Confirmed Trade: [ARI/PHI] Shayne Gostisbehere, 2022 2nd, 2022 7th (STL) for future considerations

[hamzarocks]

Nvm makes sense now

Damn the Yotes have 2nd round picks for days

 

[Rockomax]

I would be irate. That’s horrendous.

ghost is NOT a cap dump.

Sure looks like he was in the end

 

[kihei]

A prime example of what a dumbass of a GM the Kraken are stuck with. Those picks could have been going to Seattle.

 

[PensandCaps]

And yet, he was traded as a cap dump. at your service

I don't think a 2nd and a 7th is all that high of a price to clear 4.5 mil.

People acting like Philly needed to give up a 1st sounded insane.

Very good deal for Arizona though, They'll easily get more picks out of him at next seasons TDL.

Sure looks like he was in the end

Because Fletcher is a f***ing idiot.

This didn't age well.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

I'm not surprised Philly didn't have to add to unload Gost (whose contract isn't that bad), but I am quite surprised they got an actual return for him in this environment.

Not sure what this really accomplishes for Arizona.

They did add. A 2nd and a 7th, with nothing coming their way.

 

[Dancing Plague]

Seattle's loss is Arizona's gain. I would take that deal all day if I had the cap space.

 

[Canadienna]

I would have taken on his contract on the Habs for a lot less.

Nice pickup by AZ

 

[RationalExpectations]

I don't think a 2nd and a 7th is all that high of a price to clear 4.5 mil.

But it is still a cap dump, else you get a positive return !

 

[KingsFan7824]

Well that's the price... What horrible asset management by the Flyers when they had a chance to move him last offseason and actually get something back.

What was the chance?

 

[Insulin]

Only thing worse than this trade is what Fletcher is going to do with that money.

 

[Colt55]

Yotes got ghost and picks for nothing? Cap dump. Phi must really want tarasenko. Lol I kid I kid

 

[BruinsBtn]

I guess Seattle wasn't interested in Ghost plus a 2nd round pick, if it meant passing up the chance to select Carsen Twarynski

I'm starting to get the sense that Francis alienated a few GMs

 

[PAZ]

A prime example of what a dumbass of a GM the Kraken are stuck with. Those picks could have been going to Seattle.

You mean it would've made sense for Seattle to give up a 2nd to dump Ghost after drafting him because nobody in the league wants him? Sure.

 

[namttebih]

At this rate the Yotes are going to run out of "future considerations"

 

[SnS]

This didn't age well.

doesnt matter what Fletcher thinks. He’s a f***ing moron.

 

[violaswallet]

lol you're on drugs

lol, I'd say the analysis I gave (Ghost is worth about a 2nd and a bit more and that they would try to bargain to a first) is pretty damn close.

Oh definitely and PHI could clear cap this way. Not saying it is a bad proposal, seems quite reasonable actually but I wonder if PHI which did not look like a contender would be ready to part with their 1st this year

Looks like they didn't want to give up the first.

Close

Yep, no cigar: I think the Coyotes eventually need to trade up the seconds into firsts though or they're in a rough boat.

 

[13to40]

Good trade for the Yotes. Can maybe flip him again for more assets next TDL.

 

[Rangers ftw]

He was perhaps the best D-man on the team last season. Not sure what you watched

Doesn’t say a lot considering his value obviously.

100%. I remember McPhee walking out with a bunch of 2nds after it was all said and done. Obviously he fleeced a few teams too and that’s what Francis was trying to do. But Seattle should be the team with 3 2nds this year and 4 next year. But instead it’s Arizona. Props to Bill Armstrong.

 

[Piffle]

He was perhaps the best D-man on the team last season. Not sure what you watched

Flyers would not have paid a 2nd to dump their best defenseman.

 

[PensandCaps]

But it is still a cap dump, else you get a positive return !

I don't think anyone would argue that Philly needed to give something up to take his contract. Just not something absurd like a 1st, like many were suggesting.

 

[The don godfather]

How many 2nd round picks does Armstrong have ? Jeez those are like silver nuggets.

 

[Dirty Dog]

I would be irate. That’s horrendous.

ghost is NOT a cap dump.

Oh but he was!

 

[hamzarocks]

The flyers young hyped defense from back in 2014-2016 days is basically gone

Morin is a bust
Ghost fell off due to injuries and is a cap dump
Myers moved out (though got Ellis which is a good trade)
Hagg sucks

Luckily for them Provorov and Sanheim are good 1st and 2nd pairing options and they have York + that guy with first name starting with Z who are quite good
