Some exciting news for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms and for the Flyers' prospect group today as a whole, as Swedish forward Oskar Lindblom has signed an amateur try-out contract with the Phantoms for the remainder of this season.
Lindblom, a forward who was seen by some as a potential second-round pick in the 2014 draft before falling off due to a rough draft year, was grabbed by the Flyers in the fifth round of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft in Philadelphia. He has spent most of the last two years playing for Brynas in the Swedish Elite League's highest level.
