Detroit has no use for a 33 year old rental.
Our prospects on RD are at least two and probably three years away from making an impact in the NHL. That's why we have Holl for three years and Chiarot for three years.
Our prospects on LD are banging on the door to the NHL. That's why we have Ghost on an expiring deal so that he can be traded at the TDL.
Ghost was signed as an UFA, for the specific purpose to be a stop-gap until the TDL and then be dealt for a profit. Brodie is costing us, in this deal, more than we would get back at the TDL if we tried to trade him and we'd have nothig to replace him with if we did trade him.
