Am I crazy or would anyone else just roll out of camp next year with Provy, Hagg, Ghost, Myers, Sanheim, and Morin? I understand the value of veteran presence, etc. but I'd rather see these young guys make the mistakes that Gudas, AMac, and Manning were prone to last year. AMac did have a nice year overall. I think we need to get moving on these guys getting NHL experience. The other part of my thinking is to get these guys the experience prior to Carter Hart making his debut (2019-2020). Too much, too soon? Of course, there is a chance Hart could see action in 18-19 but I would be fine with his entire season being with the Phantoms.

I dont see any coach anywhere in the league going with that many dmen with 3 years or less experience and 2 rookies. It;'s nice to think about though and would love to see Hak do it!

You're telling me an 18 year old , full of energy, can't play about 10 minutes a game ? Frost should be playing some amount of minutes !

The Phantoms are stacked up front if Varone is healthy. I don't know if Frost would be more effective getting 10 minutes on the 4th line than the bigger, older guys who have been doing pretty well so far this postseason.

Yup. The Phantoms love putting 19 and 20 year olds in the playoff lineup straight out of Junior.

I wanted him at 7 over Provorov and Barzal. I thought he could leapfrog McDavid.

He's got time still, don't worry, amigo. He may not have Auston Matthew's talent, but he has his nose, and that has got to mean something.

You're not reading it correct.

"I think he could leapfrog McDavid" =/= "I think he will leapfrog McDavid"

Nevertheless, I'm usually with Mono on things because he is one of my B O I S but I don't think in anyone's wildest dreams anyone will outplay McDavid

This is the first sentence I’ve read of yours in months, and I have to say: you really delivered.

Also, didn’t you say you watched these Japanese movies with your girlfriend? Can’t found a relationship on lack of trust, friendo.
