The prospects in LHV right now are better served playing a lot of minutes in the AHL.

Foerster for example probably needs a summer to work on his skating and improve his puck handling, if he struggles a bit in the AHL, he'll be eaten alive in the NHL.

Only a handful of NHL players are ready at 19-20 years old, and they tend to be top 15 picks.

Most don't start until they're 22-24 years old, with D-man generally a year or so older than forwards, especially D-men who lack top skating skills (b/c they need the experience to avoid mistakes they can't outskate).
Don't disagree for several reasons. Just wish they had a better more in tune to the current NHL product then cement head.

Brink just got cleared to play for LHV.
Like to see him on a line with Desnoyers and Bellows, and Lycksell to return to join Anisimov and Foerster.
Those are 2 pretty good lines, and they make a lot of sense which is why you will never see it. Gotta make sure O'Reilly and Wilson get their top line minutes....

Go with Wilson - Brooks - Marody as your 3rd line, O'Reilly is at the end. But that would be a solid AHL line.

Nice play by Lycksell on the forecheck, steals the puck and makes the pass to Foerster.

Ginning +2, either he's playing well or he's one heck of a lucky charm.

Watching the Phantoms play the Marlies . Just about thru 2 periods their are 29 shots on goal for both teams and 8 goals . AA has 2 goals and 1 assist and is the main reason for our production . I know he is old and slow and his game will not translate to NHL production but he kicks ass in the AHL .

He's good for Lycksell and Foerster, Desnoyers probably isn't ready to drive a line, and J Cates ain't no playmaker.
Lycksell is just waiting for JVR to be traded, then he'll step right in with Frost. That would some speed on that line.

Ginning has a goal and is +2, pulling away from Zamula.
