Ghost’s replacement… much better defensively, a little worse offensively

 

[Spitfire11]

On the positive side at least our crappy D signings are getting cheaper and shorter term

 

[Frk It]

This dude has put up 73 pts over the last 2 seasons? I'll be damned.

(pretty good possession metrics too)

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Will reunite with Kane and Debrincat on the PP.

Ghost’s replacement… much better defensively, a little worse offensively

This. Rangers fans loved his offense and he was reliable enough on D. For what Ghost would have wanted and what he brings, 2 x 2M for Gustafsson is excellent relative value

Idk if he plays RD but he could be a nice fit next to Ed?

He had 6G 25 A for the Rangers and was a + 6

 

[Ulysses31]

better than walman?

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Some D have to move out. If Ed starts the year in GR, I will lose my mind.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Agree with everyone calling him a Gostisbehere replacement. Good familiarity with Cat and Kane. I like the signing. Steve not losing his damn mind, totally saw that one coming.

 

[GreatGordie9]

Stevie had to do a lot of navigating around the cap with Seider and Raymond not yet signed.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

better than walman?

Better offensively, worse defensively

 

[Sparty]

With this I'm going to assume the Trouba deal is no longer being pursued and we want to stick it to the Rangers a little bit more.

I like him for what he was when he first started playing in Chicago. DIdn't get to watch as much later on and also his 2nd run with the Hawks.

Jake Walman had 39 points at last seasons.

 

[Henkka]

8 teams at last 5 seasons.

Guy must be sick of moving.

Familiar names on that 2018-19 season team....

 

[AlwaysSunnyInDetroit]

i'd rather have kept walman and traded 2 2nds and a 3rd for the 24th pick but whatevs

 

[SirloinUB]

I like this as a Gost replacement but if feels like we are now back in the spot where yzerman needs to moves a D.

Seider
Petry
Holl
Gustafsson
Chairot
Maatta
Johansson
Edvinsson

Welcome to Hockeytown Ghöst!

It's Spöke.

 

[Henkka]

Shayne Gostisbehere, last 399 NHL games, 60+157=217 points, (-70 at plusminus) 0.54 points/game.

Erik Gustafsson, last 414 NHL games, 45+163=208 points, (-7 at plusminus) 0.50 points/game.

Gostisbehre asking for 5-6 million?
Gustafsson signed for 2 million.

Yzerman going moneyball again...

 

[14ari13]

On the positive side at least our crappy D signings are getting cheaper and shorter term

And no ntc

 

[OldnotDeadWings]

Vastly preferable signing to bringing back Ghost at price/term he might be looking for.

Don’t forget Lagesson

Don’t forget Lagesson

Ahl tweener/depth. I’m not concerned about him in terms of nhl roster construction
