My cap runneth over
This can only mean one thing. Well, a couple things.
EDIT: REINHART NOT WAIVED. Thank god.

Garrison on waivers?!??? He’s probably the best defender on the team?!?!?
It can’t be another deal like Pickard, because Garrison is too established for anything other than the NHL.
And players like Girardi are on an NHL team.
Garrison makes sense given that his cap hit is 4.6, you wonder how many teams that want him and how many would have the space for him.
Still just in shock Garrison was waived over Merrill. The latter is a 7th D at best, and Garrison had 50+ games to turn it around.
Retain 50% and you’re looking at a 2nd rounder or a lower pick / prospect.
Merrill is worth a late round pick. I would’ve taken the gamble on the proven asset over the fringe NHL’er.
Garrison was awful. If there were no trade takers, this was the right move.
Now bring up Ship for Pete's sake.

That is a PERFECT waiver-wire send down/call-up to cover for injuries and suspensions in the short term for a competitive playoff-focussed team with cap room. Given how competitive the Knights are this season, this is a good thing for Vegas for the remainder of this season, though it signals a waste of a draft pick unless he indeed is called up later on this season to help in a playoff drive.
Note: GM McPhee did say before the expansion draft that there would be a few what he termed "throw away picks". We were warned.
Ship's got to hang out in Chicago for a game or two, I think it will do him good.Ship and Theo coming up pretty please?
We'll find out tomorrow morning if they gave him away. I've got a feeling we just moved him to Chicago.
I honestly don't know what to say anymore. We give Garrison away for free to hang onto Reinhart. Maybe they see something I don't.
Most likely. His D game needs work. Still, this guy is a vet so his ego is stinging to the point where he has been told that if he can find a fit for a trade he can do so.Ship's got to hang out in Chicago for a game or two, I think it will do him good.
Fair. But...idk. I just feel like they could really afford to take the risk on exposing Reinhart. Whatever they see, I can't seem to see it. And obviously the trade market just isn't there for GMGMWe'll find out tomorrow morning if they gave him away. I've got a feeling we just moved him to Chicago.

Montreal's already given a hard pass on him. If there was a market I'm sure his agent or GMGM would have found it and he wouldn't be hanging out in the Rosemont Horizon's (or whatever it's called now) dressing room tomorrow night.Most likely. His D game needs work. Still, this guy is a vet so his ego is stinging to the point where he has been told that if he can find a fit for a trade he can do so.
I hope he stays there but I would not be surprised if Montreal would really love him. Bergevin is on the hotseat and desperately needs a centre who can score. I'm not sure they have much that LV would want in a trade though, unless it was a a high pick maybe? Montreal's roster is pretty terrible.
Moved who? Garrison or Reinhart?We'll find out tomorrow morning if they gave him away. I've got a feeling we just moved him to Chicago.
