Is this really the best they could've gotten?

My initial thoughts are that this may not be a very cunning move.

WTF? Not sure who's more embarrassing, the VGK front office or the gong show league for allowing trades like this.

We give away first round picks like they are nothing so we can acquire players. Then when we trade some of our better players we don’t get any picks. Seems like a winning strategy.

Maybe we’re trying to reduce the ticket prices.

I love that we moved Pacioretty, this was our best option in my opinion. Pacioretty is overpaid especially in this market. Disappointing that we had to included Coghlan but he is expendable.

Love & this trade have no business being in the same sentence.

I did not say I love the trade, I’m ok with the trade. Pacioretty is overrated due to numberous reasons.

vegas came in strong but wont be long before there a bottom 5-8 team lol and in major rebuild.

So the league is supposed allow teams to circumvent the cap or play with undermanned rosters?

Overrated, ok, I guess, but the guy was a PPG player for most of his time here. He was given away for nothing...I'm still unsure how that's possible. The front office & the owner need to be shown the exit.

Teams circumvent the cap pretty regularly. See, Lightening, Tampa.

Look I have zero sympathy for the VGK doing this to themselves, because Bill Foley is a giant impatient POS, but how is a trade like this ok for the competitive balance of the league as a whole?

I think Pacioretty is a 5 million dollar player, Pacioretty’s age, injury history, short term left, and very poor market completely negate all his value. Most PPG players are worth much more than 5 million but I have my reasons.

I think the owners are more to blame than the league.

 

[The Duck Knight]

The fact that they couldn't get a Stastny return for Patches is an absolute joke. That said he was quite obviously the guy to move. The idiots in the front office just f***ed up the return because of their continuous cap BS.

Coghlan is a nothing piece and would have been on waivers after camp anyways.

 

[pbgoalie]

I figure Vegas would have to regain or give a prospect to get rid of Patches.

Going overboard to push to win now has consequences. But he’ll, what a ride Vegas has been on eh?

 

[VegasKnightlife]

I don't mind that VGK traded Pacioretty, but their asset management is horrendous. Gave up a bunch of picks for Tatar. Trade Tatar, Suzuki, and more picks for Patches. Trade Patches for nothing. Completely foolish to always be that cap strapped.

[Super Cake]

This team is going to be so f***ed when it does bottom out.

And honestly, that might happen sooner than expected.

Pretty much... hope Future Considetaions pans out, but we'll probably trade them for more future considerations if they do.

 

[Super Cake]

Was pissed off about this the moment it occured and i am still f***ing pissed off about this. I don't think i ever will get over it.

Horrible asset management.

 

[mundyc3]

Schmidt, Stastny, Fleury, Pacioretty all for close to nothing for cap.

And teams know that we will give good players away easily.

Also if we try to acquire a player, we will give up top prospects and draft picks to get them.

Our front office is too easily pushed around when making these deals.

Look thing about it, Future Considerations is probably the best thing we could have traded for. We haven't considered the future at all, so maybe now we can consider the future to not make short sighted trades so we have to trade away our top goal scorer for future considerations.
