He's not a bad player at all, was a bad fit for Pittsburgh. The fans will love him in Vegas I'm sure, he's been popular everywhere he's gone.

From PIT announcement:
The Penguins sent forward Ryan Reaves and a 2018 fourth-round draft pick originally acquired from Vancouver to the Golden Knights. Vegas is also retaining 40% of Brassard's salary this season.

:D

Not really sure why we do this other than the fact that we can... Personally don't see a need for Reeves and don't really feel we get enough out of it for being other teams money launderers.

It may be that Ottawa and Pittsburgh "owe" VGK so there might be some (more) favorable transactions in the future.

Not sure I understand why McPhee is helping out another Cup contender here. Screw that team & their cap issues. The return we received doesn't balance the equation.

This entire situation make zero sense. Frankly it's clearly cap circumvention & the league should be ashamed.

It could be Vegas helping out the Penguins because of the expansion draft (Fleury) and probably future consideration since they're a young franchise

You have it completely backwards. Pitt had no choice but to expose MAF. They needed/wanted to keep Murray because he's way younger & cost controlled.

McPhee did them a huge favor & helped their dire cap situation by taking Fleury. He should've played coy with Rutherford & acted like he was going to take Hagelin. I bet Rutherford would've begged him to take MAF. McPhee probably could've had them throw in a mid round pick or Hagelin.
