The Flyers don't need to clear any cap space to add Ellis or Ekholm.

Do you want to meet up and fight, you (frank)ing stooge hahahahahha

complete trash. meet him at 4 sons.

WHAT? Why TF is he waiving Ghost? Why not waive Gus or Prosser first?
- Letterkenney

Prosser is not taking up cap space, and Gust has trade value as a deadline rental.

Oh right, because there is a deadline cap that is higher than the regular season cap?

Is it respectful or does he belittle Bill? I am not sure calling people a clown and telling them to go away will help Bill's blogger viewership but it is a free country

this is coming from someone that calls bill a company man almost any time he disagrees with him. the guy is a complete hypocrite.

Perhaps a trade with Florida would require us to eat some of Ghosts salary - and we need all of it off the books- so instead we made a behind-the-scenes deal with Florida, tell them we will put him on waivers, they claim him and fill Ekblads spot (in terms of being a warm body) and we now have space to make a move that is already in the works.

Anyone have an idea what that move might be?

that wouldn't make sense for Florida, why not trade and ask for 50% retention. More likely they waived him, if he gets through they might have a deal with the Panthers to trade, holding salary etc

So essentially Chuck is willing to lose Ghost just for the cap room. I mean that’s probably better than taking back a 4th and some Lehterha type contract.

Just trying to make sense of it.

Maybe Florida is happy to spend the money but doesn’t want to part with any assets

I think the least likely scenario at play here is, Gostisbehere gets claimed, plays well and the Flyers get nothing and look like a horses ass.

imagine if hextall claims him and he wins the norris in an upcoming year

I thought it was settled the other day that neither was available since Nashville is in a playoff spot now...

I think they have the cap so could be but Ghost has 3 years left, doesn't make sense to me.

The thought of Florida replacing Ekblad with Ghost is like breaking a condom and using the wrapper to replace it.

Ghost and Letang on the same defense. Woof

between AV last night going to 3 lines and now this, if they don't have the players full attention they never will.

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do

Honestly with the cap like it is and going to stay the same for a number of years, we're going to see numerous head scratcher moves like this from teams.

he is very disrespectful. Go see for yourself.

Yes, please.

IF ghost goes to another team, I can't wait to see the love pour out for him all of a sudden.

With Ekblad's injury, I can see Florida picking him up.

maybe you can tag along.

Not sure what’s going on then. Hoping to jettison him for more cap space this summer? Could it be so there’s another player they don’t need to protect? I’d like to hear bills take.

i could too or maybe there's literally nothing to it and the team gave up on him
