When Andrew MacDonald was waived by the Flyers before the season, I made a joke about how the Phantoms' Calder Cup hopes had been dashed by his addition to the lineup.
That was an obvious joke, though. MacDonald -- while overpaid and not very good at the NHL level -- is certainly a quality AHL player right? Even if he had a bad contract in the NHL, the skills that got him such a contract mean that he'll absolutely crush AHL competition. That's obvious.
Or, maybe not?
Look at MacDonald's play on this goal by Providence Bruins forward Seth Griffith on Saturday night.
