Rumor: Flyers waived Ghost to clear cap for major deal

[Accelleratii]

To PHI:
Eichel
Ristolainen
Ullmark

To BUF:
Konecny
Patrick
Frost
JVR
2021 1st
2022 1st

Deal?

Yo I would do this deal! Ullmark and Hart, I like it! Eichel, are you kidding me?! Ristolainen isn't what they need on the blueline, but he's a fine player and he makes Sanheim or Myers very expendable. I like what they get in this one.

 

[Accelleratii]

I would *hope* it's Ellis. Hall is a fine hockey player but he is not the move that stabilizes this team. I very capable, solid blueliner is the need and I think waiving Gostisbehere would suggest I'm not wrong.

Curious if Gaudreau+Hanifin could be a possible fit.

 

[Bond]

Curious if Gaudreau+Hanifin could be a possible fit. Voracek or JVR would have to go back for salary purposes and then Frost/Patrick+1st round picks could be included.

Don't think the Flames trade Hanifin outside of an overpayment. Gio has fallen hard and don't have a replacement outside of Hanifin.

 

[Hanover Fist]

Ghost was put on waivers because Fletch already tried to trade him and had no takers.
Hence Fletches statement nobody was willing to take on salary and term.

If the Flames lost Hanifin we’d have teams scoring 10 goals a night on us. We just don’t have the depth to trade a defenceman. Especially one of our best.

I think we can all agree this rumour is BS

He went on about ball bearings and putting Ghost on the Underhills

I agree, the Flyers have little chance of making the playoffs being 10 points back of the Pens with 20 games left. I know they are closer to Boston but Boston has several games in hand. I just don't see them making it this year. Looks like the East is set and so is the North.

Stranger things happen. Though and the Flyers or Rangers could get on a hot streak and make a push but I really don't see that happening. I watched those Flyers games vs the Sabres and they looked really bad. The Pens just played the Sabres and beat them easily with 5 of our top nine forwards out. They looked like an AHL team when we played them and the Flyers made them look good. If they want to. Make a splash good because I am no fan of the Flyers and would love for them to go down the wrong path.

Sutter wants to adopt Hanifin, he won't be traded for anything less than a kings ransom.

You rang? We could use a LHD in LA.

I wonder if the deal is Gostisbehere for Gusev

I wonder if the deal is Gostisbehere for Gusev

the Flyers have 4 Lwers with more points than him

Giroux
JVR
Lindblom
Raffl

Gusev is a UFA though, so if they want cap space could make sense

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Mike Yeo needs to just never be close to anything hockey ever, and i think Philly will improve by default

i just have a theory about Yeo...

edit: not convinced about Therrien either

there's something poisonous in Philly, and i don't think it's the players

All 3 of them need to go. And they need to take Lappy with them.

This is the major problem, but there are significant dressing room problems too.

Easter bunny going to lay a f***ing big egg.....

 

[Mr Positive]

So we can assume that big move isn't coming, because Ghost wasn't claimed?

To Philly:
- Johnny Gaudreau
- Mikael Backlund
- David Rittich
- 2nd Round 2022

To Calgary:
- Nolan Patrick
- Joel Farabee
- Felix Sandstrom

Flames could eat some salary. How crazy is this?

Flames get Farabee and a 1st, what a horrible trade for Philly.

Why would philly do this ? If the really want him why not just wait a year from now when he’s a ufa. What a horrible trade for philly.

To actually get him... and have the time to convince him to stay in that hopeless, lost their shot, place?
