All-Star Syvret a surprise for Phantoms

When looking at the Philadelphia Phantoms scoring list, a curious name is found near the top of the inventory.

The player who’s tied for the team lead in points – and who has been near the top of the scoring page all season – is not a forward, but instead a fourth-year defenseman who had never before had more than 20 points in an AHL season.

Tied with fellow AHL All-Star Jared Ross in the scoring category is Danny Syvret, who has six goals and 35 assists for 41 points on the season, more than any other defenseman in the AHL.

Although Syvret has had his best offensive start to a season so far, this Ontario native doesn’t believe that he has changed anything specific in his game. Instead, Syvret attributes his offensive presence to the new responsibility he has undertaken playing on a Phantoms team with a wealth of young talent.

Either the Flyers organization is better stacked offensively or they know how to handle players better than the Oilers or if Syvret is becoming what he was meant to be.

I know that it's still not the NHL but I know Springfield could use more offense. You just wonder if we gave up on him too soon.

Figures. Unless the trade changed his work ethic and attitude.

Cant see a trade changing the work ethic.
It always seems that we give up on players too early, or tade them or whatever.
I can see Shremp going this route as well.

There's a long list of players this organization gave up on that could join the list. That's why we haven't seen a draft pick like Hemsky for damn near 20 years.

Syvret does only have 6 goals though, so how many of those points are of the 2nd assist powerplay variety? If it was 35G and 6A I would be shitting the bed.
