Confirmed Trade: [VGK/FLA] Reilly Smith + expose Marchessault for 2018 4th round pick

[Henkka]

Who are we getting back? Gonna be interesting...

James Neal will be a Panther...

 

[I am not exposed]

Haha Florida had to give up Smith because of his contract. Doesn't sound like they're getting much back.

That's awful for them. Lose two good scorers.

Doesn't make sense.

He is slightly overpaid. Nowhere near the worst contract on the team.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

i can't figure out who is outsmarting themselves more

 

[Sticksandsun]

We're watching a franchise die in real-time here, folks

You don't even know what player is going to FLA yet

 

[BB88]

James Neal will be a Panther...

Neal to Panthers for Smith makes sense for Vegas.

Who would want Smith?

 

[FinlandPanther]

Who would want Smith?

A lot of teams he's a good player. Still salty over Hayes.

Not at all. Bruins did OK in moving Savard and getting rid of inconsistent Smith.

FLA/LVK Smith for a 2018th 4th round pick/possible player to be announced tomorrow



Maybe a player going back tomorrow

 

[Jyrki Lumme]

Terrible move.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Yeah it appears Panthers are sliding backwards

Things seemed so bright for them a couple years back

 

[Nalens Oga]

Oh there's gonna be a return lol. They'll probably get one of the players Vegas drafted. I'd assume at least.

Have patience this week.

 

[TropicalAntarctica]

I am upset. very upset. wtf is this.

 

[ResilientBeast]

Why on earth would they do that

 

[LeafsNation149]

Lol Panthers

 

[orby]

Clearing cap space to sign Radulov?

 

[T_Cage]

Is it Smith AND a 4th, or Smith FOR a 4th....the infographic was confusing

 

[Reddwit]

Florida clearly valued moving Smith and his $5M...so why? Any chance they're going hard after one or both of Marleau and Thornton?

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Methot incoming.

If that's the case then they shouldn't have announced the trade today.

 

[TropicalAntarctica]

Clearing cap space to sign Radulov?

they must going after two of

Oshie, Radulov, Kovulchuck, Dadanov.

Because they must not going after Neal if he didn't come back in the trade, and now they don't have the assets to chase Eberle

 

[Zirakzigil]

Getting rid of a bad contract. Cost was pretty pricy.

 

[Whileee]

Is this just a budget cutting move?

If there isn't more to this, you have to wonder how ticked off the rest of the Panthers will be.

Smith and a 4th to Vegas . But yea they could get a player chosen later off Vegas
