Pointless asking about anything like the PP. You are just going to get a canned response.
I would ask the following
1. As the Phantoms look destined to miss the playoff again, while dressing one of the higher cap hit teams in the league, is anything going to be done to adress the coaching situation, which has looked evident to be the cause of the issues.
1b. If not, what are your thoughts on the phantoms implementing the same style and system as the flyers in order to prepare callups better?
2. Is it concerning that we have 2 highly touted goaltender prospects currently in the ECHL and not the AHL.
I can give you the likely answers:
1. The Phantoms struggles are largely due to injuries -- injuries on the Flyers, which have required more callups -- as well as injuries on the Phantoms themselves.
The Phantoms also have a lot of players with zero to minimal professional experience, so there are going to be ups and downs as they grow.
Scott Gordon is a good coach with over 500 professional coaching wins, an AHL coach of the year award, and a .595 AHL points percentage. Coaching isn't the reason the Phantoms has struggled this season. Injuries, callups, and young players needing to gain experience are.
1b. As was reported this summer, AV met with Gordon before the season to go over the systems the Flyers would be using so that there would be some similarity for callups. Obviously coaches need some leeway for tweaks -- different situations arise -- so nothing is going to be exact, but those meetings have already taken place and our coaching staffs continue to speak to each other frequently.
2. Concerning? I look at it as a positive reflection of the depth we're building between the pipes in the organization. You're talking two young kids playing their first season in North America. They have to get used to things like different angles on-ice, and off-ice things like different languages and cultures, which is a major adjustment. I think if you look back at a lot of European goalies who come over at age 20 or 21, you'll see that many spent some time in the ECHL at first and benefited.
