Post-Game Talk: Wed, Sept. 28 |NJD 0 vs PHI 2| Preseason| MARK ALT's injury update

[FLYguy3911]

How worried at we about Alt's future with the club?

Not to sound harsh, but he didn't have much of a future with the big club and every set back makes the odds even longer.

 

[Curufinwe]

I'm worried that his injury makes it harder for the Phantoms to win games in October. His future with the Flyers is something to worry about in June.

 

[Curufinwe]

I don't think LV takes Mac or Manning, it's more likely they take a forward. Our exposed forwards will be better than our exposed dmen

I agree. Vegas will be able to choose from two of these forwards.

Weise - 3 years left at $2.35m
Raffl - 2 years left at $2.235m
Cousins (RFA)
Laughton (RFA)

Or from these guys.

Streit (UFA)
MacDonald - 3 years left at $5m
Schultz (UFA)
Manning - 1 year left at $975K

Watched the game, focused on Morin.

He could probably play now, but of the young defensemen, he's the least impressive, huge, smooth skater but not explosive, not real confident with the puck.

He's going to be a good defensive defenseman, but I don't see him offensively being more than Gudas is right now, safe passes out of the zone and shots from the point.

The thing is, Myers who is two years younger, "jumped" out more than Morin did. It's less that Morin disappoints than Myers surprises.

 

[Striiker]

Confident enough to make some crazy stretch passes.

 

[Curufinwe]

I think Morin making an accurate stretch pass from behind his own net to the far blue line shows a lot of confidence with the puck.

Dammit, Striiker.

Each passing day I am more and more genuinely surprised how good our D picks seem to have been (so far). I will admit I have not followed Myers much in his draft+1 year, but I certainly would not have expected him to grow where he is now.
I keep fingers crossed for our D prospects because they are giving me reasons to be optimistic

[David St Hubbins]

Morin playing a patient, low risk game to start is just about ideal for his role. I suspect he will continue to develop years after getting into the league.

 

[deadhead]

Nothing wrong with being a bigger, smoother version of Gudas - check his relative Corsi and you realize that while Gudas may not be pretty, he's actually pretty effective.

Problem for Morin is offensively he's just not in the same league with Ghost, Provorov, Sanheim and Myers. Guess we'll just have to live with that.

 

[Striiker]

That's not a slight on Morin at all. Very few have the offense that our other prospects have. He's not going to score like Ghost, but a more offensive and meaner Coburn would be a valuable player to have.

 

[Lotusflower]

I still think Morin has A LOT more to show us as the years progress but if I had to choose I'd rather him be prime Coburn as opposed to Tyler Myers....

Don't forget, Myers wasn't even drafted!

1st world problems.

 

[Curufinwe]

I don't think any of our younger D prospects will score like Ghost has in their first few years. Not with him hogging the lone dman role on the top PP unit.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Sanheim is the closest player that could duplicate what Ghost did simply because that kid is ridiculous offensively.

If people think Provorov is going to do what Ghost did, they aren't paying attention, he's not that type of player. But I do think over time Provorov could be a 40-50 pt player because he is a super smart player.

 

[GKJ]

Fighting isn't the way to make the team, folks.

 

[kudymen]

Don't forget, Myers wasn't even drafted!

Oh **** me. Meant year after signing. Let me show myself out... Ugh

 

[Rebels57]

Oh **** me. Meant year after signing. Let me show myself out... Ugh

Lol, don't beat yourself up over it.

 

[Curufinwe]

Possible D lineup for Saturday.

MDZ-Ghost
Morin-Sanheim
Provorov-Myers

Looks like I was one off, with MacDonald playing tonight instead of Morin.

That's one way to keep the excitement levels down.

 

[Rebels57]

That's one way to keep the excitement levels down.

Hopefully hes not paired with Provy.
