I think he'll be a 30 to 35 point guy his first year, maybe a sight bump the second season and then explodes in his third year.

It would put him on par with Patrick in his rookie season. More than likely Frost would be playing as the 3C though. That's a tough gig to get 30-35 in a rookie season. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I would def be very impressed if he did that. We all should. If he followed the trajectory you've noted, that would essentially equate him to many top 10 picks, which would make him a definite steal. I hope you're right.

A lot of that will depend on who his linemates are. Surely it won't be Simmonds on the 3rd next year. Maybe NAK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe NAK. I can't imagine Simmonds is long for this team. That would be crazy, right? As far as NAK goes though, that would just be adding a second rookie to the line. Again, I'm not saying it's a bad move, but it's definitely adding even more relative unknowns. At this point though, what the hell do we have to lose?

I'm not worried about another rookie on the 3rd line. He is suppose to very good 5 on 5. Time to sink or swim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) Good to see Morin rounding into game shape...however i don't want him doing this all the time... He will help replace the toughness they will lose is trading Simmonds though... Phantoms don't pick up the scoring there won't be any playoffs for them...they are getting goaltending. Phantoms need to get some guys back in the lineup. Edited February 23, 2019 by OccamsRazor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intheslot Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The Philadelphia Flyers will likely send starting goaltender Carter Hart to the AHL on Monday, according to Dave Issac of the Philadelphia Courier Post. Isaac notes, however, that it will only be a paper move to make Hart eligible for the AHL playoffs, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Ersson it look like you are ready for the next step next year....the SEL...finish strong this year... The future of the net look to be in good hands. If Ustimenko doesn't come over to play with Sandstrom he needs to step to the KHL for sure. He is ready.

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 The left wing is going to be incredibly deep. Besides Ratcliffe, don't forget about Farabee either, who has 29 points in 32 games at Boston University. He's leading the team in scoring as a freshman and could possibly make the jump at the end of the season. Add in Lindblom and the Flyers are in great shape on the left side youth wise. The right side is a little more dicier. There's Wade Allison and NAK, but not much else after that. There's Jay O'Brien, but he's been a MAJOR disappointment at Providence College. I suppose that they'll move Tanner Laczynski to the wing, but something tells me the Flyers might just use him as a package in a trade. With the position that the Flyers are in with regards to the draft, Arthur Kaliyev from Hamilton of the OHL might just be the guy they should select. Not only is he a need, but he's also the best available talent in that slot. And don't forget that center is also loaded with Frost, Rubtsov and Patrick. Honestly, I've never seen forward depth like this before at the prospect pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good player but skating isn't his best asset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
