Confirmed Signing with Link: [VGK] Alex Pietrangelo signs with the Golden Knights (7 years, $8.8M AAV)

[boredmale]

I guess he took the Nevada discount?(If I am correct they don't pay taxes there?)

 

[Three On Zero]

Gotta be bottom 5 of NHL cities I would wanna raise my kids in, but hey to each their own.

Huh? Vegas would be a great city to raise a family. It’s more than just the Vegas strip

Lol Las Vegas is a great city.

 

[boredmale]

So how much cap space does Vegas need to clear now?

Schmidt 6M

Not if u lived in the outskirts like players do.. Henderson is beautiful and a great place to live

If Vegas is bottom 5, so is Montreal for the same reason.

 

[CartographerNo611]

Too long for a 30 year old. Good for him and his young family though.

Do... do you think players live on the strip?

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Complete disaster by Blues management

 

[BatVader]

Less than I expected... actually a good deal for the Gold Knights

 

[Liver King]

Schmidt 6M

That's it?

 

[BB88]

Ouch. 8.8M til 38 years old. Vegas has to shift a lot of cap out and still is somewhat thin offensively.

I mean take a look at Karlsson and Doughty contracts.

This is cheap for superstar, still a lot of money

 

[featherhawk]

21 million tied up in G's & Pietro?

bye bye depth, Vegas will regress

 

[Vitto79]

Nice deal.. 8.8 is a steal

Talk to me in 5 yrs

 

[bluesfan94]

Damn, if we really offered 8x8, I'm disappointed. Oh well. He won us a cup. best of luck to him, can't wait to beat him in the playoffs

The suburbs are very high end

You know there is more to Vegas than that postcard you saw, right?

 

[Merrrlin]

Schmidt to Boston now is my guess.

 

[Dicky113]

Didn’t St Louis offer 8x8?

I’m not sure that this is even a better deal. Really strange

 

[Stealth JD]

A price tag under $9M and the Blues let him walk? Crazy.

 

[boredmale]

That's it?

From my understanding yes, maybe they just have to move one other smaller contact?

 

[golffuul]

8.8 and Vegas needs to move out 7 Million in cap...I wonder which of Pacioretty or Fleury is gone, now

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Talk to me in 5 yrs

That can be said for MANY MANY contracts around the league

 

[Schenn]

I'm here for the VGK drama and dominos that ensue

 

[aufheben]

Do... do you think players live on the strip?

Lmao I hear they’re going to live in the Golden Nugget

 

[Skolman]

I'd say thats an insanely good deal if it was for 5 years, 7 years is a bit rough though.
