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

They surely must have another move in the works and think York is ready to take over on the 3rd pair and PP2.

Wow. Giving up picks to free up cap space. Team Action Bias is going to be VERY happy this off season.


(frank)ing brutal.

Gostisbehere trade value. Literally zero.

With all due respect it's Less Than Zero. (movie title)

2022 2nd for Ghost

Solid triple right there

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

They could have had him for free last year when they waived him, so I'm fine with 2 picks and no salary retained

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.
- dubc55

really didn't LOL... This has to be part 1 of a move, why spend those assets to move Ghost.

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

How do you think Ghost feels knowing that?

Honestly it is a bad trade for Fletcher, but to add two assets just to get rid of someone means its a desperate situation.

He doesn't care, he will count his money and hug his little dogs wearing sweaters.

Yahoo sports, take it for what it's worth. Entertainment.

Think of what it will cost to move Voracek.

THis is the final nail in the coffin of this Ghost story.

Fans overvalued him.

Nobody wanted him on waivers.
Seattle didn't want him in the expansion draft.

Now Philly had to throw in a 2nd rd pick to get rid of him....for cap space.

It's over. Reality wins again.

Someone tell me if I'm wrong but Fletcher didn't need to clear space to re-sign Hart, Sanheim and a backup goalie right?

So there must be something else in the works?

These are the bad times.

That is a bad (frank)ing trade.

even better lol

Do you think York could?

I mean people called me a dummy when I said York must be replacing Ghost after they drafted him....on THIS board.

This goes to show: Voracek contract without retention will require more than a #13 pick to move.

Still think he wants another RHD. Cant have Ellis as the only pick up this year

The cost is prohibitive.

Did they? I think literally EVERYONE thought that was the goal.

A 1st round pick at minimum with retained salary.

can you really call that a trade if you dont get anything back?

Wonder if this was offered to Seattle and Francis turned down 2 picks for the contract.
