he's worth 7, so hopefully it goes right and they meet in the middleMore interesting to me is RNH asking for $8...wow. He is not worth that at all.

if i were a team i would not do them any favors. they are smacked right up against the cap, unless i'm getting a sweetheart deal i'd tell them to figure it out. but what do i knowI'm sure the league isn't looking to do McPhee/McCrimmon any favours after bending so many GM's over in trades during expansion. Probably a lot of jealousy involved too since VGK became a cup contender so quickly.
Ok, this “mad sweeteners or death” stuff is getting out of hand because if you think there aren’t any teams that will take Stastny on a one year deal for free then you’re underestimating the value of centers. If he was signed for more than a year it would be a different story and Vegas can retain a little salary on him since his cap hit is 6.5m to make his 5.5m salary go down a little.You honestly think that the few teams that have cap space are interested in sucking up $6.5M of it to add Paul Stastny without acquiring an asset?
Marc Staal had 1? Year left, 5~M and got a 2nd. You'll need to add more than a 2nd lmao
he busted through the cap in only 3 yearsLol McPhee is an awful GM, not surprised they're having cap problems already.
Surprised nobody bit on that. Just goes to show how overrated(?) he is.

Fleury is older and is signed for two years with bigger cap hit/salary. And is a goalie.
They just need one.I'm curious how many teams you think have $6.5M to blow.
They just need one.
What I'm about to say needs to be stickied2 yrs of $7M space for a late 2nd doesn’t do it when Carolina got a 1st for 1 yr.
Seems insane...wonder if they could pull a deal with Laine for him if reasonably resigned though...he's worth 7, so hopefully it goes right and they meet in the middle
More like they overachieved in their first year. And then he went all in signing a lot of very good, aging players to questionable contracts.First of all, Kelly McCrimmon is the Vegas GM.
Second of all, Vegas has done a masterful job of being a perennial contender as an expansion team.
Newsflash, if there's only one, that one is going to exploit them.
Let me answer the question, since you didn't. There are very few teams that actually have the cap space to do that. Most of those teams suck, so on top of the fact that they'd have to make it through his 10 team list, they aren't interested in taking on $6.5M without acquiring a pick, because they suck and he's of no help to them.
If 1 year of Marleau costs a 1st, 2 years for Fluery needs to cost a 1st or equivalent prospect
What I'm about to say needs to be stickied
Marleau was in a unique situation, being a 35+ contract and a guy who was unwilling to play in Carolina. They would be on the hook for the full cap hit plus over $4.5m in real dollars. Not many teams would or could do that. Toronto was handcuffed. Fleury, if bought out, would be much more manageable for two years (~2.5m then ~3m).
Marleau does NOT set the market for dumping cap. Not even close
Marleau isn’t unique. 35+ doesn’t matter. Toronto needed cap space and couldn’t buy him out even if it wasn’t the 35+ cap rules. They needed to trade him. Carolina agreed to buy him out. They didn’t have to do that.
One yearcsp hit when you have space than 4 yrs of $3M+ of space.
An equivalent this year would be Stephan in AZ where he has high bonus and low salary so easy acquire and buy our for teams taking a cap hit this year
Retain 1-2 million and add a 1st and he can be moved.
7 mil caphit for an 2nd isn't going to happen
