Daily News | Flyers prospect Cam York is ‘on the right track’ after strong start with the Phantoms
against the NHL’s best when playing on the Flyers’ top pair as well as the second and third pairs last season. However, the Flyers want to see more than “good enough” before they keep him in the NHL.
Injured Flyers defenseman Ryan Ellis, in particular, helped York keep faith in himself. When York was growing up in Anaheim, Calif., he would watch Ellis, now 31, play in Nashville. He connected with Ellis initially because they’re both undersized defensemen, but when he was sent down in October, he discovered something else they had in common.
“I want to be in the NHL every single day,” York said. “But I’ve been having fun down here. We have a really good group of guys. And just being able to play with a bunch of confidence and playing a lot, it’s been good.” Talent has never been York’s problem. And while Laczynski was in Allentown, York’s ability was on full display. York was moving the puck, doing “great on his feet,” and skating “like the wind, like it’s nothing.”
The continuity has helped as well. Last season, injuries forced the Flyers to call up York earlier than they planned, and it made it hard to maintain chemistry on either team. It was also mentally tough given the NHL team’s struggles. The Flyers are once again dealing with injuries, but the organization is approaching call-ups cautiously, especially amid a, trying not to negatively affect York or any other young player’s development this year.
