Is this good? Do we want this?

 

[BiggE]

Ew

 

[kudymen]

I'll just wait for the circle to tell me how I feel

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Yikes

My condolences guys

-- Holy Shit they paid 3M for a far inferior Ghost ,, WTF --

 

[Hurricane28]

Low risk I guess. Not thrilled, not terrible

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Is he meant to replace Niskanen ok the right side? Is he meant to replace Ghost when Ghost is better than him?

 

[Magua]

Trying to find an explanation. Failing miserably.

A lefty offensive PP player with not exactly stellar defense. Uh. Hmm. Uh. Hmm.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I have no idea what I did merging these threads.

 

[WolfOfBroadStreet14]

Do you think fletch moves ghost now? Gustafson seems redundant.

 

[TB87]

Is this good? I haven’t really followed this player. I am sorry. I have failed you all with my ignorance on this matter

 

[sa cyred]

I like it. He performed as a #4 defender statistically. It’s super cheap deal and only 1 year. Allows the young defenders to continue to develop and if he sucks we move on.

 

[flyerslducks]

This just makes it difficult for ghost tbh

Would be down to trade him at the deadline for any picks if ghost can regain form. Or maybe if ghost regains form you deal him for more

Makes it tough for Zamula, Friedman, and potentially ghost.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Very good at Entries for a Defenseman. At 5v5, he was absolutely putrid last year. He was poor to mediocre in 2018-19. He was good in 2017-18 over 35 Games.

It's one year so it's whatever, but that's not a guy I would guarantee a lineup spot to, let alone give 3MM. Again, it's one year so the salary really doesn't matter. I just don't think they give him 3 unless they expect him to play.

Literally just banking on one of the previous nhl dmen that hit 60points to hit close to 40+ and the other is gone lmao

 

[Deadpool8812]

Not bad.... But it depends on what it means

 

[MorgantiDrinksBlood]

I don’t know if I wanna vomit, be happy, drink, or cry. ??????

 

[orangecrush8]

60 points two years ago?

Don’t we have one of those already?

 

[tictactoe]

I feel like this is a waste of time.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Can we sign the other Erik Gustafsson now to make Carchidi lose his mind?

 

[flyerslducks]

Makes it tough for Zamula, Friedman, and potentially ghost.

Let’s be real, Zamula was never in the running to play when we resigned Braun. He is going to be in the ahl for a year or loaned if ahl is a no go.
