IMO he's a useful player still but giving up a 2nd rounder for one year of Martinez?---No. That's counter to the direction the team is moving in. I'm not into moving Wall either until I have some idea about what kind of pro he can be. FWIW at the deadline to a playoff bound team that's when Alec has the most value.
Would not surprise me if Flyers entertained a 2 or 3 for A Mart.
To be clear based on the trade values the last 72 hours and Vegas potential need to get cap room in the next 24 hours a 2 OR 3.To be clear when you say 'a 2 or 3' you mean a 2.
Where’s the cap coming from unless we find a trade partner for ADA or Strome?
You tryna to kill Sam Rosen putting Koekkoek and Kakko on the same team?This^.
Koekkoek may still be available cheap. K may be this year's Claussen.
Do not want to reverse course, get older let alone use assets to go there.
Wall is presumed front runner on Lindbom for Shesty's backup. Guys drafted may work out but too early for that.
Also, Vegas is sup interested in Deangelo, whether that is to retool in addition or is consolation prize if they don't get AlexPie, that is what we should be supporting.
If, as a side backscratch deal, they wanna eat something on MAF so we get him at wholesale w/idea that we then eat a mil or so and flip him to Leafs or somebody else, fine, we'll do that side deal for a broker's fee.
But our main focus for LVGK should be return for Deangelo.
I don't get why Martinez is suddenly is every Vegas fan's proposals.
Ya just gave up two 2nds for the guy, he came in and dominated the last few games of the regular season, and was excellent in a deep playoff run.
What the hell do you guys want?
2+2 is 4. Minus 1, that's 3, quick maths.To be clear when you say 'a 2 or 3' you mean a 2.
They should've bought him out.If they want yo sign AP they need to create cap space.
Right now they have 21 skaters and $2.8M in space.
They have 7 D under contract with most of thrm LD
Martinez with 1 yr left at $4M would be the easiest yo move
They could make space by trading MAF but nobody takes him.
Don’t have a 2nd next year because Gorton hates them. Rangers don’t need Martinez because they have Jack JohnsonVegas needs to clear cap space, and NYR needs a LD with a small cap hit (especially with Strome & TDA going to arbitration). Bonus: Martinez can play left or right side.
Proposal:
Alec Martinez for a 2nd and Wall
Thoughts?
And Martinez is at the far bottom of that list.I don’t want anyone from the 2014 Kings on this team.

Would you accept a 3rd from Colorado for Martinez?So... Vegas NEEDS to shed salary in order to sign Pietrangelo, which seems done on principle and just waiting on the cap. In that case, Martinez to NYR for a 3rd. The end. Stastny got a 4th and a mediocre youth. Ryan Murray got a 5th. Same concept. You want cap space? Martinez for a 3rd. The end.
Martinez is a way better player than JohnsonDon’t have a 2nd next year because Gorton hates them. Rangers don’t need Martinez because they have Jack Johnson
Martinez is a way better player than Johnson
Johnson was one of the two Kings D that made Johnson expendable
This ain’t happening Bern. I believe that LV would clear space for AP but not for ADA. We also can’t go beyond a cap neutral deal.Our focus should be what we get on ADA to LV.
Everything else is a separate deal AFTER we get that finalized.
He is in every post because A Piet looks like he is going to Vegas and nobody is picking up the whole nut for Fluery. Forward's value have taken the biggest hit trade wise so either Schmidt or A Mart has to go.I don't get why Martinez is suddenly is every Vegas fan's proposals.
