It was Epic that I remember....those last few days on philly.com were quite comical as the mass exodus began....... between Vader and the dude who constantly talked in the 3rd person (I can't remember his screen at the moment) and of course Gummy .... it was hilarious watching those 3 interact like the 3 Stooges .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to see here....kinda like the way they play Because you're my favorite turd. This is a procedural thing...so very day they don't play Ghost can be assigned to the taxi squad now where they can continue to bank cap space. Chuckles has done a very good job with the cap management i think trying not to put guys on LTIR if he doesn't have too and bank the daily cap space to he has room to work with (6.3 mill in cap space so far). Ghost will not require waivers until he has been on the roster past 30 days or has played 10 games which CF has weigh knowing that once the trade deadline has passed waivers are not required anymore.

Zzeke Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Now we look for GM Fletcher to consumate a deal between now and the April 12 trade deadline for a defenceman to pair with Provorov. Ideally he is a pending UFA (for tactful Expansion Draft purposes), RH/RD, excellent in the defensive zone, tough (will drop the gloves), logs big ice-time, very dependable, and an ideal complement to Provorov. As a pending UFA, he won't have to be protected. Seattle won't select a pending UFA. If it is mutally agreeabe, Fletcher can sign this defenceman after the Expansion Draft. Who fits this profile? DAVID SAVARD, RD/RH, Columbus Blue Jackets, 6'2", 233 lbs. A pending UFA (UFA after this 2020-21 Season). Age 30 with 9 seasons NHL experience. Cap Hit for 2020-21 is 4.25 M and prorated. Fletcher may have to overpay some. There is competition from other GMs. Unknown - if Fletcher is given permission to talk with Savard and his agent ahead of time to try to get a verbal agreement on a multi-year contract to be done after the Expansion Draft. (Fletcher will just say NO to including Frost or Zamula, Wylie, York, etc.) SCOUTING REPORT- David Savard Excels at defending his position and shutting down high-scoring opponents. Is a good puck mover from the back end. Has great lateral mobility and plenty of size. Is rugged and a fearless shot blocker. Can log big minutes and be relied upon in important situations. Was a high-scoring defenseman in junior hockey, so his talent is somewhat underrated at the NHL level. Quality shutdown defenseman. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is mutally agreeabe, Fletcher can sign this defenceman after the Expansion Draft. This is why a trade for Ekholm doesn't work. He has another season on his contract. It's a high probability that Seattle selects Ekholm as he would be on our Flyers Exposed List. Then the trade assets would be lost w/o compensation - - - unless Fletcher can make a handshake deal with Seattle here 4 months prior to the July 21 Expansion Draft. Very unlikely this early. Yes, the 3 protected defencemen will be Provorov, Sanheim, Myers. Yes, some shortsighted will say not Sanheim or Myers. But, that is not logical, not wise, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh....got it! Risky move. Guess the salary kept him from being claimed cuz NO WAY he doesn't make SOME team better (IF Paired/played correctly) for the right price.... So, move coming?....we gonna get a Vet D-man? Another overpaid/underachieving "star"? Asking for myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's having a subpar year stats wise (e.g., -14), not sure what that's all about. Maybe it lowers the price slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zzeke Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 2 minutes ago, CoachX said: Does this make Ghost more valuable as a trade chip? Fletcher has been trying to trade Ghost for a year. No takers. For the Seattle Kraken Expansion Draft, there is a high probability that Seattle will not select Ghost. Since Seattle is required to take 1 player from each of the 31 teams, they are more likely to select Hagg or Morin as the team is presently constituted. Probable Exposed List: van Riemsdyk (Age 32, Cap Hit 7M) Voracek (Age 32, Cap Hit 8.25M) Bunnaman F Twarynski F Kase F Gostisbehere D Hagg D Morin D Sandstrom G 2nd year (Fletcher will expose to meet the Expansion Draft Rules for goaltenders) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
