I was wondering if the Leafs should pick up Ghost, and then deal Dermott.

Then I saw Ghost's salary - $4.5M cap hit, and decided we don't want him.

And then I looked at Dermott's output - 1 goal and 1 assist in 31 games, and realized we couldn't give him away anyways.

What the frank is up with Dermott? If he isn't a puck-moving defenceman, what the hell is he?
- Atomic Wedgie

I haven’t liked him since that Speedo picture made its appearance.

Adding a goalie like Bernier, who is playing on a horrible team, and putting up above average numbers, I think, would be better than a Reimer playing on a good team with below average numbers. Sure he has more wins, but that’s more the team in front of him. Yes, he has a slightly higher GAA but his save% is 11 points higher. If they retain half his salary, he would only be $1.5 mil.

The Ghost on waivers.

a fine 5/6 Defensman who makes 900k

I read somewhere that they are pulling him from the roster for a few days - they are going to work on some mental things, and don't want him even thinking about playing right now.

I picked him to win the Vezina in the prediction thread.

Oops.

Yeah, I saw that.. I have Hart in one of my two hockey pools

Did it make you think things you didn’t want to think? Let yourself go. Open up new vistas and soar like a butterfly.

Not good enough for the NHL?

188 nhl games...so far

i mean if I am being that fan... Noah Juulsen picked 9 sports before Dermott has 48

What about Ghost at 50% retained?

My wild unedumacated guess is that some team plucks him, thinking they can turn him around.

Juulsen looked pretty damn good before getting 2 pucks in the face and having headaches for 2 years. Or at least looked like a solid option on the right side moving forward.

He's a borderline NHL defenseman in Florida now. I wish him the best since not playing for 2 years clearly hurt his development.

It mostly just made me want to punch him in the face.

How unlucky do you have to be to get hit by deviated shots to the face... at the exact same spot, in the same game.

It would be nice to have his shot on the pp

- Atomic Wedgie

really? I dont think any team goes near him.

unless some crappy team wants to add useless cap space..but not in 2021

I don't think any of us will ever recover from seeing that disturbing image. Well Roeper seemed fine with it. To each their own.

I think you probably right? just too big of a cap hit for the Leafs to take on

Maybe we can convince Philly to throw in Carter Hart

- senstroll

He's basically scoring at a 15g / 33pt pace for a defenseman. He is net -2 at 5v5. I don't think that much of him, but he is probably the most effective offensive play driver on Philly's back-end this year (granted against weaker competition). Ghost isn't the principal problem. Myers & Sanheim are far worse, but Ghost makes almost twice what Myers does.

A (frank)ing classic.

I think I saw the horse flinch so it needs a bit more beating. If the goalie knows he’s playing the shooter he can can come out to cut down the the angle and he’s at least in a position to make one decent play. Otherwise he’s caught between being set for a cross cross slide and moving out on the shooter.

Stupid horse......
