As Reported yesterday, Flyers young forward Bobby Brink has been sent to AHL affiliate Lehigh Valley Phantoms and Olle Lycksell was called up to the main roster.
The Flyers head coach met with the media today before the team's game against the Lightning to address a few topics, one of them being Brink's demotion.
When asked what Brink needs to work on in AHL:
Everything, Everything. Practice Habits, how he handles himself, away from the puck, everything a young man has to go through the process do. I don't consider this a bad thing. He needs to develop and play a ton of minutes there.

Brink started the year off hot on the Flyers line up but has leveled off as Torts puts it. The Flyers Coach does not want him sitting in the press box, or only playing 6-7 minutes a game. He wants him to get a ton of minutes at Lehigh Valley and continue to work on his game at the AHL level.
Torts has never been a coach to shy away from telling players what they need to work on, Bobby Brink now has his homework to do in Lehigh Valley.
