Lets do this!
Excellent post!!!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.
