Speculation: Vegas gearing up for a big move? (upd: Brannstrom out with illness)

[Kocur Dill]

I mean.

GMGM traded Forsberg for Erat, so....

 

[Clayonator]

clearly hasn't watched us for the past few weeks

You guys will be just fine. Better to get a kick in the ass now and remember how hungry you are than have your first adversity in the playoffs.

 

[Legend123]

May I interest you in a new and well functioning Tatar??? Eh??

 

[generalshepherd141]

Vegas going hard after Seabrook?

smart move

Hawks fans wish so badly that this was true

 

[CupInSIX]

If he has a good playoffs you can have 2 1sts and a lock of Pacioretty's hair at the draft.

 

[Off Sides]

Trading Brannstrom would be a big gamble that could turn into a circus circus unless the return was out of the stratosphere.

I'll show myself out, unlike when I run out of golden nuggets at the Rhino.

 

[General Disarray]

LOL not ponying up for Karlsson last year was a bigger mistake. If they have good scouts, they will find another Brannstorm. Their window is now. They are competing with Sharks and Jets and Preds. If anyone those team make a big trade, Knights aren't beating them.

 

[CupInSIX]

Official status is that he's sick today.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

We'll gladly take a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Nyquist.

 

[Whileee]

With all of that cap space the Jets have.

Jets could clear the space. It's been well-discussed and demonstrated on the Jets' boards.

Yes in Fantasy Land they have the cap space to sign him to the 9.5mAAV with bonuses that he wants.

In reality it's more like "god I hope he takes a discount to come home, while we trade off Laine before next season"

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Need an update on the pantaloon situation.

Poor lad didn't make it to the chamber pot.

 

[Meeqs]

2017 first rounder D Erik Brannstrom was an unexpected healthy scratch for Vegas’ AHL team today. Could be illness or injury but it could also be a big trade chip. Something to keep an eye on.

It would have to be a massive deal if he is a part of it. That guy is worth more than any rental this year so he's either sick or LVK fans need to seriously worry about their GM's sketchy trading track record.

 

[McDonald19]

GMGM will leave an empty cupboard for the next Vegas GM.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

I mean.

GMGM traded Forsberg for Erat, so....

Don't forget, he essentially traded Nick Suzuki, a 2018 1st, two 2019 2nds, and a 2021 3rd for MaxPac.

Terrified. This guy built the 2018 SC Champs and one of the best teams in the league from scratch. I'm also scared they have a great prospect pool after only 2 drafts.

Vegas has a better present and future than most teams so

Naw his successor build the 2018 champs. He traded Forsberg for Erat, 5000 picks for Tatar and then a Kings ransom for Patches.

The guy did a great job at the ED but if he has a red flag so far trades is up there. I think he has done a lot of things really well but its something you need to keep and eye on as it comes up from time to time.

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

Would love if Holland could fleece McPhee again.

Detroit doesn't have anyone good enough to trade for Brannstrom... so it should probably work out!

LMAO McClellan signed 2 UFAs and traded for Eller. They still got trounced by the Penguins for years until they learned to win under Trotz. No rebuild necessary. They won with mostly the same core and the prospects drafted under McPhee.

GM deserves some credit for creating some of that roster(although how much credit do you give a guy for lucking into Ovi?) but he was fired in 2014 and 4 years is a long time to give a guy who was gone a large chunk of credit. Not with you on this one.

It's just like how Brian Burke built the 2007 Ducks from scratch. What a visionary, acquiring Pronger & Niedermeyer. Nobody else could have thought of this.

 

[Taluss]

Vegas going after Dzingle?

No way Dzingle would land them imo

This is silly and no reason to really keep going. Bran is sick which makes sense. No reason to worry
