Ghost continues to show why Fletcher was terrible.

The trade that sent Ghost, as he's well known, was completed on July 22, 2021. The Flyers sent Ghost along with two draft choices to the Coyotes and received nothing in return. To make this deal worse, Fletcher decided to eat Ghost's salary to make the deal work.

Before this deal, Ghost did suffer several setbacks due to injuries over the years with the Flyers; however, a player of his calibre should have received at least a draft pick or a prospect for his level of talent.

After his short time with the Coyotes, the Arizona organization traded him to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a third-round pick in 2026.
During the summer of 2023, the Detroit Red Wings gave him a one-year, $4.125 million contract, and since that deal was made, his production level has returned to the levels people expected.

With Ghost now 30 years old and fully healthy, the Red Wings are getting the full value of their contract, as he has played six games, scored two goals, with four assists for six points, and holds a +3 rating.

Red Wings fans are seeing that telltale shot that Ghost is well known for, and he is starting to connect repeatedly. They are hoping the Detroit Red Wings will snap out of their non-playoff streak."
