    Forgot to mention Snowden. He has a legit shot to be the next Phantoms HC.

    It won’t be Sam Morin.

    Would have no issue with McKee. In fact that is how I would lean, if not him get a fresh voice in the orginization. Maybe, God forbid, you groom said person to be the next head coach of the flyers. This is spot where they have the ability to pay an AHL coach well to get his services. He has had some success at the junior level.

    What’s the deal with Smith. Seems to have done a good job with the defense at the AHL level. Honestly don’t know much about his coaching style or what he is about.

    Yes, Gator has a shot. I wouldn’t be shocked if Jay McKee is offered that job (assuming Luke Richardson, as much rumored, gets the Flyers AC job).

    They did the aligned systems previously. Tortorella was against it, believing a coach should have totally freedom to implement his own systems. It doesn’t really seem to make a big difference, one way or the other. Most players adapt.

    I think it does make a difference. Makes the process easier and simplified.

    Bill any rumors on who they are looking at for the LHV coaching job? Does Jason Smith have a shot? Will they keep him?

    Bill, do you think the Flyers are going to be looking at a more integrated environment where both the Phantoms and Flyers play basically the same systems. So call ups can fit as seamlessly as possible in to the lineup when the time comes. Or does that even matter?

    Nothing health-related with Lappy.

    He had no HC experience before taking the Phantoms job.

    Canada loses to Denmark 2-1. Out in the quarters. Sanheim scored the lone Canada goal.

    Is Patrick Thoreson coaching anywhere? He took one in the nuts for the team so that’s gotta be worth something
