Another good move. Solid tandem and Vanecek as a top prospect.
Yeah but I wouldn’t rush it unless you’re getting a 2nd rd pick at least. He’s a cheap backup signed for the year which makes him really valuable imo.Or we trade Vanecek for someone that actually needs a goalie.
I would not move him for picks. Try to find a package that works and get the team at top-6 forward back.Yeah but I wouldn’t rush it unless you’re getting a 2nd rd pick at least. He’s a cheap backup signed for the year which makes him really valuable imo.
Vanacek has to go through waivers. Very few team keep 3 goalies on the roster, though I suppose that's a possibility here.Yeah but I wouldn’t rush it unless you’re getting a 2nd rd pick at least. He’s a cheap backup signed for the year which makes him really valuable imo.

Bunch of teams need a cheap backup.... Carolina, TB, etc.
2nd rd pick sounds reasonable because of his cheap cap hit. Let the bidding begin....
Dillon would have garnered 2 2nd round picks. So not sure if Vanecek was trade bait from the get go.
I don't think he was picked purely to be trade bait. He was also likely insurance in case we couldn't get a deal with Grubauer done.
Yeah, I noticed that too, but Vanacek could have been insurance in case Grubauer re-signed with Colorado. I'm not sure why Colorado didn't re-sign him for $5.9M x 6. That's a reasonable cap hit for a Vezina finalist starting goalie.Dillon would have garnered 2 2nd round picks. So not sure if Vanecek was trade bait from the get go.
Detroit's 2020 2nd and 4th for Vanecek and send Griess to G.R.
Wut? Greiss played well at the end of last season and they just traded for Ned. No way the Wings trade for a backup goalie.Detroit's 2020 2nd and 4th for Vanecek and send Griess to G.R.
I agree.. have no idea what Francis’ plan is. I’ll reserve judgment until puck drop roster but man…I’m not super excited.I have no idea what the plan is here. I guess just strap in and enjoy the ride.

2nd and 4th sounds like a good price point, but it will be with the Caps, Canes, Bolts, or some other team that needs a backup goalie for under $1M.
Thanks for the update. How about the Caps.That list is shrinking. Canes signed both Andersen and Raanta. Bolts signed Brian Elliot.
