(I was also wrong about Wyatt Kalynuk, who I never thought would pass on the Flyers). Tanner Laczynski is a solid 200 foot player and he is great at using angles to get to where he needs to be on the ice. Great penalty killer too and I believe his face off skills will be outstanding, especially in the defensive end, where he excels. Laczynski is great along the boards too and is a physical player who can grind it out in tight games. He may lack a little speed, but he makes up for that with smart play and always being on the right side of the puck.

I can see Tanner Laczynski spending a season in Allentown with the Phantoms and maybe even getting a few games with the Flyers on the checking line in year one. He certainly won’t lack what it takes to be a shut down player and that’s ok. Sean Couturier started out that way and was a very similar player when he started. Laczynski is no flashy, he doesn’t make highlight reel plays, but when the game is over, he will leave his mark in the final score. Gregg Lorenz, Morrisville Pa
