Prospect Info: Phantoms (AHL), Reading Royals (ECHL), NCAA, Jrs., Int'l, etc.

[MacDonald4MVP]

I fully expect AMac to be on the team...and Myers in the AHL.

Alternative is literally watching Provy dying out there in last 5 minutes of a game, while ghost, sanheim and myers are all benched.

BSH is doing it's top 25 under 25 and have been for a week or two now , down to 14 today , some good write ups on the prospect interesting read so far .

 

[MichaelRaffl]

I feel like Amorosa has been around forever. Honestly has he been good enough for even an AHL contact ?

Good write ups for those who don't have much knowledge on them, but boy some of those picks aren't the best.

Yea but it's from multiple people so it's interesting to see where each one has them . Different strokes for different folks . Picks are a little off so far but not a disaster

I was referring more so to individual picks. Pretty sure I remember seeing a couple people put Leier above O'Brien.

Most aren’t well-informed opinions in that BSH poll or use questionable methodology, especially concerning “closeness” bias since that gets the name recognition going in the brain. This isn’t new; the BSH rankings continually look terrible year after year. Here we have differing opinions among knowledgeable people, though we only rank prospects (which makes eons more sense). Meanwhile, they give too many unknowledgable people — who don’t even watch or apparently stay informed — legitimacy because of personal reasons. We used to roll our eyes and laugh here, but we gave up and don’t even talk about them anymore.

I just looked at one for shits and giggles: multiple people don’t think JOB is a top 25 under 25 player? Par for the course. But hey.....it’s why I post here.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Would you rather read BSH 25 under 25 or the Dave Hakstol thread on here?

Outside of the rankings i actually have enjoyed the articles written . The Haxtall and Hagg threads give me a headache

Just got fired by Trump and released a book. Unlikely to ever play with the Flyers or Phantoms.

I learned fairly quickly to back out of that one.

Not really. Some of the BSH staff clearly do not watch or even follow the players. Certain voters make indefensible picks year after year. It's misleading to the readers.

 

[Striiker]

Never bother reading anything at BSH.

Partly because they seem to use advanced stats the way anti-stat people think pro-stat people use advanced stats.

 

[Magua]

Brad Keffer does good manual tracking work to get Phantoms stats. I check in once in a while on that front. Rarely otherwise since Charlie O'Connor has moved to the Athletic.

Oh i hear ya , they are about 50\50 on knowledgeable and brain dead , people wise.

 

[Appleyard]

He is probably capable of playing a specific role in the AHL... he has offensive skills and is good on a PP, plus is not a liability defensively anymore.

But I dont think he has an NHL future. I mean, considering right now that the Flyers+Phantoms have only 14 healthy Dmen going into the season it would not be crazy to sign him to an AHL deal.

But I guess if they want another AHL Dman they can get a better, more proven one quite easily.

 

[deadhead]

They're also getting close to the 50 contract limit, so they may not want to give those out unless the player is a real prospect.
And why would Amorosa sign an AHL contract until he's explored the alternatives?

We don't need no stinking Suter, we have Carle!!!!

Came here for this.

Exactly, not good enough a prospect for an ELC. I guess and AHL-ECHL deal is not out of the question, if he likes the org.

Farabee, Hart, Lindblom, Vorobyev, JOB, Ratcliffe, Rubtsov, Cates, Strome
Lycksell, Kalynuk, Morin, Sandstrom, Laczynski, Ginning
Ustimenko, Laberge, Stolarz, Allison, NAK, Martel

And... Pronman gives us 12th.
