I hope not. Exposing a talented young player with no NHL experience to this mess would do nothing for his game.
Playing with the PHantoms , big minutes in all game situations (ES, PP and PK) is the right way to develop a player, esp a defenseman.
He's very young, plenty of time ahead for him when he's ready, after giving his game the growth it needs in the AHL.
I'm surprised you're not in here saying that he will be completely outclassed. 5'11"/174 lbs? Sounds like he will be man handled in no time.
You obviously haven't seen his beefcake pictures!
Kid is ripped, I suspect he's somewhere north of 190 lbs at this point.

When he doens't play like Pronger in his debut, Flyers fans will want his head and place him on waivers...
He'll be back, he's all of 21.
54 college games, 49 AHL games, 30 NHL games. Over 3+ seasons.
Not even just risto, he should be in for seeler.He should be up right now. He's better than Risto.
You told me over and over and over that Tortorella would bench anyone to play the best players. That he doesn't favor veterans and wants young players. That contract doesn't matter. That him not being the GM doesn't matter because he's secretly running the team.
So why were you so wrong?
What if they put him in for both and went with 5D?Not even just risto, he should be in for seeler.

York isn't competing with Risto, he's a LHD who doesn't like to play on the right side.
Attard is the guy who could push Risto to the third pair, and if he continues to play well in LHV, may do so by January.
York right now is competing with Zamula, if they use either one at RHD, it'll be on the third pair to start.
Seeler isn't blocking York, York is blocking York.
York had the job going into camp, then proceeded to lose it.
Nor has he stood out so far in LHV.
Seeler has been as advertised, a solid #6/#7, now that he no longer has to drag an anchor (Yandle) around the rink.
down. Also down for 10f with no deslaurier and macewanWhat if they put him in for both and went with 5D?
