Confirmed with Link: [AZ/PHI] Shayne Gostisbehere, a 2022 2nd, and a 2022 7th from PHI for one US dollar

[Jakey53]

So some of you think Shane wants to hang around and deeply inhale the smoke of this tire fire?
Doubtful, imo

His family is still living in Philly. What does that tell ya?

It tells me that it's too expensive to move to Phoenix even if you make $3 mil per year.

That when we trade him at the deadline, he’d really appreciate if it were to the Devils, Caps, Rangers, Islanders, Bruins, or Pens?

Maybe he's not a dad kind of guy and needed a break? I'd totally get that. I love my kids deeply but being a dad is hard work, nor did I plan on having kids. The emotional and physical tolls are heavy. I'd never want a life without them now that I have them but it doesn't change how daunting children are.

I'm assuming he has kids, no idea if that's true or if he's a guy who's dreamt of having a family. Just providing a different perspective.

 

[Grimes]

I'd love to keep this player, but not much point in keeping him if he will just not re-sign here in two years. I hope BA approaches it correctly and let's him know he can be a long term piece (if BA even wants that) or otherwise he can help facilitate a trade.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

If we keep pumping up Ghost’s numbers then would it be reasonable to expect a return similar to what we got for Yandle in 2015? Yandle had 41 points when we traded him and was the same age Ghost is now. Yandle also had an extra year on his contract which increased his value, Yandle was also making 5.25 mil at the time. Ghost is making 4.5. It’s all a really similar situation to me.

If we can pump up Ghost’s value to a 1st and A prospect, you absolutely trade him.

Sell high on literally everything until you have a team worth a damn.

My kids were/are a complete joy, worth every minute, sacrifice etc.

At this point, there's really no other option, particularly when you consider Ghost's age.

 

[Matias Maccete]

Ghost is great and I love watching him play, but at the TDL if we can get an A prospect or 1st rounder for plus a 2nd-4th him hell yeah.

Ultimately this is the right move. Too bad Kessel isn't having the same season Ghost is. Pretty insane to think we can still add a grin of great assets from the vets we aquired for assets and Kessel who now just costed POJ.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Shayne has been on the score sheet for 52% of Coyote goals.

Good news...Ghost can play.
Bad news...we suck. (good news depending on your perspective )

He doesn't have children

Just thinking about that 7th round pick that was required to get this deal done. Trying to imagine how that part of negotiations went down.

BA also finessed a 7th out of the Canucks in a trade where a shitton of cap was moving around.

They used the Philly 7th to trade into the 2021 7th round to take Lipkin, which is already paying early dividends. Traditional GMs don't care about 7ths but if an entire FO is made up of scouts...

 

[rt]

Some COL fans seemed pretty good with the idea of Kessel(50%) for Jost and a 3rd. I think we could use Jost as a C and with Galchenyuk off of IR and McCartney/Jenik up on a tryout, I’d be cool with moving on from Kessel.

I’d like to move a 2nd for a goalie. Maybe Khudobin when Bishop is healthy. That NYI 2nd should be late.

Kessel (50%)+NYI 2nd for Khudobin+Jost+COL 3rd seems like a fine trade-off. Those approximately 45-50 draft slots between the NYI 2nd and COL 3rd ain’t gonna kill us.

 

[moosemeister]

I would not trade a 2nd for a 35 year old goalie. Georgiev? Sure. Khudobin? Hard pass.

I agree. We need stability in net, but he isn't the answer.

 

[MIGs Dog]

I still say Ghost is trade bait if we can get a good return.

Lol

 

[moosemeister]

Ghost is absolutely great trade bait. If no one meets BAs offer we can keep him another year

 

[Matias Maccete]

Depending on his ask and what package is offered at the TDL I'd re-sign him. He's been great.

He’s got another year left. No rush.

Islanders need a LHPMD/PP point man desperately and Lou’s not afraid to move 1sts. Perfect fit if the money worked. With only one salary retention spot remaining, which is probably targeted for Phil, a deal would need to happen at the TDL with someone like Pánik+ coming back.

Islanders are in 28th place. Are they really going to rebound with Ghost and/or Kessel? Doubtful they risk a lottery 1st.

 

[BAdvocate]

Has any team given up an unprotected 1st round pick in the last couple years? Seems like now they all come with some stipulation to protect if someone finishes in the top 10 or higher or wins the lottery?
