CF really panicked after yesterday's ED and gets dunked on an hour into the trade freeze lifting.

If he gave up a 1st I would be upset, he gave up 2 picks next year. One of them a 7th. World is not on fire. If he uses this cap space to bring in a good player to help us win then it works out.

I highly doubt he does this trade unless he had a plan for what to do with all of that cap space. Just have to wait and see what his plan is.

That's my thinking, too.

Some are reporting "future considerations". I have no idea what.

Hayes is what happens when your number 2 overall pick doesn't pan out.

2022 is supposed to be a great draft.

Coyotes will consider not trolling the Flyers from their official social media channels.

Well, we got 4.5 million in cap space. That is most definitely NOT nothing.
- MBFlyerfan


Agreed. But we didn't RECEIVE that from the Coyotes. We received NOTHING back for Ghost. Not even the proverbial "bag of pucks." Total salary cap dump, great. I like it.

I still can't shake Ghost and his (frank)ing dogs in that "Behind the Glass" episode. I hope those poor dogs like Arizona.

What were people expecting? Sucks, but it is what it is. Hopefully he brings in a big time player.

Yeah I’d love chaz or lysell. Don’t think either will be there tho. Actually hope they aren’t. Save me aggrevation when they’re passed up

These drafts always have a few twists as players rise or fall because each team has different needs and boards...it's not out of the realm that someone like Lucius could slide 1 or 2 spots.

I think this trade greatly increases our odds of trading for someone like Reinhart with the added cap space

We literally got nothing for Ghost AND we had to add two picks...

That was worse than I thought. I was hoping at least a mid-round pick came back...

- cdearth23


Last year he could have been had on waivers and nobody wanted him. Flyers we’re trading at a point of weakness here. Why would he now be worth any assets in return?
I think this deal was as best we could hope for.

Chuck Fletcher in high school asking a girl out;

CF: "I'll wash your car every week for one year."

Girl:

CF: "I'll drive you and your friends to the mall every weekend."

Girl:

CF: "Okay, I'll wash your car until you graduate college."

Girl: Deal.

It's the Jeremy Roenick to SJ again (if true)...which means those future considerations will amount to nothing.

I am happy that we unloaded Ghost and create cap space for another move. I'm just surprised that we got nothing back. That's all. Looking forward to a few more exciting days...
