well Hextall did mention yesterday that he expects some D prospects to start filling up the roster next season. So he's stacking on AHL dman (which could start in the ECHL) to fill up those holes.


i doubt this guy plays in the echl he was in the whl and khl and those are both > echl

i assume hes talking about manning then?problem is we already got 8 guys
streit medvedev shultz gudas manning delz schenn macdonald

uness they plan on scratching schenn+macdonald and rocking manning or gudas as a 5th/6th d man theres simply no room
gudas sounds half decent i didnt see him much manning looked good in his taste and it got him a 1 way contract dont really see them being healthy scratches

or has a trade in the works? personally the delzotto signing kinda set flyers D unless a trade happens 8 guys on 1 way thats 7th+8th d man for injury replacements even

I think he is talking about Provorov and Goestibehere honestly. Those 2 are the closest to ready atm.

Provorov has a shot right off the bat. Moring and ghost will be in the AHL and defintely will be called up once an injury happens. I dont think Morin nor Ghost will make NHL team right away since they can play in the AHL. But Provorov might do so. At least he is motivated too

oh true provorov too ...damn
id prefer morin over ghost tbh hes great offensively but defensively he can be pretty wild and vs nhl players idk if that shit will fly
morin is a big strong solid guy that can play vs nhlers hes good defensively and his offense is getting better

last season in the preseason he was paired with coburn and he fit right in playing big mins on the top pairing
yes its preseason but they played some teams with near full rosters
and now hes had a half season of developing in the qmjhl where they won the championship went to memorial cup and won gold with canada WJC

Well, I think Morin needs a little bit more work defensively which is why I think they won't pull him up right away, but Ghost is a guy that they might call up for his offensive abilities. We know that his defense is a bit lacking, but he is good at puck control and could help a PP unit right away.

I think Ghost will be a midseason callup and Prov will be the first injury callup

Morin takes too many penalties right now and I think they will want him working on drawing that line between a good play and a penalty before bringing him up

morin doesnt really need work on his defense imo hes our best prospect defensively ... maybe not over provorov idk yet :P
i dont think we need a guy like ghost for offense we have streit and delzotto who can carry the load for offense on the back end

They cant call up provorov. Either 9games + juniors or full time NHL

Morin and ghost are AHL bound so they are gonna be called up

yeah and they signed him hella fast that could be just cuz hextall but flyers never sign drafted players that fast
morin could be bad at penalties but hes also good at pk which we need with how bad it was last season

besides we went from the most pims in the nhl to like middle of the pack and we traded rinaldo this offseason
we can take the extra pims ^^
