Colin McDonald given contract extension




Strange timing to re-sign an AHL player.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Now we know why he hasn't made any trades. He's focused on extending McDonald.

Hextall's trollin' everybody, ****'d around & signed an AHL player for multiple years in the middle of the season.

Good call on the contract extension tonight.

 

[Striiker]

Umm... Ok I guess?

Yeah not who I was expecting though.

I wonder if this a precursor to a potential White trade possibly? Other wise it's random as hell & doesn't really make much sense.

Phantoms usually get multi year deals ?

Aren't they currently playing too?

lol

 

[Hiesenberg]

Yea...must've been able to close the deal during intermission.

 

[Karma]

So that's why we haven't acquired Drouin yet.

I think Conner is the only vet with one.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Could just be the Flyers wanting some stability in LHV. He is the captain of the team. He's only 31 though, so it is a little odd he would give up the option of free agency.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Could just be a guy that knows his limits and being offered some security.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

finally see "confirmed with link" and its... colin mcdonald? dang.

I'll take it. I like Colin McDonald on the Phantoms

 

[Rebels57]

Love this. Future Phantoms like Sanheim, Fazleev, Lindblom and AK will have his leadership to lean on.

Yep, having him and Conner around who have: been AHL All-star level players, played meaningful NHL time, NHL playoff games under their belts and a World Champs silver in MacDonalds case, who can still hold their own in the NHL if required to is very nice.

Hextall has talked for a while about believing the Phantoms should be good to and have a great culture in place... and those guys should do just that.

 

[FLYguy3911]

...until he gets claimed on waivers

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I thought this said Connor McDavid and got real excited.

McDonald probably sees the big picture. He knows he's a career AHLer and and besides possible NHL time, facilities are at the top of the list for what's important. And I don't think anyone has it better than LV. I'm sure Hextall probably told him about all the young talent that is gonna be coming though for him to lead and play with.

 

[GKJ]

I'm sure McDonald knows that he's always going to be among the first call-ups as well.

 

[kolankosf]

Things are happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great opportunity if you want to go into coaching, settle in with a top organization, play with the prospects for a couple years, put together a nest egg, then become a position coach in the AHL before moving up to the big team.
