I think we should just win in regulation so we dont have to worry about the shootout.
Yea how he gets top minutes over anyone is confusing to me lol.
Ghost has 1 point in 8 games so its not like hes is tearing it up.
100% agree with this
Ghost was out of position on the second goal against. It was a turnover and quick play, but he could have been quicker to cover
Agreed. Yes, we have a lot of forward depth, but we were literally missing 5 of our top 9 forwards for this contest. I think that would cripple most teams, so to get a point out of this one is actually encouraging. Guys like Couturier, Provorov and Myers really shined. Props to NAK, Farabee, Hayes and Raffl too for playing big minutes and coming through offensively.

Interesting article
What drives the modern defenseman, and what's next?
Ty Smith remembers his dad's sales pitch like it was yesterday.It was 2007 or 2008 and his minor hockey team was short on defensemen in the middle of a tournament. None of Smith's teammates were eager to drop back and help out, so, as the coach's son, he became the default choice."It's fine...
Yes he could have been better on that play but overall he is showing improvement over last year. I'm happy for the kid.
Yes I'd be in on that deal it could drive them to the cup so why not?LeBrun: 4 potential trade destinations for Mattias Ekholm
These are the teams Pierre LeBrun sees as potential fits if the Predators decide to trade Ekholm.
Another paywall. But LeBrun talks about the Flyers as one of the 4 here. Did hedge that there hasn’t been any indication from the Preds they want to sell and start the rebuild, yet. But, they’re bad. And aging. FWIW, article also said other GMs said no GM was more aggressive in trying to get a top 4 guy in the offseason than Fletcher. couldn’t find a fit.
Ekholm would be a massive add. He’s good. He’s big. He can bring some mean. He’s got a cheap contract for what he is (3.5ish for this year and next).
He’s LH which isn’t as ideal. And being signed for next year complicates the expansion draft. But damn would he look good in the Flyers top 4.
LeBrun hypothesizing he’d require a ‘Muzzin-like’ return. Muzzin to the leafs was a 1st, Grunnstrom, and Durzi. So a 1st, a former 2nd round pick, and a depth guy.
1st rounder is easy. Not going to worry about the depth guy / throw in. Plenty of options there.
Former 2nd round pick. So, decent, but not top notch prospect. My first thought here would be Zamula. Andrae, Allison, Cates could be in there. Ersson is having an outstanding season in the SHL from what I’ve read, could be an option.
If Ekholm does become available, I’d push my chips in if I were Fletcher. Worry about the expansion draft later. Outside of being LH, he’s a near perfect fit for what the team needs IMO.
I watched Andrae in the World Juniors and he is not good at all. If anybody wants him id be suprised. It would be nice if they would take him Frost and a third rounder next year for EckholmLeBrun: 4 potential trade destinations for Mattias Ekholm
