Speculation: Trade & Free Agency Talk XXXVIII

[2Pair]

Darn it. Thought I had a decent one. Back to the drawing board

Change Stalock to Dubnyk , remove the pick or even swap it to the other side, and figure out some form of salary retention on Fleury and there might be something to it

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

How about this

Dumba
Stalock
2020 2nd

For

Glass
Fluery

They need a RHD and cap relief

Doesn't really result in much of that for Vegas.

That doesn't give them cap relief either.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Dubnyk (50% retained) for Fleury + 2020 3rd... they save ~$4.8M in cap

Dumba + 2021 2nd for Stastny + Krebs + 2020 1st.. cap basically washes

Dubnyk (50% retained) for Fleury + 2020 3rd... they save ~$4.8M in cap

Dumba + 2021 2nd for Stastny + Krebs + 2020 1st.. cap basically washes

I'd prefer Glass if I had the choice but I do it.

I suppose this is Vegas hoping Glass steps into 2C next season.

I was going to do Glass/Krebs, but that was my thought.

WTF?

 

[AKL]

Actually, yeah, I didn't realize Fleury had 2 years left. That's rough to take.

 

[kegstandbyme]

Probably him respecting Koivu for his career but in a way funny he liked the tweet.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

WTF?

It'd be necessary for the 2nd part to happen.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Actually, yeah, I didn't realize Fleury had 2 years left. That's rough to take.

It wouldn't be a huge deal.

 

[AKL]

It wouldn't be a huge deal.

It could. Lots of guys to re-sign next summer.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

It could. Lots of guys to re-sign next summer.

I did a rough estimate. It might take some minor massaging, but it's workable. And we could always move Fleury with some retention that final year after playing in front of our defense.

But I'm not factoring in the Foligno extension that I'm a bit fearful is going to take place.

 

[2Pair]

It'd be necessary for the 2nd part to happen.

It certainly would not. It isn't Minnesota's job to fix all of Vegas' cap problems with 1 terrible trade.

Your 1st trade is missing either 50% retention on Fleury or else they add Krebs. 2nd trade isn't as bad but I would remove the 2nd from Minnesota at the very least. Dumba is worth more than a late 1st and Peyton Krebs.

With the news that Pietrangelo is testing free agency, if I'm Guerin I'd call up Doug Armstrong in St. Louis to inquire about Robert Thomas. Probably a long shot that we could actually get him, but their blue line is much thinner without Pietrangelo if he does end up signing elsewhere. They also won the cup with O'Reilly and Schenn as their top 6 centers and both are locked up for at least 3 more years. Maybe a deal around Dumba and Missouri native Luke Kunin could get a deal done? I'd rather not trade Kunin but if he can get us a 21 year old dynamic center then I'm all ears...

Me too. I’d kill for Thomas. I think they’d sooner trade Schenn, though they did just sign him until 2028 @ 6.5 so maybe not.

 

[DeagleJenkins]

Saw a rumor of boeser to ekblad, wonder if Florida would then want dumba

 

[57special]

Is Thomas that good?

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Is Thomas that good?

He would’ve put up 50+ points this year if Covid hadn’t cut it short and he was 20 this whole year. Guy is a freak of nature in terms of skill. Real good player

Maybe if we took back Bozak/Steen in the deal since they’re tight on cap space, we wouldn’t have to include Kunin and could include a lesser piece.

Dumba is clearly my favorite but I realize he’s likely gone at this point, and getting someone like Thomas would be huge for the team. We desperately need a legit top six center.

 

[TanSor]

Is Thomas that good?

Not my video, but this guy does a decent job of explaining what makes Thomas good/promising. Some of his arguments are suspect, but he has a bunch of good clips (annoyingly he uses 3-4 clips at the same time so it can be hard to follow though).



I'd trade Dumba for him, personally.

Florida can't be that dumb

 

[DeagleJenkins]

Idk who leaked the rumor but usually the rumors I see on the page are leaked by credible sources. Waiting for more info to drop. Not sure why they would trade for boeser but who knows.

 

[DeagleJenkins]

If we could get Thomas I’d be very happy he performs in the playoffs also.

He's a winger?
