Philadelphia Flyers News: Phantoms lock up key roster spots – Broad Street Hockey

The Philadelphia Flyers’ AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, have been making moves to solidify their roster ahead of the upcoming season. In a series of transactions, the Phantoms have locked up several key spots, providing a boost to their chances of success in the AHL.

One of the most significant developments was the signing of defenseman Tyler Woolley to a one-year contract extension. Woolley, a 27-year-old blueliner, has been a steady presence on the Phantoms’ backline, accumulating 17 points in 54 games last season. His experience and leadership will be invaluable to the team as they navigate the competitive AHL landscape.

The Phantoms have also re-signed forward Calen Addison, who impressed in his first season with the team, notching 26 points in 51 games. The 23-year-old winger’s speed and skill will be crucial in the Phantoms’ quest for a playoff spot.

In addition to these signings, the Phantoms have added experienced goaltender Felix Sandström to their roster. Sandström, a 25-year-old Swedish netminder, brings a wealth of experience from his time in the SHL and will provide a solid backup option to Phantoms starter, Ivan Fedotov.

These moves demonstrate the Phantoms’ commitment to building a competitive roster and providing a strong foundation for the Flyers’ prospects to develop. As the AHL season approaches, Flyers fans can expect to see these players make a significant impact on the ice. With their key roster spots locked up, the Phantoms are poised for a successful campaign and a possible run at the Calder Cup.
