Recalled/Assigned: Ghost Returned To Phantoms (October 31, 2014)

[BernieParent]

Heard his nameplate was added to locker room. I guess they changed their mind

"Alt Jersey" doesn't mean what you think it does.

Also, Detroit is a speed team, so better for Gostisbehere than against the Bruins for example.

Ghost is a puck mover, so it makes sense. The only defensemen left who can make a pass are Streit and Del Zotto.

What are the contract implications? Does this start the clock on his ELC? Also, once guys are healthy again he'll just be sent back down, right?

I believe the clock started on his ELC as soon as he played his first AHL game. Or something like that.

And yes, he'll probably be sent back unless he plays out of his mind.

Started this season regardless. Hagg's starts once he plays more than 9 NHL games this year.

Gostisbehere strikes me as a guy that will make it very difficult to send him down, much like in the preseason.

 

[WACCAttack]

Oh, so the concerns in the thread were more about his ability to keep up than contract/development related (assuming he gets sent back down). That's good to know.

Some of you get too caught up on the "don't rush the kids" stuff. Ghost is 21, he's not a 17 year old kid who just got drafted. The reason he was in the AHL was because there are aspects of his game where he could still improve, it's not the same thing as sending someone like Sanheim back to juniors because he's still developing and isn't ready to play at this level. Ghost is what he is and isn't going to grow anymore, he just needs to improve his defense a bit but he can probably do that at the NHL level too.

 

[King Forsberg]

2nd unit PP should get a boost. Can't wait to see what Ghost can do.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

His name sounds like something a pirate would say.

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Little surprised he was called. Would have liked him to have a season in the minors. Hoping for the best, expecting the worst. Atleast he'll bring some excitement to our defense.

I just think that at this point in time the AHL is a much better place to improve his defensive play. Who do you feel comfortable with on our roster to pair him with?

He'll play with either Grossmann or Schultz I would think. Probably Schultz.

Maybe, but I'm not worried about this hurting his development at all.

As for who he plays with, I have no clue what Berube is thinking. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Streit-Grossmann Schenn-MDZ and Schultz-Ghost

 

[flyershockey]

Schultz wouldn't be bad to play with. I've actually liked what I've seen from him.

This too. Detroit isnt overly physical. Not a bad night to see if he can handle NHL forecheckers.

French in origin.

I remember Morin saying at camp that Ghosts dad Regis (who was also a pro Jai alai player) is French and Ghost can speak some pretty good French.

I'm hearing the Flyers are also in talks with a veteran DMan. That could happen this weekend.

 

[Anthems]

LOL

This gif seriously just made me spew my coffee all over my keyboard.

Worth it.

Lots of confusion. Maybe Berube talked to Hextall to change his mind.

Doesn't seem like a guy that would make a statement like that without some kind of inside knowledge.

Speaking of Buccigross, his obsession with Gostisbehere is beyond creepy now.

I assumed it would be Alt, but you are right. Ghost is replacing MacDonald.

If LSchenn had broken his foot maybe Alt would have got the call.

You can hear the love. He also tweeted midseason last year that Ghost would be anchoring the Flyers' top PP unit this season.

It started in his sophomore season when he single-handedly beat BC in the tournament.
