I'm really worried about the forwards on the Phantoms that many 5'8" or less and 190 lbs or less guys are going to get worn down over the haul of an AHL season. At development camp they looked tiny during drills against all the defensive prospects who most are 6' and 200+.

Also was today sign the enforcer day? Maybe we see added bulk today

I can't believe they list Bardreau and Aube-Kubel at 5'10" they are not taller than Martel.

This isn't the 90s/00s anymore. Small players, nowadays more than ever, can succeed as long as they have skill. Of course you'd want bigger players all things equal, but I'm not too worried about it.

They'll get their skill plays but if when they got caught by Morin, Wilcox even Sanheim they got totally squashed a few games in a row of that could cause issues.

Mathers had trouble cracking the ECHL lineup last year. I don't think he'll be an AHL regular.
