Thread: Chucky Two Trades Gets Aggressive
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>flyersarephilly</b></div><div>In this draft I would center a package around a late first and most likely a roster player. I've seen a lot of trades like Jost and a first for Kreider and I would 100% rather that over just Ghost. I understand that two seasons ago ghost had 65 points but he has not seemed like that player at all since his first injury and now with his knee injury who knows how that will effect his dynamic skating ability. At his best Ghost would probably be their best Dman in the offensive zone and passable in his own zone but like i said he hasn't shown that in the past two years since his 65 point season and this is coming from someone who is a big fan of Ghost</div></div>

That's a fair assessment. The whole scenario is just so different obviously without the significantly larger health problems the Flyers are dealing with, and it isn't right to think about hockey in terms of Lindblom and Patrick. The Flyers just don't have a player like Jost who's expendable. A prospect package of O'Brien, Rubstov/Rubstov, and a pick may interest them, but they'd have to retain significant salary.

If you're the Rangers, you'd rather a first round pick then the opportunity to have someone like Ghost at a very reasonable cap hit for the next 4 years? Ghost at his best is better than anyone on their blue line. With a change of scenery, I think that could easily reinvigorate him to returning to his true form. However, they are in a tough spot with both Stall and Smith still on the books for another year after this. I understand, but I'd be hard pressed to say a package centered around a late first round pick is better than a known entity in Ghost.
