It’s very noticeable (& awesome) to see.

How is Foerster skating? That was supposed to be his weakness.

How is Foerster skating? That was supposed to be his weakness.

No major issues, little awkward like a lot of larger forwards JVR & Couts but nothing that would impact him at NHL level. He has some puck carrying ability that I didn't think I would see. Still little rough but if he can enter the zone like a Voracek he will become a very strong NHL player. For an 18 yr old he's playing well same with Widsom

Funny how things change, couple years ago the organization was weak on the right side, now they're weak on the left side.
Some of it is how players developed.

LW: G (33), JVR (31), Lindblom, Farabee (if moved), Laughton (FA), Raffl (FA), Cates, Twarynski, Ratcliffe, Sushko, Lycksell, Desnoyers
RW: Voracek (31), TK, NAK, Allison, Brink, Kase, Sandin, McClennon

Centers: Frost (L), Bunnaman (L), Rubtsov (L), Laczynski (R), JOB (R), Wisdom (R), Foerster (R)

Looking up Logan Day's history.

"The Florida native went undrafted out of the high school ranks in Maine before attending Providence College in 2014. He played just two games for Providence that season and decided to transfer to Northeastern. Because of NCAA transfer rules he ended up sitting out the entire 2015-16 season, but never did play for Northeastern afterwards. Instead, Day ended up suiting up for Endicott College, a Division III school in Massachusetts, where he racked up 78 points in just 56 games over two seasons. His stint at Endicott ended early though as the Condors signed him to an ATO last spring and got him into ten games down the stretch."

#26 Logan Day, age 24, 6’1, 209 lbs., 2018/2019 UFA signing
Day is the latest of this type, signed to an AHL contract one year ago and then upgraded to an NHL pact this off-season. As a 24-year-old he gets just a one-year Entry Level Contract so the clock is already ticking. Credit where due, he made a decent first impression on that AHL-only deal. He was a total wildcard, coming as he did from Endicott College of NCAA III.

He continued to bring a solid attacking game in Bako, posting 7-27-34 in 64 games. That was good enough to lead the Condors in defence scoring, just ahead of more established prospects Ethan Bear (31), Caleb Jones (29), and Lagesson (27). The right-hand shot impressed this observer with his skating, shot, and overall talent level at last year’s Development Camp, and apparently did the same with the likes of Jay Woodcroft and eventually Ken Holland to earn the new contract. The weakness, as one might expect. is in the defensive zone, with positioning and coverage and the odd bad turnover. He’s a long shot for sure, but talent is talent and his ceiling has yet to be established.

But like many players on the Condors he suffered a setback in 2019-20, first suffering a hand injury in training camp that delayed the start of his season. Eventually he played 48 games which included time on the wing as well as on D

"Draft and college" is good in theory, but not in practice for Edmonton Oilers in recent years | Edmonton Journal

Thanks, he definitely has looked good the games i've seen this year. Dmen really do need a lot of time to adjust to pro hockey unless you can insulate them with a sound system and reliable vets

 

[Larry44]

How is Foerster skating? That was supposed to be his weakness.

If you watch the highlights of his goals he seems to be moving pretty good.

 

[Math the wild rose]

what the players progression look like?

 

[FLYguy3911]

McClennon 1+1 after two. Roddy Ross is taking a beating.

 

[CDJ]

Kid is hard working energy player that has strong hockey sense. Been the biggest surprise of the year

There is a guy/insider on the bruins board who used to scout the ohl in some capacity and he was all in on Wisdom for the Bruins 2nd rounder, not surprising to see him have immediate success. That guy knows his stuff

What’s Willman up to? Looks like he’s scoring

 

[Johnny Danger]

how do you like Emil Andrae's development?

Wisdom looks like a really good prospect. Stepping right onto an AHL first line is impressive. He's strong, fast, skilled and tough.

well that answers my question about him lol

good person, good family. You guys may have found a sleeper in him

 

[FLYguy3911]

I'd hope an Attard signing is on the horizon as he is UFA this summer.

 

[deadhead]

I'd expect they'd offer him an ATO with a handshake understanding that they'll sign him to deal once the season is over.
I don't think he be a premier FA if he decided to go that route, and the FLyers certainly provide an opportunity for a full sized RHD.

tHe AhL iS a DeVeLoPmEnTaL lEaGuE.


So much for that young defense.

 

[mize370]

I do not think the Flyers could handle the Phantoms forecheck.

 

[Stizzle]

Tanner great pass to Willman. Stoned.

Tanner to Day on the PP, who misses a wide open net.

Zamula end to end on the PP. Draws a penalty shot. Misses on the PS.

 

[FLYguy3911]

That was entertaining.

 

[TB87]

This Phantoms team is must-watch TV.

Seriously.

 

[mize370]

Phantoms have been entertaining all year so far that i have seen. Z looks good tonight. Allison can sure rifle the puck too

 

[phil162888]

Guys go buy the AHL TV right now... Going to be a brawl tonight.... BTW this is the most excited i've ever been about our prospects.... Allson looks like a stud same with Foerster, Tanner, Z and Wisdom.

Also Read the phlly.com article about Morin.. its exactly what i've been saying

 

[Stizzle]

I hope Ted didn't see that last Pouliot shift on the PP. Yikes.
