Bill Meltzer: Quick Hits: Southern Trip, 20 Games in, Phantoms, Flyers Warriors and More

All in all a solid start to a new system. Before depth becomes a focal point, the cash cows leading this team need to show up on the scoresheet.

There is a foundation built. Now they just need to paint and furnish.

Bill, is the news true Morgan Frost has been confirmed to be called up today?

Frost just got recalled????

Frost recalled. Think Giroux moves back to LW now?

Lindblom - Coots - Konecny
Giroux - Hayes - Voracek
JVR - Frost - Farabee
Andreoff - Raffl - Pitlick

Not sure they would put Frost and Farabee on the same line. But I’m excited to see what they do, they have to find a way to get JVR/Hayes and Jake going. Had they been producing the way they normally do, we may have a few more wins.

Frost up

Interesting that frost seemingly figuring his game out (right?) coincides with the phantoms roughest patch in the season.

Interesting move to say the least

Reports I've read seem to indicate that Frost is not ready for a call up. Does that factor in at all?

They either don't matter or you read the wrong "reports".

On paper all four of those lines have the possibility of being really good for their expected roles which are a bit blurred right now.

Maybe Giroux, Voracek need to be healthy scratches for a game!

If it is true about Frost, that's a start to get G back to wing where he should start playing up to par.

As for Voracek and Hayes, who the heck knows? Wish they had answers.

RIP Bill Lyon.

Yikes what is going on in Calgary, been shut out in 2 straight

Hayes is a guy that will need strong linemates to succeed. He isnt going to be successful offensively playing with a guy like Twarynski. I think there are things in his game he has to clean up as well. Not sure it is related or not but he is holding onto the puck too long, trying to do everything himself and it just leads to an offensive zone turnover.

Seems like a guy who tries to "Be the hero"

Cory Schneider on waivers. wow

Dave Isaac literally just put out a piece titled "Morgan Frost isn't NHL ready yet". A day later, Frost gets called up. He's gotta be feeling silly.

3 years left at $6mil per. No way he gets claimed? Right?

For a guy not ready for the NHL....apparently Fletch didn't get the memo.

Might be short term....but why not?

Here's hoping he gets good linemates and a decent amount of ice time.

It’ll be interesting to see where he slots in the lineup
