Quoting: Jaycee
You got that wrong because Fletcher has made it known to the media he isn’t shopping Ghost or the 11th pick. He’s allowing teams to come to him about the. He stressed he doesn’t have to part with either unlesss a significant piece is in return. So to say Fletcher came to MTL bc he wants Shaw is dumb. That deal would’ve been done by now if all he wanted was Shaw in return. Ghost won’t be moved unless it’s worth it.
Sounds like the lie MB told the Media about Subban and Pacioretty .
MTL's heard our GM say that same thing then 2 weeks later explain why he had to lie to avoid de-valuing the player.
As far as Shaw being moved in the bundle , as i always do after the trades happen
i'll be back to remind you who's theories were based on reality.
Ghost will get moved as confirmed by the Acquisition of top 4 RD Niskanen and Braun have confirmed that much and made it obvious to even non hockey fans with no experience in these matters .
Provorov -Niskanen
Sanheim-Braun
with Sanheim's breakout year last season offensively you wont see him losing his top 4 spot for Ghost
Sanheim has the potential to be better the Ghost so there is no upside.
you'll see Ghost traded for a top 20 pick this year whether its MTL or someone else given the RD prospects residing there .
other pieces may be involved but they'll be Picks not prospects .
Ghost may get value but that will come in the form of high draft picks ,you're not getting established Talent or top Amateur prospects for a D who plays under 20 minutes on average . Petry had more Potential , was younger and cost us a 2nd and a conditional 5th . Ghost has term where Petry had 3 weeks left on his rights so you're looking at a 1st and a late 2nd guaranteed in a Shaw deal .
