Ghost on Waivers

[Brawndo]

 

[Thorner]

claim?

[Randall Flagg]

He fell pretty far

[darksabre]

Wow

[dudacek]

Kinda their Montour, no?

$4.5 million for two more years after this.

65 points three years ago, 61 points combined in the three years since.

[inkman]

The worst team this league has seen in a decade has no business passing up on this guy

His cap hit is 4.5M but his salary the next 2 years is 3.25M, not that I necessarily want him but he does play the left side, not one of our strengths. Would a change of scenery help him out?

[thewookie1]

I'd claim him, at minimum he'd be expansion bait. At best he could figure it out again and be a great offensive defenseman. Not to mention we are a tad short on Dmen once we trade Montour with all our present injuries.

ouch

[darksabre]

Fwiw my buddy who is a Philly fan thinks this is dumb and that Fletcher/Vignault are scapegoating him. 

[Eleven]

I remember saying that he should have won the Calder instead of Panarin.

The stats say no. Positive corsi until this season. PDO is below 100 so some bad luck this year. Positive possession quality. Hard to tell without having watched him but seems serviceable.

Sounds like we should claim him

Maybe? If he's not a dumpster fire that begs the question why is he being waived. 

[Torpedo Forecheck]

No interest. I feel like another defenseman who he is small, weak and can't defend is not what we need.

[Marvin]

Very strange.  That salary and term gives me pause, but it does push Matt Irwin off the main roster.

He was amazing as a rookie...what happened to this guy?

[Weave]

It’s a trap!

Ghostisbehere on this team will be a Chernobyl sized dumpster fire. He needs to be on a team that wants to run and gun, has a solid guy they can pair him with who can defend, a good goaltender, and enough offense in general to overcome his utter lack of defense.

Why don’t we want to run and gun?

[Buffalonill]

Stay away from marc andre bergeron

He’s better than Irwin, Miller and Montour.  Probably Risto too.  So what’s the problem?

[John Tucker]

Gostisbehere is only a -1 on a bad defensive team.  I remember seeing a bunch of folks on here wanting us to trade for Phillipe Myers.  He's a -13 on the same team.  Didn't Gostisbehere have a major knee problem a year or two ago?  Maybe that's affecting his play?  Dunno... Wouldn't hurt to take a chance on him.  Hell, put him on the wing.
