Colby Cohen. Ugh.

I wish Chris Stewart all the best but if he finds a spot on this roster I'll be a little bummed that none of our kids are taking the next step over him. I just think he's a low ceiling player who isn't going to add much one way or another to this squad that already has plenty of veteran forward presence.

I'm not the biggest Ghost fan, but he's better than Gardiner.

I think he would bring grit and a presence. 4th line and move one of Raffl, Laughton, or Pitlick to 3rd. I would be okay.

I really think our young guys would be better served with quality minutes in LHV. At least for the first half.

As much improved as we are (yes we are) we are not a cup contender. Let the young guys mature.

Yeah, it’s not a big deal one way or the other if Stewart makes the team. May the best man win.

Just won’t be the same without some rough necks like Gudas and Simmonds around. It all started that dark day Brayden Schenn was traded.

TLDR; version of Flyersbuzz today...

EVerything is terrible because we didnt trade Ghost and TK for Laine.
Ignoring the fact that trades are two way streets.

if Chris Stewart can come in here and be an effective player and physical presence for this team I don't see the problem.

I also don't see a need to rush these kids when they haven't played any pro hockey yet.

Agree, and with Pitlick’s situation, who knows there may be more than one spot to compete for.

Don't even need to bring Gardiner into the equation. I'd trade that package straight up for Liane (assuming the 1st is lotto protected).

WAY overpaying for a streaky goal scorer who gets his goals in bunches and blowouts and then disappears for long stretches.

So if that's what Liane is what does that make Ghost, who has been far more streaky and spent far more time being invisible?

Honestly I think it's a pretty fair hypothetical move.
