Thread: If we are trading for Karlsson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NateElder12</b></div><div>Sorry I read the contract wrong. 4 or 5 years isn't the issue. But guys like Sanheim/Myers have 6 to 9+ years of team control (not contract term). Ghost doesn't. He rips other people when they offer Sanheim or Myers/1st/Ratcliffe/2nd/Hogberg but claims this is exactly fair. Also, his reasoning for why Ghost needs to be traded is because in his opinion Ghost and EK are the same thing and could never coexist on the same team. Not because it makes a deal more fair, but because we can't afford to pay Ghost all that money if he's on PP2 and there is no way that he could bring himself to remove Provorov form PP2. In turn, he justifies an EK contract by saying he'll be on the 2nd pairing at ES where the majority of the game occurs which is completely contradictory. The logic behind the deals, the mindset of assets like Ghost being expendable, and the fact that tactics/game plans can't be adjusted to accommodate superstar players is baffling and in turn gave him a 1 star. By this logic we should trade Lindblom because we signed JVR, trade NAK because he resigns Simmonds, etc. He one stars every Flyers fan that puts Sanheim or Myers in a trade so I don't know why he's complaining about me rating his reasoning for trading Ghost where it belongs. I'd give this a 3 but when you hear the reasoning it's easily a 1.</div></div>

I just thought you were being on the side of OTT saying they wouldn't accept Ghost because he's signed for "only" 5 years. Everything else is up for debate and probably shouldn't be taken too seriously because there are like 100 Armchair GM proposals an hour.

This particular proposal, I'd take Ratcliffe away, or like I think you're suggesting.... add a different D prospect trying to keep Ghost.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NateElder12</b></div><div>lol if you think OTT is five years away once they get Ghost then idk what to tell you</div></div>

I don't understand. First you said OTT needed a player that was signed more than 4 years (Ghost). I told you that he is signed for 5 years. What do you want him signed for 25 years or something??

And your new statement makes me unsure if you're saying they need longer? Or are you saying that Ghost makes them ready to build in under the 5 years? You're being extremely vague here.
Not only are you getting Gostisbehere for a great price, but you're getting a 1st round pick (that you don't have), and a promising Power Forward prospect in Ratcliffe.

I'm just so confused by your one sentence answer.
