Confirmed with Link: Steve Yzerman did a thing: Shayne Gostisbehere signs for one year

[norrisnick]

Yes, because taking icetime and growth opportunities away from your #1 franchise piece with some stat-suppressing penny-pinching fantasy is best for the future of this franchise.

Not to mention Seider has more PPP than Ghost over the last 2 years with very similar PP ice time.

This idea that we need a new PPQB is very strange. We need better left shot wings if Kubalik is going to keep getting yanked off the PP.

Who knew we were going to resurrect the 2D PP?

I wish we gave him and Sprong 2-3 year deals

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Well, I’m not mad. He essentially replaces Hronek.

Walman - Seider
Maatta - Ghost
Chiarot - Holl

Edvinsson steps in when healthy and Maatta is dealt at the deadline or we give Chiarot away?

I AM PSYCHIC!!!

Gladly eating crow on this signing so far. Fantastic start to the year

 

[Run the Jewels]

We needed guys who can score goals: Gostisbehere and DeBrincat were great additions.

I don't think Sprong and Joey would be playing the same way if they got longer term deals. They're playing for a contract. Ghost though... he's scoring because he has skills, and his D isn't as bad as I expected. Wish he got 3 and Holl got 1 yr.

TDL will be interesting, if Ghost doesn't re-sign, does Stevie trade him for a first or keep him o make the playoffs? And if Ghost re-signs, then someone needs to get traded next offseason.... probably Maatta.

Funny thought: Remember when people here wanted Klingberg? LOL.

Bump a month in after a hot start. How's about now? Ghost doesn't have an even strength point since before Christmas...

 

[Detroit Knights]

well this was not a nice thing to do because I thought ghost got traded when I read the beginning part of this thread title.

Welcome to my world with all the other bumps on HFBoards

AJo will be upgrade over Ghost. Not as good offensively, but better defensively and much cheaper
