Confirmed with Link: Canes acquire Zach Hayes from Vegas for Future Considerations

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Where the hell are we gonna get all these future considerations from? It's not like they grow on trees

Huh? I have a future considerations tree in my backyard.

 

[LakeLivin]

so wait, we owe them two future considerations now? where the f*** are we going to find a second future consideration?

I bet we could get a shit-ton of future considerations for Aho.

Think about it: the team sucks, Rod can't coach, and the Borg doesn't know what it's doing. Clearly the next couple years are shot anyways, so why not flip Aho for 8 or 10 future considerations and then get him back when he becomes a UFA?

I mean, that's borderline brilliant! Sometimes I'm so smart I scare myself!

here is a big brain possible idea... this move of taking on a contract that VGK no longer wanted is the future consideration from the first trade, but they didn't want to insult the poor kid by announcing that he was traded because they regret signing him and need the contract slot.

The thought had actually crossed my mind.

I suppose I never have seen vagrant and Lempo in the same room at the same time (almost certainly wearing tin foil hats in front of boards with strings trying to map out future considerations that are largely known to be nothing).

That's... not a hockey name.

For the same reason why the British royalty doesn't travel on the same plane.

The takes would have been interesting at least if the optics was that MaxPac was traded primarily to get rid of Hayes' contract. If Max had been healthy and hogging points for Carolina at the start of the season, it would be quite an intolerable situation for the Vegas brass.

If we assume his scenario, the timing of the Hayes trade right now when Pac is about healthy is a tad curious. Did they want to see how (if all) Pac is contributing for Carolina before determing which subprime contract Carolina should take? Maybe (and likely) both parties were very upfront about the health concerns for MaxPac at time even though they didn't let it out.

I have no idea, does Vegas have actually bad contracts they would like to get rid of?

Or we could consider that Hayes is a cheap and actual improvement to the defensive roster for Chicago. It’s been really bad. If he doesn’t do well enough to keep longer, the Canes let him walk. East peasy

Hayes is getting paid 80k in the AHL. I doubt its a contract Vegas really pined to get rid of.

Very likely not. Only this season left. But they wanted to get rid of a contract.

He was around 5th on their AHL>NHL depth chart and they were at the 50 contract max. Plus they have 2 (likely 3 with Lehner) players on LTIRetirement contract slots.

Consider Stastny's future.... just think of the possibilities.....

Boy those considerations are piling up

Vegas was at the contract limit and had to dump someone

 

[Chrispy]

Thank you. And still:

Assuming they’re looking to make a deal that requires extra contract slots or just wanted the flexibility. They didn’t actually have to do this.
