Bill MeltzerKeymasterForgot to mention Snowden. He has a legit shot to be the next Phantoms HC.
It won’t be Sam Morin.

Bill MeltzerKeymasterYes, 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).
Bill MeltzerKeymasterSame agent in Russia or same NHl agent? Most European players have two agents: one who represents them in the NHL, one at home.

Bill MeltzerKeymasterThey 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.

Bill MeltzerKeymasterNothing health-related with Lappy.
He had no HC experience before taking the Phantoms job.

Bill MeltzerKeymasterI don’t think that Lappy is going to be one of the assistant coaches.
Bill MeltzerKeymasterThey aren’t think playoffs or bust in 2o25-26. They hope to get a little better next year and a lot better in 2026-27. Will it work? It’s fair to say believe it when you see it. This is now an 11-year-process, and counting. Three different GMS, various coaches, but still, one long cycle with only one playoff series win and a lot of playoff misses. It’s fair to be skeptical until you see results.
Bill MeltzerKeymasterI would be shocked if Martone drops out of the top five (I think he goes third). I don’t expect Frondell to go in the top three. O’Brien rose with a bullet in the second half. I wouldn’t mind that pick forPhilly if this scenario actually played out. However, if you’re drafting BA prospect and not taking a center no matter what, that would be Martone in this mock.
Also, I don’t think Ryabkin falls to 40.
Bill MeltzerKeymasterI’m not taking McQueen at 6th. The back injury scares me. And he’s kind of a project anyway.
