Confirmed with Link: Is Vegas top destination for Alex Pietrangelo? UPD: LeBrun reports 7x$8.8m deal in the works...DONE

[LadyStanley]

Not only does he get a NMC, he won't be losing any friends to Seattle (as Vegas is exempt from the expansion draft)

Someone is getting gone today (real soon now).

Have to clear just to sign, and more before season start.

Golden Knights Sign Defenseman Alex Pietrangelo To Seven-Year Contract

Official announcement (with one sentence footnote that Schmidt's been traded).

20 man roster?

20 man roster?

Over the cap with 20. So unless they do some stupid ass thing like trading McNabb, wouldn't surprise me, a 22 man roster is looking likely.

 

[LadyStanley]

You can do a 20 man roster with AHL team "in town". Only call up body for game, and send down after game (1 day of cap hit).


Golden Knights Continue Strong Acquisition Trend

That only really works at home though, which they would do anyways to bank deadline cap space. When they're on the road they'll want to have cap room for extra skaters.

Yeah, but only way at least 1 scratch won't fit under the cap is moving out Nosek, or Carrier. Instead of anybody else that is

 

[LadyStanley]

Trading Fleury (even half salary) would help with cap crunch.


Pietrangelo wore #27 in St Louis. That's Theodore's #. (Quinney wears #72)

Will Shea relinquish his number or will Alex choose something else?

Alex will get his numer unbelievable the blues wouldn't give him a no movement clause

 

[Super Cake]

What are his signing bonuses?

If I'm Theo, I don't give up my number for anything less than an S600.

 

[LadyStanley]

What are his signing bonuses?

None.

 

[Super Cake]

None.

I honestly doubt that considering one of the rumored reasons why he didn't re-sign with the Blues is because they weren't offering him the signing bonuses he wanted.

 

[LadyStanley]

Hmmm

Yeah there is about a less than zero chance of there not being at least Stone level bonuses.

I'm sure this wasn't meant to show Blues fans what's up. You sound like a Leafs fan!
