York being close to ready played a part in the decision. -Fletch

I like Cernak, but I could see a target for Zadorov, who can play the right side.

I also heard Fletcher has a woodie for former Islander defender Harmonic, but not sure he makes us tougher. Cernak would be great if Tampa was willing to trade him.

Really like the Ghost trade. Don't mind spending a 2nd & 7th for $4.5M of cap space over the next 2 years. If spent correctly, that can be a contributing piece this season. Or just bank it to have some cap wiggle room down the line after resigning Hart & Sanhiem and a backup.

Devs talking to Blues about Tarasenko. Actually makes a lot of sense. Well, a lot more sense to than the Blues taking back Jake's contract...

Goodrow to the Rangers. Not gonna like playing against him for the next 6 years.

With $13M does Fletcher have enough money to extend Sanheim and Hart, sign a top 4 Dman and backup goalie? Possibly, we'll see what else he has up his sleeve. At least he has some room to work with.

If Ghost truly has no value, why don’t we trade Hagg for ghost straight up. Take on a bit of salary and get a proven 1st unit power play QB that can play on any pair in either side for statistically the worst defenseman in the league

Take out the top 4 dman and yes.


Flyers made a qualifying offer to Hart - Fletch

Think he's going to show off his coupon to the local AZ frozen yogurt shop for Ghost's trade?
- FlyersGrace


That coupon makes chuckles pay 10% more than menu price

I would think that any move Tampa makes that involves sending out an asset like Cernak is going to have one of their big contracts attached to it. They have to find a way to shed salary.

Think he'll actually throw the mic at the camera or just walk out laughing?

Rumor is he is going to show a Flyer trailer.

Then Fletcher slips out before the lights turn back on

Bill asks about the #13

Was never going to be used in a trade to dump salary, but could be used in a hockey deal -Fletch

Guess will wait to see what other move drops to assess ghost trade. Skeptical tho..

One team asked for Cam York, and another asked for a 1st, to take Ghost.
- MBFlyerfan

I know, essentially Fletcher traded a 2nd and 7th round pick for $4.5M in cap space for the next two years. I think that is a good trade, considering 1. the Flyers could not bring back Ghost and 2. he apparently had ZERO trade value.

Absolutely. For 4.5 over two years. That’s absurd.

Pretty much means Jake is immovable unless we eat significant money. Ugh.

I bet Hagg could net the Flyers a solid mid-round pick.

Ghost is probably mad he can't dress up his little dogs in that hot Arizona heat.

He destroyed someone last year for stick tapping the goalie after a whistle. We could use that

Yeah, you're right. He's great at puck retrievals & outlet passes. And is a sick neutral zone defender. I'm not really sure what that means, but it apparently it's a very good thing. And he put up a ton of points just a couple of years ago. Guy just needs to get his confidence back, that's all. We shoulda been more patient. We don't need that $9M over the next two years. My bad

Absolutely. This guy has made some of the biggest hits I have seen in my life. Need that for the back end and the team as a whole since I dont think Morin will be in the Flyers plans anymore

yet they need players and picks. Flyers could find a trade with them that made sense
