Bill Meltzer: Quick Hits: End-of-Season, Phantoms, Rizzo

Will Briere ever make a definitive statement about Risto's health or will it remain a mystery into next season?

The contract extension for the Phantoms coach will get a lot of debate here. 🫣

In general, it promises to be a very long beating the dead horse off season.

I’m a no on an extension.

I would say our own Power Play coach is the bigger concern. Though the Phantoms underperformed so far this year, the call ups overall seemed to be ready and prepared for the next level which is one of his main jobs. The Phantons record could have been much better with competent goaltending, it seemed like no one could get hot and roll with it for even a few games in a row.

The debt owed to Ian has to be one that expires.
In his defense, he has rarely had a team of GOOD players.
Just like the parent club.
So he muddled along, developing what he had into semblances of NHL level players, and not getting too embarrassed.
So here's a pro's POV a couple months ago.

nice

I’m changing my tune a little bit and could see them moving Frost and Farabee…maybe Laughton.

Sign TK, sign a FA center and D

Buyout Cal. 50/50 on buying out Cam.

And then we pray for a Risto trade.
