While I do think Ghost is on his way out, I think people are overblowing the waivers thing which is more about COVID as the Flyers were calling people up at the time and needed some room. Similar to Byron I would say. But I do think he gets traded for less than what you'd want, though I doubt its a 7th D, AHL D and a 5th.

2ndfke komarov though and agreed. Or 3rd + aho

Typo thread.

Yotes and Preds decline

Fair enough but it doesn’t look good if teams could’ve had him for free and didn’t take him. I’m a big fan of his, always have been. If the Isles had the cap last year I would’ve liked to see them pick him up. I would go up to a 3rd or 4th but I don’t see an NHL level player going the other way unless its someone overpaid like Subban and salary retention is involved

Going off the NYR Staal trade which was a second and he had almost double salary that Komarov has hence why I said a 3rd. If adding Aho its just him. Not getting Komarov Aho and a pick

Well NSH would have no interest in that. Eberle doesn't make sense for that team and the prospects are not that inspiring either. Seems like a rather generic offer for NSH's best offensive forward, retained. Preds pass.

Yeah but isles are in a cap crunch and it's a flat cap and people have to protect against expansion. Lots of other factors right now. 3rd + aho or 2nd is fair

Yeah, I get that he was "free" but I think my point stands. If you're a competing team like the Islanders, do you have 4.5 million for 3 more years laying around without any money going out? But I do agree it won't be a great return if he is the main piece. I'd take a 2nd if it was offered probably, as much as I like him.

Not enough to Arizona or Nashville

keep in mind that waivers are only 24 hours. so if someone did want Ghost and had to make some room to make it work; they didn't have any time as they would have thrown someone on waivers or sent someone to the minors themselves. Like bluspy said; it was paper to move to free up some cap space for us to have some wiggle room with call-ups.

If he were really that bad; after clearing we would have sent him to Lehigh Valley. Instead he dressed the vast majority of the rest of the season for us,

Staal had a salary of 3.2 million (his bonus was already paid) and he played in a position where Detroit needed help, Komarov doesn't.

A 2nd or a prospect like Holmström and we'll likely accept.
