This means they think he'll get claimed, I wonder what they're trying to pull off?

That is the way i am leaning...My gut instinct would be a Taylor Hall rental
I have a feeling this is one of those things where the reporter is reading into a move. I don't think Ghost gets claimed at all. Many teams have waived guys in this cap strapped time for flexibility of moving guys up and down to the taxi squad.
Who even has the cap space?
Probably. Some of us here in Calgary have been expecting Johnny to be heading back east at T's first opportunity. This may be closer to becoming reality now that Darth Sutter has taken over behind the Flames' bench.Just posted this in the other thread. Watch this be the first step in Calgaru rebuild with Johnny Hockey going to the flyers.
but we have no one to really move up and down for room. Everyone we have is already on the taxi squad or injured. This move makes no sense other than maybe its to make room for a trade. Idk though, this has the been the craziest month for the flyers lolI have a feeling this is one of those things where the reporter is reading into a move. I don't think Ghost gets claimed at all.

This year yeah. But you'd also be taking on the next two years as well. Not saying it won't happen but that's a hell of a move for the Panthers to commit to someone for multiple years because of an injury for this season only.Florida has the space and just lost Ekblad
Fair point. Could also just be plain roster flexibility. Isles do it every month with Leo Komarov.but we have no one to really move up and down for room.

Ghost has no trade protection. Is due like $2.25 mill in SB in each of the next 2 seasons with $1 mill in salary in both years. If Philly deals him after his next SB, he would only have $4.25 mill in total cash remaining on his 2 year deal, so $2.125 mill per year to a team that isn't a cap ceiling team. $4.5 mill cap hit.I can't tell if this is a reporter actually reporting what he's hearing, or just taking the fact he got waived as some indication that they're working on a major deal.
Those 2 situations are very different
