Agreeing with other Flyers fans on here. Do not like the total value coming back. Trading Ghost who you are going to slot in on a friendly deal on your first pair, not happy getting back Byron who is 30 and a career high of 43 points, and Shaw who is a pretty healthy cap hit for a "character guy" who is also not going to put up more than 30-40 points. 3.9 and 3.4 is 7.3 mil in cap between them, Ghost is only 4.5, so MTL is saving $2.8 mil in the deal. The prospect coming back, former 7th round pick who is 23 and hasn't played a game in the NHL yet, no thanks, we've got enough prospects. We need a 3rd line RW but I'd rather promote our own talent rather than swap Ghost and Ratcliffe for 3rd line guys. Only way I see this happening is at the Draft and we get back your 1st rounder at 15th overall to take a guy that our scouts are super high on that falls, maybe a Krebs because of his injury. Even then, no thank you
