Confirmed with Link: Mantha to Vegas for 2nd and 4th round picks

[crab]

Actually looking at where Vegas is in the standings a first might be a stretch. Thought they were much higher.

 

[Misery74]

We have another game before the TDL, and it’s a big one. We must be getting a first.

 

[lotty83]

I have zero faith that GMBM did anything remotely significant for the team here. 2nd rounder that probably won't even make the team, at best.

 

[Carlzner]

Pretty funny that Vegas is just blatantly cheating with the cap again this year.

Sick league!

 

[Random schmoe]

This deal would put Vegas at 49/50 contracts allowed. My guess is they don't want to hit 50, so they'll be sending a signed player back.

Please don’t disrespect Strome like that.

Love Strome and think it was a hilariously bad piece of GMing from Chicago to give him to us for free but Mantha has objectively been a better player this season.

 

[hb12xchamps]

details??

Maybe alerting a player who is currently overseas? That’s worded oddly

 

[um]

No stats back up that lunacy.

Without a deal in place isn't he a rental until something changes?

How often are 1sts paid for rentals these days?

I expect a player and a pick, maybe 2nd or 3rd round

This actually reminds me of the wait in the Erat-Forsberg deal, where we all spent hours wondering whether it was Forsberg or Kuzy that was going back to Nashville. (That was several hours, so far this isn't of course, but it was the last time I remembered announcement of half of a trade, with no imminent announcement on the other half.)

Honestly, cap space must be a major part of this. Maybe Vegas willing to pay a premium for it.

Lame return, should have waited until deadline day

What he said.

 

[tycoonheart]

I don't understand this deal for a 2nd rounder. Might as well have kept him, see if he can help with a playoff push.

 

[Langway]

Both are '24 picks. So root for VGK to continue to slide I guess.

Also unclear if there's retention or not. But basically what you'd expect IMO.

 

[EYEuhFRAYtee]

Well, that's something.

 

[Misery74]

Ugh. That is all?

Lmao playoff push with this team?

 

[twabby]

Bad deal

 

[Brian23]

Yeah, that's about what I figured. People were overhyping themselves here.

 

[Pigskin]

i'm fine with the return, at least Mantha is gone for now

 

[crab]

Good deal for Vegas.

Mantha might have got a first from a team at the very top of the league but the Vegas pick could be around 20th.
