I don't mind the idea of getting Ghost but it's kind of an addition to what we already have. He is a worse if not the same replica of Tyson Barrie. Good offensively but not good defensively. The way Barrie has been playing he's not going to be the 7th Dman so in that case you would run Kulak - Barrie, Ghost - Bouchard.
Does that not seem like an excess of guy's who aren't great in their own end? Can you trust to put Ghost, Bouch, or Barrie on the ice against Colorado's top line or are we going to be worrying the entire shift about them making a d zone mistake.
When Tampa won they had Serg - Hedman - Cernak - McDonaugh who were all solid defensively. Yes they preferred McD and Cernak against the other teams best but if either of the two pairings were caught out on the ice it wasn't a full panick.
For this reason I think a guy like Edmunson might be a better fit. Just to provide Bouch some stability and confidence in our own end.
