If you are looking to play Ghost for 3 years, then I guess it's ok for the penguins.
Personally I don't like it.
The buyout on Ghost is awful.
The penguins would have a much easier time moving JJ than Ghost if they wanted to dump the final 2 years of the contract.
JJ buyout in the final 2 years.
$1,125,000, $1,875,000, $875,000, $875,000
an actual buyout cost of $3,500,000
Ghost buyout is .
$3,833,333, $3,833,333, $333,333, $333,333
an actual buyout cost of $1,333,333.
In other words, you can't really save cap in buying out Ghost.
It's a non starter. if you are trying to move him to another team.
JJ is much easier to trade.
