As a PHI fan, I've seen enough.
His points came from being too self-centric on the ice a few years ago.
PHI is/was/will be simply a better team with Provorov running the PP1 and first unit of OT.
I've been saying it for 3+ years and PHI finally proved me right last year by moving Ghost to a lesser role.
With Hextall (who signed him long-term) out... you'll see PHI move on from Ghost.
His contract is OK... not great, not even good... but it's OK for somebody that can provide offensive upside.
The bigger problem (as I just wrote in a Marino thread) is that the entire future of NHL defensemen is smaller, super-smart, good skating D-men.
And they are coming in BIG waves in the next year or two.
Which makes Ghost... simply the first model of an NHL trend.
Everybody's got their Samsung S10 or Apple 10 these days... no point in hanging around to inferior previous versions, right.
That's Ghost. There's simply better versions here (Girard, Fox, Marino) and coming (2021 draft) than Ghost.
This exactly. Confirmed by another Philly fan. Give me Professional VOROV Please!
