some overvalue what our guys are worth and some undervalue

"You owe us big time next trade!"

More likely Kessel and an abnormal pack of 5 hot dogs.

For a 2nd and a 7th!


Holy poop Chuck!

Chucky the Pantload gave up the picks. Flyers got nothing from Arizona.

"Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports that the Flyers will receive a 2022 second-round pick and a 2022 seventh-round pick."

Not bad
- dramado

Pretty sure its the other way around.

"[Morton] The particulars: Gostisbehere (sorry, missed an S in the first tweet) plus 2022 2nd-round and 7th-round picks coming to AZ. Nothing going back to Philly; just like the Andrew Ladd deal."

For a 2nd and a 7th!


Holy poop Chuck!

NM, we are sending Ghost, a 2nd and a 7th TO Arizona.

Oh well, I guess that gives us some cap relief.

Flyers gave up a 2nd and 7th just for Yotes to take full cap hit

Friedman just tweeted he typed it wrong. We gave up the picks.

For a 2nd and a 7th!

3 other teams were in on Ghost, guess that destroys this boards idea that Ghost was worth Zip due to contract

Now they'll turn around and spent the money on a future regrettable contract.

Ok that sounds more like the value of Ghost...damnit it's 2022 too, so even more value.

I mean Tarasenko at 1/2 salary, if healthy that is pretty good. Would hate the Devils getting him and him having a bounce back

If we gave up assets to get cap relief then Chuck 1000% has another move up his sleeve.

Also the price for cap relief is steep. Can’t imagine what it would take to trade Jake or JVR. Easily a 1st

it COST us a 2nd and a 7th to get rid of him.

Say that again?

I've never said Seattle should take those players.
- dubc55

Fine. But my point was that they seem to be (early days yet!) essentially doing a start-from-scratch build that you advocate for us as well.

The fact that we started 54 years earlier doesn't seem relevant. It seems to me to be a good strategy building a club at any point of the club's existence.

see what happens to everyone that said, no one wants him, he was on waivers and someone could've had him for free.

Gostisbehere trade value. Literally zero.

Christ...they must have really been worried about his presence in the room. That feels like a lot when it probably would have been easier just to trade him at 30-40% retained and no picks

Bag of chips = cap space

says Jets and one other were in on Ghost

If chuck spent a 2nd and 7th to move Ghost I just dont get it, unless he has other deals and has no choice but to move the cap out.

Gostisbehere trade value. Literally zero.
- PLindbergh31

Isn't it literally negative, with the 2nd and 7th having to be thrown in?

- bradster

They were wrong, they couldn't have him for free...they had to get paid to take him for free too.

Yup.

This comment didn't age very well did it. Oh well, Ghost is gone, we get some cap relief. But Ghost actually had negative value.

Gostisbehere trade value. Literally zero.
- PLindbergh31

Wow. Now I don't feel so good about this trade. Hoping there is more to come to make up for this.
