SCFlyguy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 This one goes out to the highly knowledgable hockey folks arguing this guy was going to bring back a high-end prospect or be the centerpiece of a trade for Dubois. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzeke Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 My speculation - 1) Clearing Cap Space for an agreed and pending trade for a defenceman 2) Hagg is ready to return from IR and with Morin playing well, and 8 defencemen, someone had to be moved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraycraven Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 never a dull moment in Flyerland. Have to think there is more to this than just getting cap relief. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCFlyguy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Or maybe an ill-advised pinch at the blueline - he was a master at both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Are the really willing to give up “an asset” for FREE? Fletcher couldn’t even deal him for picks? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFlyguy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 When they have 11th round draft picks, then there will be a pick worthy of Ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digityman Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 If it's not to clear cap room to sign a legit #2 or better defenceman, that this might be one of the stupidest moves I've seen in a long time. Ghost had to fetch at least a draft pick, hell most of us thought at least a 2nd rounder or more. To just waive him? What the fack is going on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFlyguy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 In what universe was Ghost going to fetch a 2nd round pick? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 This should generate an interesting discussion for a bit. Now the real question ..... Does he clear waivers?? If not then it would be apparent to me that some over value the worth of certain players on this team...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radoran Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Carchidi (Philly Inquirer) thinks they may be opening cap space to make a "major deal." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, I don't think any "major" deal is going to save the season. Now if it a deal looking towards the future in a young legit prospect....maybe? or a veteran d-man who can help this young defensive core grow?? maybe? I believe other pieces have to fall first ....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) With the loss of Ekblad I wonder if the Panthers have any interest in him?????? Edited March 30, 2021 by pilldoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Florida just lost Ekblad, they will take Ghost The arrogance of Flyers management thinking no one will claim him is the same thing they thought went Friedman went on waivers....

I don't see anything that makes this team an "immediate contender" but given that apparently losing Matt "faux Finn" Niskanen and Tyler "don't call me" Pitlick seems to have gutted the roster, I suppose anything's possible... 14 minutes ago, pilldoc said: Now if it a deal looking towards the future in a young legit prospect....maybe?

Who was the GM that signed Gotstobethere to that extension, anyway? That guy have a job somewhere? That said, the Pens don't have cap room and have five defencemen signed for $4+M next year already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 No one is going to claim him at that cap hit. He'll make it through waivers, sadly. I'm good if someone takes him. We're not getting anything for him either way. I wonder, though, if this was in response to his, um, candor in the post-game presser the other night. I'm fine. His existence clogs up the roster. I won't miss him 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
