I don't mind the deals in a vaccuum but my is playing Lybushkin over Romanov. To me this is the equivalent of playing Danault higher up the lineup than KK because he is a vet. Romanov has played well and earned his ice time all season, he does not deserve to be demoted for someone not much better than Mete or Kulak. TBH though I wouldn't mind taking a swing at claiming Ghost, I know it would take some cap gymnastics and that he does have defensive issues but we have enough defensive defensemen to take care of that side of the puck. What we really need is a guy who can drive the play from the backend, Ghost does this. Whether he was to play with Weber or Petry Ghost would have someone better defensively on his pairing to cover for him. Even Romanov on the 3rd pairing would be able to cover for Ghost's mishaps. For me our best option would be to send Chiarot to LTIR and claim or trade for Ghost.
