pretty that can't happen because OTT and VGK don't actually trade anything between them.

Any particular reason it was broken up into 2 threads? Tends to be easier to look up something in the archive if it isn't split up.
Still thoroughly amazed that Dorion executed two 3-way trades in a single season. That must be a new one for the history books too, especially of the magnitude the Brassard and Duchene trades are.

Yes. Maybe they should have asked for a bit more, but they are essentially getting a free pick for using some cap space they didn't need. This is a good deal for them. Win-Win-Win trade.
Won't be surprised in the least if the deal is McPhee helping Rutherford out for giving him a 2nd and Fleury at the expansion draft. You scratch my back, I scratch yours

No GM would have ever made a trade again with McPhee if he would have done that.
Vancouver's 4th is pretty much a late 3rd, pretty much gives Vegas their 3rd back from the Smith deal. I think you just don't like McPhee. It's pretty much a nothing move.

lot of people keep mentionoing that i think it was the other way around. McPhee helped Rutherford for taking Flower and his cap hit off of pens' roster; and he gave a 2nd to McPhee to make sure that he takes Fleury

"Once VGK were in possession of PIT 3rd round pick in 2019, it could be traded to OTT for Derick Brassard" so technically they could have

I actually think McPhee specifically wanted Reaves, I have no idea why but I thought I read that.

Without question but it's been a while since a good GM feud ala Burke and Lowe in the Penner situation.
Well that's a pretty smart move considering how well Fluery's played for them. Getting a 2nd for a player he'd most likely would have pick anyway is just icing on the cake.
If you look at this like a future considerations trade then Vegas still gets an early 4th for cap space and a player who didn't crack their roster for picking Fleury.
What do you mean?
Wow, Pens are unreal now. They were already arguably the cup favourites, and just shored up their biggest weakness (3C) in a major way. Crosby/Malkin/Brassard/Sheahan is one of the all time great centre rotations.
Very mediocre value for the Sens, and I don’t really get why Vegas did this. Amazing for the Pens.
Side note, poor Caps, looks like they’ll be losing in the 2nd round once again (assuming the Pens stay healthy).

I wonder how much squawking the league is hearing from other GMs about this deal. The first try at the deal was rejected because Vegas was literally giving up nothing to Ottawa. I don't think the changes make it much better, the deal looks shiesty af to me. Vegas essentially enabling Pittsburgh to circumvent the salary cap. As somebody has posted, Pittsburgh gifted them Fleury and we know the NHL is a big old boys network so when Rutherford needed help he immediately cashed in his IOU with McPhee.
That the original deal was rejected is evidence that Pittsburgh was indeed trying to circumvent the cap, I don't think Vegas gave up enough to take that stink away.

Yeah. What a joke. Retaining salary as a third party should not happen. This makes the NHL look like a minor league outfit!!

Out of all those pieces who is going to have the biggest influence in our next two cup runs.
It’s Brassard and that 40% retention will help elsewhere

We can all agree that the important thing here is that Eugene Melnyk saved a lot of money.

That McPhee is a real moron. Using cap space he won't ever need to acquire assets while preventing another western conference contender from improving their team. This is why Vegas is a bottom feeder this year.
McPhee used cap space that is never going to be used otherwise and people are complaining that he spent too much.

would you prefer the term pieces? i didn't put any value on anything i said its a lot of assets, i didn't say quality assets, hell i even went to so far as to quantity over quality. pittsburgh has traded a lot of pieces to at the end of the day acquire Brassard.

It gets way too much to sort through and find relevant information.
We used to close them at 1000 on the old site. That one got to 2600...
