They sign here because we have shitty prospects and as such their competition is weaker.
Also there clearly was some sort of relationship here as this kid was a Hextall pick.
Marino? DOC got a shot almost right away too
edit: forgot Marino was drafted, but unheralded late rounder is still a perfectly good comparable
DeSmith was recent enough too.

ZAR, Sheary, Lovejoy, Rowney, Letestu, you can even go back to Thiessen and Tim Wallace.
6’3” righty with a cool name.
I agree with this.
However, beyond that, can anyone give us a good reason for why we should care? I'm assuming he's just going to be the next Maniscalco and disappoint....
And yet, on the verge of the start of our prospect poll rankings, this dude is probably in the top 5

I think it doesn’t have as much to do with college FAs being given opportunities in the past or prospect or NHL depth or anything. I think we probably just have nice geography (WB/S and Pitt) and open contract spaces. Philly is somehow at 46 NHL contracts with 3 RFAs left to sign, they had no room for him. We have plenty of space and probably offered him as much as anyone contract-wise.

He’s a guy that caught my eye last year. Was putting up some big numbers but seemed to cool off towards the end of the season.
I predict he tops out somewhere between John Marino and Josh Maniscalco.

Prospect Info: - Phantoms (AHL), Reading Royals (ECHL), NCAA, Jrs., Int'l, etc. [Winter 2021 edition]
Some don't consider him a prospect anymore but it is still unconceivable how they prioritize playing the likes of O'Reilly, Mayhew, Wilson, et al over him. The latter players will never amount to anything, and they are certainly not helping the Phantoms win any games Unconceivable isn't a...

Can't wait for next year when the I get to hear how Sullivan/Hex are holding him back from coming up and tearing up the league 
Next year? It's already happening this year, because he's not going to be on the opening night roster even though he deserves it, because Sully is @#$%^&*()(&^% #$%^&*(*&^%$# !!!!!!

Maybe Sleepy signed him just to piss off the Flyers.....and that's cool with me.
