Matthews basically knew he'd be in the NHL this year. he went to the Swiss league to earn some cash. Not so he could play in the A this year. Is it possible? Sure. I just get sick of people who don't watch junior trying to 'fix it' by sending players to the A. When the other leagues catch up to the CHL in providing NHLers then maybe we should worry about development here. I know you do, FC. I'm just not sure that's what the article was claiming. He didn't claim it was broken or that he was trying to fix it - just trying to explain the eligibility rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Here's an update from today's Phantoms practice: http://highlandparkhockey.blogspot.c...preseason.html I know the lines will be changing, but here's what they looked like today: Danick Martel - Andy Miele - Chris Conner Tyrell Goulbourne - Mark Zengerle - Petr Straka Greg Carey - Kevin Sundher - Nicolas Aube-Kubel Steven Swavely - Radel Fazleev - Corban Knight Chris McCarthy - Justin Crandall* - Derek Mathers Will O'Neill - Travis Sanheim T.J. Brennan - Reece Willcox Robert Hagg - Max LamarcheDaniel New* - Jesper Pettersson Only two unsigned guys left in Phantoms camp. It'll be interesting to see how the lines/pairings shake out as Flyers make their final cuts. Regardless, it's going to be a talented roster from top to bottom for Lehigh Valley this fall. Edit: I just copied and pasted from the guy who covers the Phantoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel for Goulbourne. He did nothing but get drafted too high. He's going to be a very good player in his own right. What's not to like about a guy who will probably be a 15 goal scorer, elite penalty killer and someone who can kick the crap out of any team's players that take liberties with ours. He'll never be a glorified scorer, but he's going to play an important role when he arrives. I expect him to have a 35 - 40 point season in Lehigh Valley.

I guess i'll believe that when he scores 15 in the AHL first. Baby steps i guess...but we're talk about guy who is ALREADY producing in NHL.

Sometimes, the hate the kid gets is unreal, even though he did nothing to warrant it. As for his playing time in the AHL, looks like he's slated for the second line on the left wing. He could really put up decent numbers. When you consider he scored 7 goals last year while playing less than 9 minutes a night, his jump in ice time should lead to a jump in production.

Wait a minute i'm not hating on him just pointing out a fact that they could use a LW like Duclair whom is doing well at the NHL level already. Flyers needed LW depth at the time and still reach for a guy like Goulbourne who may or may not even make it to the NHL level in fact they didn't even offer him an entry level deal first but a prove it AHL deal. I'm not mad at Goul but it would have been nice to have Duclair at their disposal now than where Goul is now. Guess we'll see soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Wade Allison scored his first collegiate goal and celebrated accordingly http://sonsofpenn.com/flyers/wade-allison-collegiate-goal-gif-celebration/ This kid may end up being the steal of the draft for Hextall, going to round into a nice power forward they need.....a cross between Leclair and Hartnell.

OccamsRazor Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Wow Phantoms got blasted tonight in their preseason opener. Not the start they envisioned. Stolarz gives up 6 goals in the first 40 minutes....yikes from what i read not all on him. No Morin or Leier tonight. Man if this team misses the playoffs again Hextall must find a new coach because Gordon has to much talent to not get there. He must go of they are out again.

I watched Tyrell all last year in Allentown where he is a huge fan favorite and I seriously doubt he'll ever make the Big Show. He just doesn't have any touch around the net and is too small to be a genuine tough guy. He skates well but gets caught out of position a lot. Not a particularly punishing hitter either. He isn't a sparkplug that gets the team going when they're flat like little Danny Martel or Cole Bordreau. I'm not saying he stinks; he's just not special. But he sure has a hell of a surprise first punch. Three times I've seen him knock down an opponent on one punch. The Stortini one was unbelievable. I never ever saw anyone leave the ice as wobbly as Zach Stortini did that night. Funny thing was that Zach came back in the second period and scored a goal and was named the Number One star.

OccamsRazor Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Crazy times to see the Flyers listed in this category i say.....but i love it!!! Top 10 Goalie Prospects in the NHL http://thehockeywriters.com/the-top-10-goalie-prospects-in-the-nhl/ 9. Carter Hart, Philadelphia Flyers The 2016 NHL Draft saw the value of goaltending prospects plummet, and there wasn’t a netminder picked until the Philadelphia Flyers scooped up CHL Goaltender of the Year Carter Hart with the 48th overall selection. Hart was initially projected to be a candidate for the back end of the first round, but concerns over his size caused him to slip to the Flyers in the middle of the second round. The Flyers’ goaltending is in a state of flux, with both halves of their 2015-16 goaltending tandem, Steve Mason and Michal Neuvirth, set to hit free agency in the summer of 2017. While Philadelphia has a nice stable of young netminders, headlined by Anthony Stolarz and Felix Sandstrom, Hart has the ability to be the best of them all. Carter Hart at Flyers Rookie Camp. (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers) Despite standing just 6 feet 1 inch and weighing in around 180 pounds, Hart’s great season as the starting goalie for the Everett Silvertips made him the first draft-eligible goalie to win the Goaltender of the Year award since Chet Pickard in 2008. A netminder with an unflappable demeanor and great athleticism, Hart appears to be an early favourite for the role of Team Canada’s starting netminder at the World Juniors. While the 18-year-old is still probably several years away from contending for a starting spot with the Flyers, Hart’s success and pedigree up until now bode well for the future of the Flyers’ crease.

Not really impressed with the forward corps. I hope it gets better in the coming years with guys like Rubtsov, Allison, Laberge. Bottom line is that we have no top tier forward prospects since Konecny graduated to the big club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJgoal Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I imagine Weal will be there too. They actually have some serious AHL firepower. I think three guys on the team have led the AHL in scoring over a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaking down a Phantoms roster that has plenty of talent and potential A good read i think, gives you some input on some of the forwards and Dmen they have collected to help push this team to the playoffs...got to get these kids some experience and confidence....i like the approach...they don't make it and Gordon will be out after this year i know it........ http://sonsofpenn.com/flyers/phantoms-roster-breakdown-royals-preview/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
