Ghost is one of those every other year players. So in essence he's due to bounce back next season. However he continues to struggle like has this season, I'll look to move him at the trade deadline.

Voracek I won't move for picks or prospects. I would like to get a roster player who's play making skill is similar.

I am very confident it will come out after the season that Ghost was playing with some sort of injury that he tried to play through like Simmonds the season before.

I have no inside information, it is just what I believe from watching the way he moved and shot the puck.

SWEET!!!

Is he eligible for the Phantoms regular season/playoff (if they make it) games?

Edit: Ouch...looks like they're not gonna make it.

- jmatchett383

He probably has a better chance to be in a game if they are NOT making it. Silver lining?

So Hextall put Konency in the NHL as a 19 year old, but would have told Farabee that he was too small and weak to play in the AHL as a 19 year old and forced him to play an extra year in college even though Farabee felt ready to go pro. What a bunch of nonsense.

Those totals would put Doughty among the league leaders. That's about what Pronger produced every season. Pronger did not score 15 goals in a season in his entire career. Doughty is a Norris Trophy winner and two time Cup champion. He is going into the Hall of Fame when he retires. Pretty comparable to Pronger.
- MJL

Doughty is not nor ever will be Pronger, he is a great player though. Pronger was the MVP of the league in his prime, Doughty never sniffed that. When was the last time a Dman won the Hart, might have been Pronger.

If Farabee plays this year he will be exposed in Seattle draft?

I don't think PTO's count, but I could be wrong.

Pronger was the last to win it. I think EK may have been a finalist, though.

I was just thinking yesterday; if Colorado wins the lottery they already have McKinnon... What if we offered Voracek, Ghost, Ratcliffe, Sandstrom, and this years first for the 1st overall. They get a major boost to thier team and become instant SC contenders. We get J.Hughes and a lot of money to spend in FA and we hold onto Farabee and Frost.

How the hell does that make the Flyers better? Huges isnt a Crosby, McJeebus level cant miss prospect.

Wait, i know the answer....it doesnt.

I’d say 185 too. His brothers are bigger so I think he could grow an inch or two which will help adding more weight

15 quality pounds in 6 months = PEDs. IMO

Farabee is still young, so he has time to fill out, but he has spaghetti arms. Hopefully he hits the gym or he's gonna get pushed off the puck in the NHL.
