brelic Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Luke Schenn and VLC are healthy scratches. Del Zotto back in the lineup. They need to get rid of a defenseman or two. And use the boys on the farm (Manning, Alt) in the event of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Luke Schenn and VLC are healthy scratches. Del Zotto back in the lineup. They need to get rid of a defenseman or two. And use the boys on the farm (Manning, Alt) in the event of injuries. This was my complaint earlier in the season when Ghost was healthy. Hextall doesn't want callups from the AHL this season for some reason. And that reason seems to be making sure the Phantoms have a successful first season to build a fanbase in Allentown. Things though might have changed once Ghost went down. Other than to have 4 pair of d-men for practice it really doesn't make a ton of sense not to trade one for some sort of asset moving forward. Management probably still thinks this team can be a contender to make the playoffs, thus they will hold off from making any trades for now.

OccamsRazor Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 They need to get rid of a defenseman or two Yes just move one or two of the guys and for just picks or something and lets give the kids some minutes this team isn't going any where anyways and they can't be worse.

brelic Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 @doom88 @OccamsRazor @hf101 Yeah, we have two healthy defensemen scratched on any given night. I know injuries can come up at any time, but I think they could move at least one of our NHL defensemen. I'd keep Colaiacovo as 7th, and move one of the other guys.

radoran Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 And that reason seems to be making sure the Phantoms have a successful first season to build a fanbase in Allentown.There is, of course, still no evidence for this whatsoever.They've called up players when needed and Laughton has played his way into the lineup.Exactly what Hextall said he wanted to see.Oh, and the Phantoms are 13th in the AHL Easteen Conference...

murraycraven Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Considering Laughton and Gost were both called up I think this theory can be put to bed... They are the best 2 prospects for the Flyers that are Phantom players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesesteak Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 They've called up players when needed and Laughton has played his way into the lineup. I'm really liking Laughton centering Simmonds and Schenn....I'd like to see them play together and really develop some chemistry, this line could be good for years, let's hope it works out that way.
