Rumor: Vegas looking to add to its blue line

[CupInSIX]

I wouldn't mind a 3 way deal around Eakin and Hamonic.

Eakin to NYI
NYI 3rd and Vegas 3rd + conditional 2nd to Calgary
Hamonic to VGK

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Brady Skjei for 2nd + 3rd

Fleece. Can’t believe you are a rags fan.

Fleece. Can’t believe you are a rags fan.

My personal opinion, he really isn’t that good

 

[OVO16]

A little out there in left field....but for whatever reason Tyson Barrie just hasn’t worked out for the leafs.

I think he’d be a perfect fit with Vegas with his puck moving abilities.

Obviously no clue if Leafs even entertain trading Barrie but if it comes to it..Vegas would make sense imo

Ristolainen for Marchessault

Risto is younger and on shorter contract, but exactly what Vegas needs. Marchessault is the elusive top-6 RW veteran that Buffalo sorely needs. Marchessault is going to cause Vegas cap problems in a couple years, if you don't acknowledge it is one already holding them back from fixing their defense. 400k difference in contracts is conveniently the amount of cap space Vegas has, so it works cleanly. Marchessault only has an 8 team NTC-- the biggest hiccup.

Justin Schultz for a pick

I would move heaven and earth, to get that Shady Brei

Justin Schultz for a pick

You're not fooling anyone trying to push your Jack Johnson on us - wait did you say Schultz?

Done...how bad is he hurt?

 

[Nucker42]

I would suggest Jordie Benn

he’s been pushed out by Fatenberg and Rafferty is on the way....

he’s cheap and signed for 2 years...

would want a 5th back.

Hague Eakins 2nd for Petry (25% retained)

Seems cheap right ? A prospect + a dump + a 2nd for Petry ? or is Hagues that good ?

 

[CupInSIX]

Current speculation is Reaves + a pick for TVR or Gardiner. I think TVR's remaining 1m of cap works out if they send Hague down so no need to move Reaves for him.

Gardiner seems the likely target if they're looking at Kolesar replacing Reaves.

No and yes. Forget getting Hague. He was off the table for Stone & Pacioretty. They won't move him for Petry.

Thank for the answer but out of curiosity then why did some fans talk about sending him to the minors if a new D comes ?

 

[GKG18]

Ristolainen for Marchessault

Note that VGK is 1-3 since he has been out of the lineup....

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Make me an offer for Brodin

 

[RangersFan1994]

My personal opinion, he really isn’t that good

I agree but he at least is signed and has more value than a cap dump, Skjei and Fast for Tuch, and Peyton Krebs?
???

yes, he's available what do you offer?

 

[featherhawk]

Connor Murphy or Ollie Maatta are likely available

 

[DatsDeking]

Though I think Vatenan is the best player available, Detroit would have a hard time saying no to something around:

Merill & Eakin + Vegas 2020 2nd & Pens 2020 2nd

for Mike Green @50% retention (2.687m)

Yzerman recently said that the teams goal was to add more draft picks, and they have just over 10m in cap to work with before a trade like this.

I would be very interested in that. Both Meril and Eakins are on the last year of their contract, right? Same as Green.

 

[ChiHawk21]

Connor Murphy or Ollie Maatta are likely available

and gustafsson who has a very low cap hit.

 

[Mike Dukarm]

Petry + 3rd 2020 for Glass + Eakin or Reaves + 1st 2020

and gustafsson who has a very low cap hit.

Ya was going to include him although I did not think the knights are looking for that type of dman

 

[theslatcher]

Petry + 3rd 2020 for Glass + Eakin or Reaves + 1st 2020

Stone nor Pacioretty is getting you Glass, so that's a hard no.

Ya was going to include him although I did not think the knights are looking for that type of dman

Puck moving dman who can play PP is what they're after is my guess. But preferably RHD.

 

[ChiHawk21]

i didnt think so either but saw him include mike green and subban so i dunno. maybe another vegas fan would like to chime in on what type of D man they are looking for.

 

[bernmeister]

Skjei worth more than a 2nd + 3rd but cap space is a premium and the offer in that post has the onus entirely on LV.
Vegas has almost no cap, so for a bit more...

LVGK 2020 + 2021 2nds + Pens 2020 2nd + NJD 2021 2nd
+ acceptable cap dumps
Merrill, 1.375 + Holden 2.2 + Eakin partially retained down from 3.85 to 3, all expiring
total cap is 6.575

for

Skjei full pop 5.25

rough math 6.57 - 5.25 = ballpark 1.3 cap savings to Vegas


that is 4 late 2nds over 2 yrs
immediate help to LV
structural cap reform to NY

win win

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Something around Petry at 50% for Krebs? Vegas can toss in a bad contract to make things work.

Petry's skating and puck movement would fit in great with Vegas.
