Rumor: Vegas looking to add to its blue line

[Clayonator]

Yep, all are decent options. I think DeMelo especially would be attractive due to his low cap hit. But I kinda hope we keep him. Funny enough, I feel like Boro would be an amazing fit in VGK. Its tough for me to gauge his value, though, and I kind of think we'll re-sign him.

I think, if they are all traded, DeMelo will be dealt for a 2nd + 3rd or more; Boro a 3rd + 4th or more; and Hainsey for whatever we can get (4th or 5th).

Yeah I think Boro could essentially be their Engelland replacement, so they may try to sign him. Therefore, maybe we could garner a larger return than we otherwise would have.

 

[FerrisRox]

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

With Rielly out for eight weeks, Barrie will be hugely important on the Maple Leafs power play for the next two months.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Any interest in Erik Gustafsson? Hawks can easily take back any one-year money that Vegas needs to dump to make it work, but Gustafsson is very cheap this year.

Borowiecki is awful. I can't imagine anyone giving up assets to add him.

Been solid this year believe it or not, adds alot of toughness good on the pk, would be usefull on a bottom pair for anyone in the playoffs low cap hit. He likely returns a 3rd.

Meh, you're just straight-up wrong, then. One of the most physical DMen in the league, on pace for ~10 goals and 30pts, and can play a regular shift. He's not a top 4 guy but he's a legit bottom pair guy with incredibly unique elements. Guarantee he will get a decent return if dealt.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Anyone want Cody Eakin? He's *cough* really good.

If you’ll take Marc Staal, sure.

"Heeeeeeey Knights fans, what you do need?"
"Less Engelland!"
"What's that? More Engelland? We got you fam!"

 

[bernmeister]

Glad to see your back and healthy.
Brady skeij isn't returning back 4 second round picks.

thanks for the warm welcome back

ok, but that is 4 2nds over 2 years not all now, and Rangers are kicking in cap space, Vegas winds up w/almost 1.5 surplus from this deal if I remember.

So what do you think works

No clue, but not 4 second round picks. I just don't see Vegas having any interest in skeij. On the left side they already have Schmidt, Theodore, Hague, McNabb already. So adding skeij to that even with the rangers taking back Merrill and Holden. On top of his contract and cap hit. To me it's just a bad deal for Vegas.

 

[HOPE]

Montreal and Vegas are usually solid trading partners

You want another Schlemko?

Haha I actually like Engelland, he’s just old as dirt.

 

[The don godfather]

Grez for Tuch? Deal?

Ok.
On top of this vegas is looking thread,
there was another larger thread about Skjei + to vegas in a larger deal b'c GK's are looking for a blueliner.
Figured this was more minimal.

You want him? I'd be okay giving a mid pick just to get him off the roster.


The Knights either need a legit top 4 RD to play with Theodore or a guy like Colin Miller who can anchor a 3rd pair and excels at moving the puck.

Engelland has been good enough this year, some posters are way too hard on him. He is fine as a 6D and PK. They just need to rest him and he would probably play better. He shouldn't play more than 55 games at this point.

I honestly wouldn't mind him being our 7-8D and playing around 30 games next season. Especially at league minimum.

Well given it’s the Sens you’re talking about in terms of taking him, if it were in a deal for Boro/DeMelo you’d have to upgrade whatever pick is coming our way for the trouble. Hainsey would do fine as a #6 for you guys too. Us taking back Engelland doesn’t make sense given where we are, and what we are trying to do. I don’t think your GM would trade him either, given his roots. He’d likely just sit.

Agree to disagree. He's quite clearly the worst dman on the team in my opinion. He wouldn't look quite so bad if he were only playing 15 minutes a game on the 3rd pair with a partner that could skate and move the puck, but that really isn't a high bar.

I know they wouldn't actually move him. I just wish they would because that's the only way I see him getting out of the lineup. Definitely can't see any interest in Boro or Hainsey though. Our biggest need is a guy that can skate well and move the puck, ideally a guy that could also be trusted to cover for Theo.

DeMelo sounds perfect via that description.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

I think Mike Green might be a good pick-up, but Detroit would have to retain half his contract, also Detroit would have to take Merrill and Eakin, although I could see Detroit flipping Eakin to a Wild Card team.

Detroit would need a prospect or pick coming back.

Chiarot or Petry available in Montréal.

Petry would be the perfect fit for Vegas. But can you pay the right price? With Petry, Vegas could be a bigger Stanley Cup contender.

What would you sacrifice...

 

[IceNeophyte]

Golden Knights hoping to add a defenseman before the trade...

With only $117,626 in projected space They would have to move someone.

Players I'd think would be of interest:

Alec Martinez
Sami Vatanen
Mike Green
Subban (would have to include a lot of assets for that retention)
Travis Hamonic

You can cross Subban off that list. No way, no how. I don't even think VGK would want him.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Any interest in Erik Gustafsson or Olli Maatta?

Chicago can take any contract you need to dump.
