Interesting. Chychrun and Klingberg still available but seems like chairs are running out (granted, ARZ just wet its beak with some return through this deal).

Anyone think either of those guys ends up moving -- and if so, which destinations are left?

This is definitely a better situation for Ghost and should help Carolina's power play.

You think? He's going to lose minutes on the PP and at 5 on 5. He's been great this year, and I am very concerned as an owner that his points are going to take a nose dive with less opportunity (even if the team is better).

I own Gustafson as well, and this is the first year in memory I feel like trade deadline deals have significantly decreased my chances of winning a championship..

I agree. Ghost takes a decent hit here. He's going to get less minutes and less PP opportunity.

Yeah this is not good for Gostibhere’s production at all. Great add for Carolina but he becomes a cog in the machine there vs. all the prime mins in Arizona.

Possibly. However, Carolina didn't bring Ghost over for his defensive prowess, which tells me he should see top PP time with a much better group. They are 23rd in PP%, so I believe they will give him chance to help them improve in that department.

Ghost traded to Carolina for a 14yo kid. Unreal deal.

Do people think this chips away at Burns' production a bit?

Over Burns?
I mean, I'd love it... they have to at least fiddle with it.

Even PP2 is an improvement over Yotes PP1

They traded a mid-round pick for him to give them some depth on D. Ghost is not a solid defenseman, and in Arizona he was at least privileged with 22min a night, which he won't get in Carolina.

I'd bank on 19min a night, mid to bottom D pairing, and PP2.

With Hronek being traded some are wondering whether Stevie Y deals for Chychrun…

My guess is St. louis or Ottawa.

Blues would have to get into the musical chairs game.. they're pretty tied up with D for the next 3+ years
