mojo1917 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 How much financial responsibility does the claiming team have when, picking a guy off waivers? and what does the cap number wind up being for the claiming team? Seems to me like, even though defensively he's not near as good as Eckblad, he could be a cheap option to help the Panthers keep their season alive. They've been pretty good, Ghost has been better this season than he has been the last couple. He's from Sunrise- I think, I know he went to Majorie Stoneman-Douglas high school which is "not far". He could keep that team from throwing in the towel this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a shame. There was nothing he said that wasn't true, and okay he cussed a couple of times and that got the twitters all excited because profanity=leadership. Fletcher is old school and might be trying to foster some goodwill. He's the last of that type of GM- but maybe he thinks doing Fla a solid might be beneficial down the line? So much fun speculating without knowing anything. Gotta love the 24 hour news cycle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podein25 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 My take: There are so many good reasons the Flyers already give me to start drinking at 9 am, what's one more? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 While we're speculating about #sleptwithBrind'Amor'swife. I'd like to add that with two whole days off to practice, now would be the ideal time to trade for a guy and have them get to know the room/system. Would save a little "husband and wife" when the games go back to counting. Really looking foward to the Marc Staal, and Mark Savard era beginning in Philadelphia.

I know Gus is a pending UFA and Ghost has 3years or so ,but you would think that you could trade Ghost for some kind of draft pick in the offseason. It doesn’t make sense .

I know Gus is a pending UFA and Ghost has 3years or so ,but you would think that you could trade Ghost for some kind of draft pick in the offseason. It doesn’t make sense . Good point. Completely agree. Apparently I have unintended man-crush on Ghost and I can't see him for what everyone else can see him as. I actually enjoy watching Ghost and if paired with the correct dman, I think he has a lot of value. Then again, maybe that's why I'm not a NHL GM. To me Ghost actually provides creativity, something this team sorely lacks. He's better than Ivan on the point on the PP that's for sure. He's a better dman then Gus, Hagg. Maybe he was negatively vocal about AV or Chuck. If he doesn't get claimed I'll be shocked. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare you think a player in the Flyers sweater doesn't suck and has actual value. C'mon man wtf? I'll bet you would probably scoff at Couturier, Sanheim, Patrick and 2nd for Eichel too. sheesh.

And he has a canon. I assume this is a calculated gamble that his salary would prevent anybody from claiming him. I hope they are right in that gamble. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I would have done the hypithetical William Andrew Michael Junior Nylander for Meyers that was thrown around awhile back. Not sure that was actually a thing but I would have pulled that trigger pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't no one picking up Ghost contract unless it is a team with plenty of cap space or a team wanting him for a playoff run. And the expansion draft complicates a lot of things so if the team was to claim him for the playoff rental would expose him and hope and pray he gets selected.

SCFlyguy Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) If Ghost is claimed, the claiming team picks up the rest of his contract. If Ghost is not claimed and is sent to the AHL, the Flyers save about $1M on his cap hit (but pay him his full salary).

With the new CBA there is no more burying contracts anymore you only get like 950K of what ever is owed off the books and yes if a team claims him they get the whole contract. Not certain about a shot across the bow but it could be clearing up some room for a deal to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
