OccamsRazor Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 This time next year he'll be signing for $6M a year. Gotta meet my Philly negativity quota Ok you meet it. Done take the day off. :blink: Can we at least wait 3 years of service before we just hand him his 6 mill per over 8 years!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
behnam Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I didn't get a chance to see the game, anyone knows how I can get a hold of that game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGreatGazoo Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I think this is the link to Ghost's contract. I posted it in the shoutbox last night and copied it from there. Capgeek is down at the moment, so I can't confirm it still works. http://capgeek.com/player/3385 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try maybe looking at either college website or ESPN. If ESPN, I imagine they will want some do re mi. You can try some torrents sites (perhaps someone recorded it), but you did not hear that from me! :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ESPN, I imagine they will want some do re mi. You can try some torrents sites (perhaps someone recorded it), but you did not hear that from me! :-P Here is a condensed version... if you don't want to watch the whole thing flip to where there was 1:30 left in the 3rd when he came from the other side of the ice to break up the play that even went the other way for the dagger in the heart to make it 6-4!!! WOW! For an "offensive Dman" to play that type of play? Impressive! I'd schitt my draws to even to a Vet...like Braydon Coburn do that once in a season...much less a 21 year old can't wait to get a look at him in due time in the NHL.

Vanflyer Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) WOW...thanks for sharing.....I'm getting shivers up and down my spine just waiting for him to be in O&B..... I have watched allot of Junior hockey (and while having played D1 NCAA, not much NCAA in recent years) and have been to three WJHC / Memorial cups finals and series. Throughout my playing days and watching days- at an amateur level, I am not sure I have ever seen a player dominate a game like that- ever. The thing was that as soon as he was on the bench, he wanted to be right back out on the ice. He was that dominate.

Not for nothing, but Bodie deserves allot of credit too (who signed an elc with the Rangers the day before Ghost signed with the Flyers). Not on the signing, but the game that Ghost played. Bodie was the captain and leader of the Union team. Ghost elevated his game to a man against boys level, but without Bodie, not sure that would have happened.

behnam Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hey I watched it three times already, the guy is a treat every time he touches the puck. Are you kidding me?

Vanflyer Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 the guy is a treat every time he touches the puck. Just needs about 15 more pounds before playing with the big boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Can we at least wait 3 years of service before we just hand him his 6 mill per over 8 years!!!!!!! Yes we can! Entry level contracts have to be 3 years for players aged 18-21 (he turns 21 on Sunday). So he cannot make that kind of money until at least year 4. Your point is made, I get it, but it certainly was good of Homer to sign him before he turned 22 (ELCs are 2-years after that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, honestly, waiting a year to sign him to a 2 year or signing him now to a 3 year ELC really doesn't make any difference to the Flyers cap. It's only a plus to Ghosts bank account.

Podein25 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 @flyercanuck Yeah I guess. Anyway, I've now watched the highlights and the kid is dynamic. He will put on weight, so he should be a good one. With 3rd round picks like that, who needs 2nd rounders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGreatGazoo Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I am not sure I have ever seen a player dominate a game like that- ever. It was even more impressive in person. I didn't watch ANYONE else, or the puck when he was out. He was that good. It was ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanflyer Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 It was even more impressive in person. I didn't watch ANYONE else, or the puck when he was out. He was that good. It was ridiculous. He needs a few pounds. His game sense, intelligence is already there. I was pretty impressed about the pace of the NCAA frozen four. To my eye, it was same as an AHL game. So, if Ghost can be that far ahead of those (14 draft picks for the Gophers), than he is close to ready for prime time. BUT, he needs 15 pounds. I am not in a hurry.

With 3rd round picks like that, you have to wonder what the thinking is when the same guy picks a Goulbourne or a (Bombo)Klotz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyers haven't had a third round pick that has played more than 70 games for them since Chris Therien. In 1990. So, you know, there's some history there Before that it was 1983 (Derrick Smith) and before that it was somewhat more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Zezel (RIP) was also a 3rd rounder, plus a few of the other guys on that great mid-80s team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did pick Prospal and Sharp with 3rd rounders - but neither played more than 70 games for the Flyers (Prospal - initially) Zezel was a 2nd in 1983 (picked round before Smith was). Before 1983:Miroslav DvorakLindsay CarsonGlen CochraneDave HoydaJim WatsonBob Kelly Eight 3rd rounders in team history have played more than 70 games for the Flyers (not including Prospal, who got over 70 games when he came back briefly). That's not the worst record in the league, believe it or not. Detroit, for example, doesn't have a boatload of 3rd rounders than panned out. But they did get Filppula, Franzen, Osgood and someone named "Lidstrom" since 1989. The Pens' only big third rounder in that same time frame is Kris Letang. The Devils can claim Henrique, Mike Rupp, Gionta, Souray and Oliwa. The Leafs have Fredrik Modin and Mikael Tellqvist. It's a crapshoot, and one that Homer looks to have rolled well on with Ghost.
