Myers have a legit shot at Flyers next year ?
If no concussions.. Yes, he looked just behind Provorov in preseason last year.

6 month of AHL is not such a bad idea, hopefully Gordon gone.I want to believe yes, but I think Hextall may lean towards the kids with the AHL experience, considering Myers contract has been sliding, his **** will jump start next year.
To play?

If he makes the Flyers Andy and Gudas would need to leave. Math would dictate he'll be a Phantom.

Tbf they could have 3 of the kids on the roster next year with no-one moved:
Provorov -- Gudas
Gostisbehere -- Myers
Morin -- Sanheim
MacDonald -- Manning
Doubt that would happen though... heavily. Two will make it to start season most likely.
I am secretly hoping against hope that with AMac playing 20+ mins a night this year some silly GM thinks he is a ~#4 Dman and would trade for him with ~35-40% retained!

Exactly. I've only got to see one of Allison's college games this year so far, but he's a real hockey player. Always on the puck and in the play. Skilled carrying the puck and passing it, deadly shooting in close and from far out, hits to hurt and backchecks like a demon. Love this player.
He stayed up the longest with Provorov last preseason and their then being injur d has been phenomenal. I think there will be a debate on who makes it between Myers, Sanhiem and Morin
I'd expect him to play at least 1 more season of College Hockey. As long as he keeps progressing, he should be ready to turn pro after that.Wow sounds phenomenal. When is he expected to join the phantoms and flyers?
If you are talking prospects, Morin was the last D cut. Although that probably had something to do with him being the veteran of the group. Sanheim and Myers got sent down the same day after the Boston game.
I don't think those 3 are all competing directly for a spot. They are going to compete for different roles. Morin if he makes it will be getting defensive minutes on the left side and PK minutes. Hagg will be competing for the same minutes as Morin but can take some shifts on the right side. Sanheim will be in the lineup to generate offense, help the 2nd PP, and take some shifts on the PK. Myers, similar to Sanheim, but without the flexibility of playing LD.
In the hypothetical scenario that Myers wasn't eligible to play in the AHL next year, I think you could make the case for him making the team out of camp. He's really talented and pretty mature physically. But there's really no downside to him starting the season in the AHL next year, especially considering all the games he has missed this season. It's a good league, he'll get challenged pretty good down there, and he can experience his growing pains away from the big stage. Much like Sanheim, he's going to need time to figure out what he can and can't get away with at the pro level.
They could add a defenseman before the expansion draft to blow this up, but I see something like this:
Provorov-MacDonald (3 more years!)
Sanheim-Gudas (Probably best to play Travis on his natural side)
Morin/Hagg-Ghost (I don't think Dave sees Ghost much more than a sheltered 3rd pair D 5v5 unfortunately. I would love to see him with Sanheim but I know that won't happen)
Manning
