You do NOT trade a D-man with this much offensive upside like Ghost.

You just don't.

The return would have to be so big.

I like the Braun pickup. The Flyers D is a little less inexperienced. I could see a big turn around in plus minus which is always a good thing. Ghost and Provo had major issues there last year.

I ran the simulations thru the panictron, and it came back with a 27.211% chance of bedlam and dominos.

Panthers will get both Panarin and Bobrovsky.

Panthers will address horrid defense with trades, most likely involving Hoffman.

Ghost is coming off a down year so the return will not be “so big” from anybody now! you either think most of the gm’s are stupid or once again as a flyer fan you are over rating a player on your team. If he plays well this year you might get your “so big” return at the deadline.......now? Not so much!

He's 26 and his cap hit is $4.5M until 2022.

In his 'down year,' only McDonagh, Rielly, Spurgeon, Krug, Seth Jones, Ristolainen, Trouba, Petry, etc. had more points than him if you look at cap-hit comparable D-men/before you get into the $5-9M/year players.

Points-scored does not a good defenseman make, but still... he's a steal for what he is (a 1st PP QB and top-4 pairing defenseman). Makes me wish there was a WAR-esque stat in hockey to sort of show overall player value.

After the horrible Trouba trade, if Chevy now trades Ehlers for Faulk, he better hire security in Winnipeg

Dunno if Faulk would waive, though. Has a 15 team NTC and it's pretty likely that Winnipeg is one of those 15.

Corsi is actually a pretty good stat for evaluating D. Since it's based on shot attempts, if it's high it means the D man keeps the other team away from his net and keeps his team on the offensive. Corsi For % might be even better.

Of course, you're always going to have the fact that there are 4 other guys on the ice factoring into all this. I'd hope your Corsi is higher if you play with McDavid/Ovechkin/Stamkos, etc.

Corsi

Yeah player gets pinned in his zone for 30 seconds, but teammate takes a shot that misses by 10 feet...means AWESOME!
