Montreal should be exploring all options.

 

[Stephen]

What's the cause of this drama?

 

[wej20]

Can't see the market being that big given his contract and how unproven he is in North America.

 

[These Are The Days]

Yzerman get on this NAO!!! Moar Russians!!

 

[hockeykicker]

if they already letting him seek a trade, then something really must be off about him

 

[cgf]

I am genuinely shocked by this. For vegas fans' sake I hope this is a sign that GMGM is going to cash in on everyone he can...and not that he likes his team too much to sell, sell, sell

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Habs should be all over this

 

[hockeykicker]

 

[Sens]

LV can eat cash

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

strome for shipachyov

 

[Kingsfan1]

Let LV eat cash and let Ship come to LA to play 2/3C.

 

[hockeykicker]

LV can eat cash

but why would they?

 

[KingsHockey24]

LA should target him.

 

[Sens]

but why would they?

To increase his value

Clarke MacArthur (4.65M LTIR CONTRACT)+2046 2nd Round Pick
For
Vadim Shipachyov (4.5M CAP HIT)

(Could be a 2019 second if they want, but 2046 seems to play into Vegas' long term strategy)

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Also, what do they mean by giving Shipachev permission to seek a trade?
They won't trade him unless he tells the management he wants to get traded?

 

[Alexanderthe89]

Really curious to see what happened.... I can't imagine there are too many cases where players get signed for that much and then get traded so soon.

 

[Reaper45]

Kings need a center badly, plus the rumors of Voynov coming back next season...

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

but why would they?

Better to retain $1 million and save $3.5 million when someone else picks up the tab instead of paying $4.5 million for a guy to sit in your pressbox or play in the AHL.

 

[hockeykicker]

To increase his value

somebody is going to trade for him full price. someone will take a gamble

 

[Sens]

Also, what do they mean by giving Shipachev permission to seek a trade?
They won't trade him unless he tells the management he wants to get traded?

Means he can go find a team that would like him... then mcphee works out a deal.

Shipachev needs to do the leg work

but does vegas even have salary cap issues?

 

[Zacky]

I believe that last year vancouver and mtl were two teams looking to sign ship. Vancouver has too many forwards right now so that option doesn't make sense but montreal really needs to find a way to score. They should be all over it.

 

[Shaffer]

I’d trade Prospect not named Sprong+Hagelin+2nd from PIT. Other teams easily beat that. Hagelin in for cap.

EDIT: Realize now how idiotic that is. Better offer would be Hagelin(cap)+Ethan Prow+2018 6th(becomes 2019 3rd if Ship plays Pit makes second round in 2018 and Ship plays 50% of playoff games in 2018)
