Recalled/Assigned: Laughton returned to Phantoms

[Jtown]

I wonder if folks were saying the same thing about Hartnell after 247 career NHL games. first 4 seasons of his career Hartnell had 46 G 78 A
Maybe one day Schenn will be as good as the great Scott Hartnell.

you do know hartnell entered the league as an 18 year old, playing on a real bad team and still outperformed him with inferior talent around him at age 22 and 23.

Schenn is no where near as good as hartnell at the same age. DO you think hartnell got first unit pp time with a top 5 pp unit?

. it was a jab at your hatred for Schenn. I likely knew who Hartnell was before you did.

should i like schenn? i don't hate him, but i have no reason to like him.

I don't hate Schenn but I also feel he is too young to give up on. Yes he is a very frustrating player I will give anyone that. But I am not ready to give up on him.do you like anyone on this team outside of Giroux, Jake and Mason?

expected Couturier to be on that list.

why?

also forgot luke schenn.

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

Schenn with White and Umberger? I see no fit there at all. Schenn isn't very good defensively and the other two are not doing much offensively...
Schenn needs a playmaker.

Idk, maybe Schenn will play better as the playmaker than the trigger man

No love for Wayne Train?

@BobRotruck: Terry Murray: "I'm giving Leier a present for his birthday today...I'm putting him on a line with Laughton." Haha.

... and it worked just 7 minutes in. Goal from Leier, assisted by Laughton.

Maybe, but he would really need a solid goalscorer, because he's not the kind of player who makes others around him better.

**** yeah .

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

**** yeah .

Make it 2 assists for Laughton, Phantoms up 3-1.

I thought the same thing.. I like his attitude, heart, and drive simmer has every game. Huge PP player to have. I feel a lot of teams would like to grab this guy.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

How far away is Leier? I've heard great things about his chemistry with Laughton.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Leier and Laughton had legit chemistry together in the beginning of the season. Nice potential duo in 2 years

One more year, or maybe call up next year

 

[Striiker]

Leier-Laughton-Lindblom future line?

 

[Appleyard]

Leier-Laughton-Lindblom future line?

The Mud line.

A lot of grit in it.
Down to earth.
No-one wants to try and wade through it.
It grounds 'electric' players.

That would be a great 3rd line if they all turn out like we hope. All of them are good defensively and I could see them being a real pain for defenses when in the offensive zone. Especially if Lindblom can find a way to get a bit quicker.

I don't understand how some of you guys don't understand this is actually a very smart move.

Regardless of his small NHL sample size, Laughton does have the "veterancy" of NHL experience compared to most guys on the Phantoms.

See if Laughton can lead the team to the playoffs, and deep into the playoffs. Let him gain that experience and confidence. I'm not arguing him to be our future C or for him to be an all-star when on the Flyers, but this is a great developmental move by the team managers and gives the potential for our young guns to develop together.

The guys who will be playing together on the Phantoms are our future (minus Ghost). Let them gain that chemistry and experience playing in the playoffs in the AHL and hope it transcends to some degree once these guys make it to the Flyers starting line-up.

Simple logic.

I stopped reading after the first page where all the negative comments reside. Reading all of that utter stupidity made me stop reading subsequent posts.

Forgive me for my transgressions. My previous post has been proven null and void.
