NGL, the rumor in Chicago was that Schmaltz was a locker room cancer. Not sure I’d like that here.

Vegas acquires Quick from Columbus — The Fourth Period
The Vegas Golden Knights have acquired G Jonathan Quick to the Blue Jackets.

TFP says we're retaining.
Portzline also thought there were conditions coming on the Nyquist pick, so...

But I was told they weren't willing to retain
there's a little bit more nuance here lol.
they retained on nyquist because he wasn't movable without it. getting 50% of his deal off the books saved ownership $600k, give or take.
gavrikov's deal pays him $4.2m of real money this year. prorated 50% retention would've cost them about $575k.
craig smith makes $4.3m this year in salary. taking his deal on would've cost them $1.2m.
quick's cap hit is bigger than all three of those guys ($5.8m) but his salary is the lowest of the bunch at $2.5m. retaining 50% on that only costs the jackets $330k.
it wasn't a flat-out "they won't retain" it was a "being cheap cost them the boston deal" – whether the culprit there was jarmo or ownership – but the moves jarmo's made since then have arguably led to a better outcome anyway, so… hooray?

How has it been almost an hour since the trade was announced and we still don't have the return?

We had to wait forever for the Meier trade results and that was far bigger than this one
my best guess: vegas is trying to track down mark stone to inform him that he's headed to columbus in the deal

Quick was unmovable without retention. Still saves them money by doing this (unless Quick would’ve not reported and the contract could’ve been terminated).
That’s not meant to be a slight on our ownership, just don’t think this is a “gotcha”.

the salary cap is imaginary.
retaining 50% on quick's $5.8m cap hit costs the jackets roughly half of what it would've cost to retain 50% of gavrikov's $2.8m cap hit.

I’m not sure what you’re saying. Gavrikov could’ve (and was) moved without retention. Quick could not be.
They save money by not retaining at all on Gavrikov. They would lose money by not retaining on Quick… because he wouldn’t be tradable without retention.
