Confirmed with Link: Shayne Gostisbehere Signs Multi-Year Extension (Six Years $4.5M Per)

[FlyTimmo]

Great Deal. Ghost will prove next year that he is worth 5-6

 

[The Madrigal]

I will break it down real simply.

If Ghost ends up regressing a little bit and ends up being a 30 point PP specialist he will end up being a little bit overpaid.

If Ghost remains a 40 point, 2nd pairing level D that is a solid deal.

If he continues to get a little bit better on defense and/or becomes a 50 point player that contract is going to look awfully good in two or three years.

I just don't see much downside to this deal.

and, even then, if we ever had to trade Ghost, it's a very tradeable contract.

In other words (or, rather, almost the same words), exactly what I said on the main boards?

Gostisbehere doesn't need to have any upward trajectory to be good value over the life of the deal.

If he regresses to a 30 point PP specialist, he'd only be marginally overpaid.

If he stagnates as a 40 point mid-pair offensive defender, he'll be fairly paid (probably underpaid, tbh).

If he continues improving to a 50+ point two-way defender (which he was as a rookie), he'll be a big steal.


Long term deals for young players who have already performed well and proven themselves, as Gosistebehere has, have less risk than bridge deals where you may end up paying out the ass once it expires.

Ghoooooooooost

Imitation is the sincerest form of thievery.

 

[SuchySays]

Great deal omg

 

[Curufinwe]

$27M to a guy who was a healthy scratch on several occasions this past year.

So who is the deranged person: the GM or the coach?

Hexy loves giving multi million dollar deals to guys who were healthy scratches in their contract seasons.

Did it with MDZ.

Did it with Schenn.

Did it with Ghost.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Gostisbehere's contract is front loaded. Nice job by Hexy getting ghost long team through his prime.

Cap hit per season 4.5M
2017-18: $6M
2018-19: $6M
2019-20: $5.25M

This is bad even for Tim P.

What did he say?

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

Party time!

 

[Damaged Goods]

What did he say?

That Ghost was no longer at risk in the Expansion Draft because of the new contract

 

[Curufinwe]

what did he say?

 

[BillDineen]

What did he say?

Curu posted it at the same time as I did so I deleted it.

He said Ghost was signed to avoid losing him in the ED.

 

[Rebels57]

Ronald is just the best! Honey of a deal.

He must have deleted it. I don't see it on his timeline. What a ****ing dunce.

 

[Tripod]

Hard to ****ing believe these guys get paid to talk hockey.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Rob Ellis and Panotch what a duo. It's amazing how many people wanted a 3 year deal. Blows my mind.

I dig the deal. He'll be well worth it.

 

[Tripod]

Since I have not seen it yet, time to break out the happy dance.



Poor Captain is sleeping/sweating, dreaming about snakes, and missing out on the good news.

 

[The Madrigal]

Not saying much but Rob Ellis is one of the best in the Philly sports media.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

ill take credit for this contract since I wore my Gostisbehere Flyers shirt today

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

He's a dope too. But the bar isn't set too high for Philly media.
