To be fair, ghost is a shadow of himself since his knee surgey and was a healthy scratch multiple times over the last 2 seasons as well as this playoffs. His cap hit is now something you will have to pay to get rid of. Ghost + 2020 2nd + 2022 2nd for perlini is all we would except. We are not taking bad contracts for free at this time
Ok, seems to me that u like gambling
How about that: Detroit takes Ghost + 2020 2nd + 2022 2nd. Forget about Perlini, Flyers have enough similar prospects and no space for him. Instead of Perlini i would take your 2020 5th + a conditional pick in 2021; conditions are:
7th when at least 30 games played or healthy scratch;
6th when at least 60 games played or healthy scratch;
5th (like 6th) + 10 pts scored;
4th (like 6th) + 20 pts;
3rd 30 pts or higher;
2nd 45 pts or higher;
1st 50 pts + 1 point per game or higher
If Ghost is as bad as u assume, u get two 2nd round picks for one 5th; if he is as good as i know he can be, u'll pay
btw: 2 examples y draft is like gambling (imo)
- u can have the 2nd pick overall but get nothing except potential that doesn't show up due to on-ice struggling and injury issues (Patrick)
- comparison of 2 LD, one drafted 18th overall, the other 20th overall in subsequent years
a) 205gp, 119p, -44
b) 88gp, 24p, -46
The first is Chabot, the second Cholowski. And that's y i think Rubtsov + 4th + 7th in a deep draft has more value then a 2nd now + a 2nd in 2 years.
