Tye McGinn Flyers leading goal scorer demoted to AHL
More NHL: | | | | | To put it mildly, its been a strange year for the . The peculiarity continued Friday when the Flyers sent down to the American Hockey League. Maybe that shouldnt be a surprise, but as of now, McGinn is the teams leading goal scorer with three Brian McCann Jersey tallies in four games.McGinns three goals this season, two of which came as the only goals in a 3-2 lo s to Vancouver, matches his total from an 18 Sean Newcomb Jersey -game stint last season. The optics of sending down a guy who injected a little life into a lineup certainly isnt great. That said, just because a guy has three goals doesnt nece sarily mean hes ready to wrestle a full-time roster spot away from someone else.

Especially since McGinn has good size, plays with a lot of energy and physicality and seemed to be playing really well in general.Even with that in mind, McGinn Atlanta Braves Blank Jersey isnt likely going to produce the way he has so far. He has 26 goals over 109 games in the AHL. McGinn is still a bottom-of-the-lineup player. With the way things are going in Philadelphia, its probably not unfair to nitpick every decision Paul Holmgren makes from Bob Uecker Jersey here on out, but despite the way McGinn has played, this kind of move is not as irrational as it looks.
