2020-21 The Carter Hart Era PT2(The raising of the cup)

I can see Ghost being claimed by the Sabres even.

This is interesting. I wonder if Florida may snag him now with Ekblad out for year? They have enough cap space I believe. Chuck is going to gamble here. I wonder what move he's planning?

This is a possibility.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if Ghost clears waivers and no one claims him we still don't shed his salary correct?

I believe we save $1.075 million of his cap hit if he clears waivers and is sent to the minors or taxi squad.

Is it the first team to claim gets him ?

Would seem like such a waste for that little amount.

 

[lasgop8]

What are the rumors of another deal??

 

[Chris p Bacon]

Is it the first team to claim gets him ?

Yes

He's gonna be on my.local team, I need a good defenseman.

 

[purdue81]

I will put Gee as a 2.1

That establishes a reasonable differential between them. I can agree.

I wonder if there is an example of a cup winner with a “c” ranked 3 or less.

Btw. I like Ghost too. I think he works hard. Sad to see him go, but he doesn’t fit on this AV team.

Might be Suban.

 

[purdue81]

Might be Suban.

Setting expectations so I won’t be disappointed.

 

[mall3013]

Seth Jones possibly?

 

[Maverick426h]

Is it the first team to claim gets him ?

Any team can claim him, but if there's more than one team with a claim, the team with the worst record gets him.

 

[lasgop8]

Seth Jones possibly?

This would be incredible!!!

 

[lasgop8]

Setting expectations so I won’t be disappointed.

This would be terrible

 

[purdue81]

This would be terrible

I know, right !? So anything will be better !

 

[Chris p Bacon]

Might be Suban.

No!

 

[Chris p Bacon]

Seth Jones possibly?

That ain't happening lol. Be nice though.

Have you just met our GM?

If Ghost gets claimed, that's 4.5M off the cap.
If he doesn't, that's 1.075M off the cap.

Third option, he clears, and the Flyers work out a deal with someone to retain some of his deal. So, they're looking at adding 1-4.5M in cap space with this Ghost move.

Capfriendly has them at 2.7M in 'real space' right now. Add in the 1-4.5M and he's got 3.7-7.2M available to add. I think. So he can add player(s) with a surplus of 3.7-7.2M beyond whatever salary he sends out. My guess is he isn't looking to send out much salary, more looking to add a player by using picks/prospects. Gotta assume defense.

Klingberg @ 4.25 close to unclaimed Ghost being enough space.
Savard @ 4.25 close to unclaimed Ghost being enough space.
Ellis @ 6.25 would need Ghost to get claimed.
Ekholm @ 3.75 close to unclaimed Ghost being enough space.
Gadreau @ 6.75 needs Ghost to get claimed
Andersson/Tanev @ 4.5 most likely need Ghost to get claimed or traded at a reduced salary

I think those are the most common names out there attached to the Flyers. With Andersson/Tanev being added solely by me, I haven't heard them from anyone else. Also worth noting that Nashville is back in a playoff spot and may not look to sell after all. NHL radio said Poile even said as much.
