Speculation: 2019 Trade Deadline III

[FLYguy3911]

Inspired from a FGSB tweet, what about:

Ghost

For

Huberdeau

Ghost returns home and we get a skilled winger.

Just on value. Not debating if you would want to trade ghost or not.

If they are going to play him 7 minutes a night at ES? Yes.

I would prefer to keep him as a PP1 and top 4 staple though.

 

[dats81]

Would people just take a 2nd for Simmonds now?

Hextall really screwed up this situation. Simmonds should have been dealt last trade deadline or at the draft at the latest.

A late second rounder isn't enough.
Rather hold out till the last minute even if he goes for a 4th rounder than selling low on him now. Someone will miss on their primary target and get really really desperate towards the end.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Huberdeau is probably worth more in a vacuum, but that's not really the point. Properly leveraged, the Flyers could get more as constructed out of Gostisbehere.

He's got an excellent contract too, btw. You're buying largely prime at submarket rate.

 

[Striiker]

No need to be condescending. I like Huberdeau. I think it would be a good trade.

You can like him all you want but we need defensemen far more than another winger.

 

[baudib1]

I'd still rather center a trade for Huberdeau around Patrick. Ghost is still a top 10 contract in the league IMO.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I have no idea why this just hit me, but if they trade Gostisbehere, Provorov is going to be on PP1, isn't he?

I don't think I can take hundreds of games of that.

5 forwards almost has to be better.

Would not like this trade. Getting older, more expensive, and arguably less potential.

Huber is really likely to provide more value over the life of his contract than Patrick. It would be basically taking Patrick and turning him into an optimistic prime version of him.

 

[Striiker]

He's not getting traded so it doesn't matter.

 

[hatcher]

Sanheim will run that pp1 soon I hope.

I'm just gonna disagree with the comparison and I don't think the difference between the two next season will warrant a $5 million price tag., especially given the premium placed on centers.

His 5v4 +/- might be even over that time

Ghost gets traded at the deadline. Provy rides a hot PP1 in relatively meaningless games for the rest of this season. Right into contract negotiations. 8x8.

I can see it now.

 

[Johnk0728]

Unless its in a package where I am getting a top paring d-man back; I am not trading Gostisbehere. The blue line is too young to begin with; trading away one of the seasoned d-men for a forward makes no sense.

Sanheim?

Patrick could be the Flyers 1C in a few seasons. Not trading him for a winger who's 5 years older.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

There’s no way on Earth I’d trade Patrick before trading Ghost.

 

[baudib1]

That's actually highly unlikely.

 

[baudib1]

Yeah but you're clearly a little insane about your hatred of Gostisbehere right now.

I am not part of the trade Ghost crowd but if he were traded it would probably be for a high end winger.
I don’t have a good feeling about Fletcher on Ghost. Maybe I am influenced by what I read in here.
I could see him trying make a big move using Ghost as the big piece on the Flyers end.

Ghost for Keller/Ehlers type winger. Add pieces as needed.
Along the lines of Ozolinch-Nolan, Gologoski-Neal.

 

[VladDrag]

In a world where we get a $10M UFA I think Lindblom is a great third-line winger. I don't personally object to JVR-Frost-TK though.

I am late to this, but if the Flyers landed Stone, I would go with Frost and Stone together. Something like

28-14-11
25-19-93
23-Frost-Stone (I do wonder if foot foot speed with this line would be an issue however).

 

[baudib1]

I don't think you can or should sign someone like Stone, who might be the Selke winner and is probably a top 5 winger in the league, and put him on the third line.

 

[RonHextall27]

Until you can find a PP1 dman who doesn't get he yips or pound it into shin pads Ghost needs to stay put. He's the only guy i trust on the line right now
