Ghost is still Ghost and doing well, similar to his good (not best) years here. He's playing on a fun team, that plays to his strengths in Carolina. Provorov went to Columbus who I regularly forget has a hockey team. I think he's continuing to be nothing special, so fading into obscurity for him.

Actually, Provorov may be having his best season since being paired with Niskanen, playing on the right side with Werenski, now on the left with Stevenson (Fabbro being paired with Werenski his first game).
Which isn't a suprise, Provorov is a solid D-man, it's just that he flatlined early.
We got a 1st, (2) 2nds, Walker and Grans for him and taking Pederson.
So that worked out fine.

Duchene did get bought out by Nashville. Not sure what happened, but they are getting hit with big cap penalties this year and next year.

I guess they bought him out to sign O'Reilly. Hasn't really paid off for them. At least Duchene still has that hunger to win a Stanley Cup. O'Reilly hasn't been the same since 2019.Duchene did get bought out by Nashville. Not sure what happened, but they are getting hit with big cap penalties this year and next year.

While I wanted neither, I remember the Hayes > Duchene arguments that summer. Duchene isn’t on that contract anymore, but that’s really just an example of smart teams buy low and don’t sign non-Panarin UFAs to max term.
I almost forgot Kev was on the Penguins. That checks out.

Don't think Duchene was interested in the Flyers.
People like to treat FAs like it's EA2024 GM mode, as if players don't get to make a choice.
Once money hits a certain level, most players tend to make decisions based on team, location, family issues, etc. Certain players love NYC (Panarin, Fox), certain players want a low key city, some are influenced by state taxes, other by climate, other by their wife's preference. Giroux, for example.

Wow. The way that is all laid out, it sounds like it would be incredibly dumb to give away a draft pick for a guy about to be a free agent before a single game has been played. Only the franchise dregs of pro sports would probably have to resort to that.

Flyers never wanted Duchene, and wanted people to know that. My service rep totally buried him when we talked after that season, and it wasn’t even like I talked him up, we were just talking about guys. Very weird, I had never heard that.

Only took him 2 games. Cutter is at 16 and counting.
I wasn't even his biggest fan but nothing screams that was the perfect trade-back draft when Cutter goes 5th overall and Lekkerimäki goes ten picks later all because Cutter was 6'2 and could fake as a center. Lekkerimäki had every bit the shot, if not a better one and a little more self creation.
Kemell went 17th. Kulich 28th. As similar types.
