Hope not for his sake. Next season will be even worse.

Tanner gets injured putting his pants on.

The Phantoms are nearly dead last in their Conference.

The entire organization is trash.

Great post

So I guess Connor McClennon isn’t getting an ELC? Not that I think he’s some NHL lock or anything but it’s not like they’re chalk full with options in their minor league system & they’ve certainly signed way worse over the years.

They only have a single contract slot to work with going into a trade deadline where Fletcher may be making feeble attempts at selling. Thanks to his urge to grab all the waiver shit.

Dumb.

When they took him, would they not be happy with how he has progressed? Would they really expect more?

They can sign him to a 2022-23 contract when they'll have plenty of slots open, and let him play for the Phantoms under an OTA.

It would count for next year. They got 26 contracts signed on for next year as of now. Sushko, Strome, & Rubtsov are all RFA’s. I’d imagine it’s time to walk away from all three. You then have J. Cates, Sandin, & Ratcliffe as RFA’s too.

Avon & Tuomaala could slide. Then you’re adding as of now Foerster, Wisdom, Desnoyers, & Lycksell. You still have Brink & N. Cates to add.

BU and BC guys are signing pro contracts. I'm not expecting any signings for the Flyers but should hear something soon.

McClennon would have to be one of the best players to go unsigned so I would be surprised if a team short on picks and selections in recent years would outright pass on him. Plus he has a connection to Greig and checks the goal scoring box Fletcher always talks about.

Wisdom also has 20 points in 28 games this year in the OHL.

 

[macleish1974]

If you pick up a waivered player can you not waiver him during the same season? Curiously curious.....

Yes, you an waive them

It would be f***ing stupid if they did not give him one.

Longshot ofc, but one of the handful of guys in the pool who if things went very well could actually be maybe a 2nd liner.

Even if you plan for the bias I can't get my hopes up right now. Ben Myers is a Minnesota guy and I don't even think they will sign him

That's inzayde

Has anybody on here seen Wisdom play a couple times this year ?

Flyers do something right...send Tyson Foerster to Barrie Colts to go through a playoff run instead of whatever the hell they're doing in Lehigh Valley.

Really hope Tyson runs with the opportunity and lights the OHL on fire.

Was he injured this season? I notice he's only played 9 games for the Phantoms

 

[macleish1974]

As noted above Tyson sent back to Barrie and since Ryan Fitzgerald has a NHL contract has to go through waivers. Phantoms could use a shooter or two.

Phantoms are winning after 2 periods 3-1. Johnson, Zamula, and Lacyzinski the goals but what is more interesting Sandstrom has robbed Springfield shooters with a couple of incredible saves.

Allison is playing a solid game; has a shot or two, but really it is Tanner's and Sandstrom's show tonight so far. BTW, Springfield is either first or second in the conference, so Phantoms are hanging with the big boys.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Sandstrom should be backing up Hart for the rest of the season.

It's time to see what he's got in the NHL

 

[macleish1974]

Sandstrom with 32-33 saves. Outstanding. Zamula No.1 star for I guess the winning goal, though I thought Sandstrom was No.1 star for the evening.

The Phantoms play Springfield again tomorrow. Phantoms are not back home until April.

The Flyers I guess tonight really sucked. 6-4 and an empty net goal........they are the clowns of the NHL. Glad I did not watch.

Ya, he's been injured all season. I was hoping he'd start this year with the Colts, they have a good team and he'd make them even better. He's just turned 20 so he has plenty of time...

 

[CanuckistanFlyerfan]

I've only seen him once. It's taken that line awhile to get anywhere near where they were but seem to be getting there. He looked pretty good against Ottawa.

He needs at least 4 more years in the O, then 6 in the AHL before he's ready for the Flyers

 

[CanuckistanFlyerfan]

He'll probably get traded for Haysees uncle in year 4 of the AHL though.

“He was undrafted for a reason.”

There are, at this point, thousands(?) of NHL draft picks who were not good enough to be drafted but were anyways.

Main point: Zamula is a good hockey player. An NHL talent? Yep. I’d be shocked if he doesn’t end up becoming a positive possession player, proficient at entry denials, and strong on the breakout. All 3 skills are VITAL in today’s NHL for defenseman to be net-positive contributors. Dude could stand to gain some good weight. That’s basically the only “obstacle” at this point. Otherwise, he’s been progressing very nicely. As he has done since he was signed.

He's only 21. That's young for a D-man who's not an elite prospect. Most D-men outside the 1st round don't start until they're 22-24 years old.
And he missed a full year of PT the previous two seasons.
So I'd say he's doing just fine.
