Quoting: vinny82
My thought behind this is we have Zamula and York waiting in the wings to take another LHD roster spot. If Ghost has a good rebound season, great, but right now he's not worth enough to package in a deal like this.
You really think we lack a top forward when we have lindblom and Patrick healthy and frost waiting his callup? Right now your bottom 6 forwards are JVR, Patrick, Frost, Farabee, Laughton, NAK, and Raffl, that's not enough minutes for some very good offensive players.
We need a 31 year 10.5mil a year forward?
Zamula and York are not waiting in the wings yet, and you're talking about a defense that lost its number 2 dman, and now you're dealing its number 4? Even with Gustafsson you are creating huge holes in the lineup to acquire at a position where you have a surplus. I like Ghost and think he has value, but not in PHI and not in AV's system.
Hell if I'm rebuilding CHI I think about Kane for Ghost, Frost, a 1st and a bit more.
