Shaw is a dick and nobody likes him.
If that is the case, maybe he is getting Shaw-pped around for that reason

I also prefer Leddy to Ghost but at the same time I keep telling myself that the one thing that has to improve is the PP and that’s Ghost’s bread and butter.
Trade for Ghost and Ehlers and call it a summer!!
I'd rather make trades than sign some of these disgusting cap hits that have been going around so far this seasonIt’s FREE agent season. We need to grab FREE players.
I agree we can manage one trade but multiple hmmm
Gost is one year removed from a 33 PP point season. He'd help us big time.
If we can pair Mete with Weber, we can definitely pair Gost with him.
And Gost with Petry doesn't make a whole lot of sense as they've got similar skillsets.
Weber dishes off the puck to his partners and is a stay behind type of player. Adding Gost to the pairing makes it far more mobile and Weber can help to make up for some defensive lapses. Weber doesn't really move the needle possession wise but Gost does. Put them together and I think it would be a pretty good pairing.
I wonder if you take Sekera you could get Puljuarvi for cheap

I think we need to go after Vegas hard the have zero cap space to sign and any UFA or RFA (Gusev / Karlsson / Subban)
Looking at the depth charts Clarkson need to go ASAP...
he a great cap dump for Mtl since it is only 1 year on the LTIR and Vegas have plenty of guy that they can use to sweeten the deal.
Mike Hoffman for Lehkonen.
We get the right to talk to his agent about a contract extension first.
Clarkson can be placed on LTIR before the season starts but this space affects the ELC performance bonus room I believe. As far as I can tell, this is $0 at the moment so there are no issues with them keeping Clarkson.

Ghost isn't simply Mete with offence. Mete is actually a solid defender. It's literally the only reason he's in the NHL. So I have a hard time accepting the premise that if Mete can play with him than Ghost definitely can.
I think he helps the PP a lot. Does he make us the best in the league? No. But it's a hell of a lot better than having Mete back there.He'd be a nice add but he doesn't fix the problems with our powerplay. We lacked a true goal scoring threat outside of Weber. 33 points with the Flyers 2 years ago is nice, but they had PP threats. If we had a Galchenyuk type PP threat last year we'd probably have had an average powerplay and Drouin with close to 30 powerplay points.
I don't think Mete's the defender you do. He (along with everyone else) was drowning without Weber. He's not a top pairing blueliner and Gost is. It's a much better fit and we get to move Mete down the lineup (as we should.)Ghost isn't simply Mete with offence. Mete is actually a solid defender. It's literally the only reason he's in the NHL. So I have a hard time accepting the premise that if Mete can play with him than Ghost definitely can.
Petry makes some pretty terrible gaffes himself. He belongs on the 2nd pair and when he's moved up he gets exposed badly.Not really. Petry is a well rounded 2 way defender that does everything pretty well while Ghost is an offensive 1st defender who gets lost at times in the defensive zone. He's not a PP specialist, but he's not a minute eater either. It's why playing softer minutes, getting mainly O-Zone time with Petry is a better option than Weber in my opinion.
I think if you put him with Weber it mitigates the weaknesses of both players and generates more offense. Both are top pairing guys and they'd be great together in my opinion.Ghost isn't "far more mobile" than Mete. He's a waaaaaaaaay better offensive player. That's it. Play Ghost offensively, like the Flyers have for 4 years, like almost every other top 20 point getting defender in the NHL, and you have to make up for his lapses less often.
Meh, CJ can play around with his usage. Maybe he's used more on the PP than the PK. I agree he's got some shortcomings but I don't think he's a trainwreck either.I'm not saying we shouldn't add him. He's a legit #3 defender that can give you 1/2 upside in a given year. But there is a reason 17 of the top 20 point getting defenders get mainly 0-zone time. You take advantage of their strengths. You don't put Ghost on the ice for hard defensive minutes making him take the puck 200 feet all night.
I wonder if you take Sekera you could get Puljuarvi for cheap
Tuch might be a guy they don’t want to move odd man out would likely be Smith...Clarkson ain't going to be enough for them, if they want to Karlsson and fill their team, they need shed a lot more salary than that.
But you are right...they are on of the teams that we can take advantage of..
Without taking on Karlsson, wonder what the price is on Alex Tuch.
Wonder also what the prices are on Kapanen and Johnsson in Tonroto too.
But why?? We shoul be taking bad contractsI wonder if you take Sekera you could get Puljuarvi for cheap
Tuch might be a guy they don’t want to move odd man out would likely be Smith...
Smith
Clarkson
Would free up 10m$
I'd be curious to know where you heard that ? ? ?With the announcement of the draft next year in Montreal. And our team still in a retool, id like to start trying to move for the future. Shaw, petry, Byron
