[Audible Velvet]

I'm curious and excited to see how Hogberg does.

 

[deadhead]

College guys could get in 17-18 games in if they leave school at the end of the college season.

So this could be a very interesting AHL season for the Flyers, I'm sure Fletcher would love to see some of his college prospects in the AHL to get a better read before the ED and then next summers trade/FA market.

Meanwhile he gets to see Millman, Foerster and Wisdom, while also seeing the progress of Kase, Sushko and Hogberg first hand, as well as Sandin (1 yr contract).

 

[Curufinwe]

Allison, Ratcliffe and Ustimenko still out injured.

CHL not playing will be vital for my interest in the team this year. I'll be going if they let fans in though. Would be ecstatic to get a look in person and rep the MillMen

If the 11 bolded are considered NHL Prospects with a possible/reasonable chance, that would be a record for the Phantoms in recent years - and that goes to 14 if/when Ratcliffe, Allison and Usti return, and then there's York.

Will make the Phantoms worth following. Of course, knowing Gordon, the AHL vets will play while the kids watch from the pressbox, but....

 

[FLYguy3911]

Yeah I have a feeling the CHL guys won’t get a full run. They wouldn’t even play guys like Sanheim, Myers, and Friedman full time when they joined the Phantoms.

 

[deadhead]

Foerster and Wisdom are full bodied guys, so playing in the AHL at 18 won't be a problem in that regard.
Millman is 19 so it's not as big of a jump.

No Hagg comments? C'mon hive!

Just once - once - I would like one of the idiot reporters to ask Chuck, Alain and Gordo: "What exactly are you so afraid of?"

 

[LeafChief]

Any idea of what the lines might look like when the Phantoms season gets started?

 

[renberg]

“You’re not a pro until you perform like a pro.”
Nice quote Gordo. Does that count for coaches as well?

 

[Stizzle]

Bobby, Cam, just come to Allentown.

 

[landsbergfan]

Bobby, Cam, just come to Allentown.

I wonder if Gordo’s rule about being a pro would hold up against the NCAA?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Any idea of what the lines might look like when the Phantoms season gets started?

I don't, but you can generally get a feel for them by looking at the ages of the players. The older they are, the more "ready" they will be considered to be, and the higher up they will play in the line-up. One must be ready to get into the top two or three lines on the Phantoms, and then one must either dominate (AKA "pwn") with the Phantoms, or turn 28 years of age, if one hopes to play for the Flyers, albeit briefly.

Sadly, this is only partially sarcastic.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I wonder if Gordo’s rule about being a pro would hold up against the NCAA?

I wonder if Alain's rule about being a f***ing Flyer would, too.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Any idea of what the lines might look like when the Phantoms season gets started?

Unless some wants to speculate, the media links in the opening post are among those suggested to follow as practices are held.

why do you care? You hate hockey

I don't care, but I am a former journalist. Call it professional curiosity.

[Tripod]

Not comfortable with Bunny as an option going forward.



Really though, the more guys who can play C the better.

Laughton replacement next year?
