Seems like we should be adding a goalie or two sprinkled in there like Ustimenkov and Errsson. I guess Rubstov and O’Brian could end up a total flops. Rubstov had bad luck with injuries and is playing in Russia, will he be coming back to the Phantoms this season? O’Brien has high end skill and also had injury problems, I hope he can develop. It’s too bad Wyatt Kalynuk didn’t sign with us, he went to Chicago for a better shot at playing. Funny thing is with Niskanen retiring and the poor play of Braun, Gus and Haag, Kalynuk was probably the first guy we would have called up.

Yeah not sure how much of an upgrade he would be the knock on him as well is he has a lot to be desired when it comes to playing defense in his own end. Right now in my mind their best option is to get Friedman going and playing. Kid is a smooth skater with some good offensive tools in the toolbox. I would love to see him take Braun's spot on the 3rd pair. But for some reason the staff thinks he has some work to do...I just don't know why he can work on that while playing especially over a Hagg, Guss or Braun whom we pretty know what they are. Friedman we still don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After some of the decisions that Vigneault made during the playoffs and so far this year, it bears some merit. It's ridiculous that Friedman, statistically, has played better than Braun, Hagg and Gustafsson, yet he's been continually scratched because 'grrrrr......grizzled veteran leadership' or some garbage like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not. He's coming into his own and his offensive side will only get stronger. York is Ghosts replacement. Writing is on the wall.

I want to root for the guy, but I see too much of Braydon Coburn in his game. There's indecisiveness, followed up by period where he looks like he's made the jump and he's going to be a dominant defender, only to watch him slide back and be mired in mediocrity. I'm worried about the affect the coaching staff is having on his game because Sanheim looks like he's regressing something fierce under their watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of road ahead for him before I say he's a bust. I don't know if his ability warranted where he was picked but I like the kid's grit. They definitely took a Flier on that kid, and so far it hasn't looked super promising. As for Rubstov, he's been hurt so much, it's kind of a shame. I thought he was coming back to play for the Phantoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why he went the route he went when he went to a lesser school to play with this allowed him to at least play as it counted as sitting out a year so he could maintain his years of eligibility without losing a year. This was smart many got pissed and only looked at as why is he basically going down to play vs lesser talent. It was the only he could actually play and it count as sitting out. So he could play another year or two of college before he is ready to sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back on the 2018 draft, Farabee is outscoring pretty well anyone not taken top 4 (and Quinn Hughes taken 7th) while providing a good all around game. There aren't any players at this point taken after who have leaped ahead of O'Brien as far as their NHL careers go, so really as long as he keeps developing... Ginning was such a non- Hextall type pick I'm still scratching my head there. Wylie has been coming along quite well. Ersson too! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes seems like a reach at the time. He is 21 and isn't under contract beyond this year in the SHL I think it is time to bring him over and guage where he is at. Regardless it is time to transition to the smaller ice. Ersson needs to join him too. Not sure where Sandstrom stands in all of this but it might be that Errsson passes him soon if he hasn't already. Maybe they send Sandstrom to the KHL I heard that is a place to develop world class goalie talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at some of the players taken after him and I really wonder wtf Hextall was thinking. Akil Thomas, Calen Addison, Benoit-Olivier Groulx, and Gabriel Fortier are some of the players the Flyers could have selected. Instead, those chose a 6'4 bag of crap with limited mobility and no puck skills. That was such a waste of a pick. I don't even know if the Flyers would get a compensatory pick if they don't sign him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 4 that I think have the best shot at filtering in within the next 1-3 years. Foerester and Ratcliffe's shooting/scoring abilities are much needed. York will help on the back end. Brink should bring some gritty-ness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Guess we can add Laczynski back to the list now after missing camp to start the year with an injury. And just can't catch a break...Laberge at this point is an after thought. Edited February 11, 2021 by OccamsRazor Someone lift the Philly curse please...

I feel for the guy cause he had some skill and injuries just totally derailed him.

David Kase scored the OT winner to go along with two assists. Big day for Zayde Wisdom (2G, 1A). Linus Hogberg picked up an assist. Also of note: Wyatte Wylie had 8 shots on goal, while Mason Millman made his pro debut and finished as a +4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post flyercanuck Posted February 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2021 Just got to give a little love to Flyers 4th round selection Zayde Wisdom who might be my favorite Fletcher draft pick to date. When he signed his entry level contract, he didn't go out and buy an exotic car, or a giant gold clock necklace, he donated money to the Salvation Army, who had helped feed him and his family while he was growing up poor. The OHL hasn't started up yet due to covid, so Wisdom made his way onto the Phantoms roster...as an 18 year old. So how's he doing? Look up....waaaaaay up, at the top of the scoring. That's Zayde Wisdom, 18 year old 4th rounder, leading the Phantoms in scoring. It may not last, but it won't be because of his effort. And he deserves the praise. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already has that super star name now his plays matches. Pretty impressive for 18 year old to be tied for 4th in the AHL in goals. He doesn't turn 19 till July. Going to be hard to send him back to juniors next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
