LeBrun: Gostisbehere available for trade

[Michoulicious]

Shayne Gostisbehere is available for trade, multiple sources around the league told me over the weekend. Which isn’t totally shocking, but what’s funny in a way that for all the trade rumours linked to him in the past, this is really the first time the Flyers have shown a serious willingness to move him if they get the right offer.

Not sure what he'll bring. When Hagg is played over you, that is not a good sign.

That was obvious

I legit have no clue what his value would be. If Ottawa moves Brannstrom in a package for a top player (Sergachev is my dream scenario, but would be receptive to any top 4 young D), I'd be somewhat receptive to a White for Ghost trade. Not sure if the org would, though... I think they still see White as a key secondary piece. That said, Ghost is owed just 9.75m over the next 3 seasons and I'm sure they see a lot of appeal in that.

Just re-signed Hagg for two years... buy ghost

what would the flyer want for him from the kings?

Probably one of your C prospects (Kupari) to replace Patrick if he fades away because of injuries.

 

[Calad]

Name a better duo: AV & pushing talented players out of the lineup for plugs just to have them traded for scraps

 

[KingsHockey24]

Welcome to LA.

For a guy you can't wait to get rid of? I'll pass.

Both coming off down years, obviously LA has time to see if Kupari bounces back but you're loaded with C prospects and verrrrrrrrrrr..........rrrrrry lean on NHL LD.

Great player but he's got a bad wheel. Stamkos 2.0

 

[Tetsuo]

Water is wet. Move along.

I mean is it really a down year for him. It was Kupari's 1st year in NA and he got hurt. Our c depth is loaded and it should stay that way and let the chips fall as they may. I'd probably move Dudas for him, not sure that does anything for Philly. We can always bring back Hutton for cheap and or sign any vet LD that the rest of the league casts off in free agency. We dont have to spend assets for a guy a team can't wait to get rid of.

Would a Ghost-DeAngelo swap make sense? Not implying equal value but assuming it is evened out. That would fix the L-R balance for both teams. What are the other reasons besides handedness that these players are on the outs?

 

[FreeMcdavid]

not a good player and defensive abilties are AHL level.

 

[HotDish]

I'd love to find a way to get Ghost in Minnesota. Of course, Dumba would have to be traded first. Does Philly want Dumba for Ghost+? Or do the Flyers want forwards coming back?

I thought he played well in the playoffs.

As a Kings fan, I would be open to the right deal, even includes some conditions based on the degree of his bounce back

I think they would rather get futures. I don't think they will get any value if they're looking for NHL talent for him.

The disconnect with Ghost goes further than 'Hagg passed him on the depth chart,' He doesn't fit what AV does because Ghost is a LHD who plays way better on the right side. If he was left-handed he would've played ahead of him, the Flyers deal they just gave Hagg does not reflect that of a defenseman who has established himself as a regular player.

Hyperbole. He's a guy that can still be a good contributor but needs a change of scenery.

 

[CupInSIX]

This guy can't be a regular with either Braun or Myers. It's not like he has lost a step like Gardiner, either.

For the cap/term, a team is better off throwing money at Barrie as a UFA.

 

[nickdawg95]

ghost is a borderline cap dump.

 

[Mobiandi]

He'll go for a 3rd + tweener

If Dumba comes back for Ghost, we lose either Dumba or whichever of Lindblom/Konecny we don't protect in the draft (our 7/3 is Giroux/Hayes/Couturier/Lindblom/Konecny/two of Voracek/Patrick/Laughton, Farabee and Frost not eligible, and Provorov/Sanheim/Myers. If we go 4/4, to protect the 3D and Dumba, we have to protect G and Hayes, Couts is obvious, but we lose either OL or TK.)

Yep, you aren't going to build a winning team with this guy on it.
