That's it?


Damn.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Easy peasy open up cap

Haula was very expendable

 

[Schenn]

Carolina is the new cap dump king!

 

[Do Make Say Think]

That's it?


Damn.

This is also GMs taking their revenge on McPhee for [MOD] the expansion draft.

 

[beowulf]

$2,75M saved on the cap

 

[Langdon Alger]

Vegas frees up some cap space. It’s a start.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

That's it?


Damn.

Judging from numbers, Roy appears to be a career AHLer. I guess Haula coming off serious injuries had no value.

 

[CupInSIX]

Damn Canes fans been asking bout Haula so much they memed the trade into reality.

I miss Holla already.


Roy should be the 14th forward and replace Carpenter. RH, big C, can be sent to the AHL for cap savings.

I would have liked a conditional pick though.
Edit: there was a conditional pick, still I'd have liked a conditional 2nd.

Carolina you need Lucic...

Waddell continuing the trend of alternating between good and bad trades.

Damn that’s great for the Canes. I know Vegas needs to shed cap but Haula was barely making anything.

$2.75-million cap hit. He's a UFA at the end of the upcoming season.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Love it.

He's very cheap next year relative to his 17-18 production at just $2.75 mil. There's no long-term commitment attached to him as a 2020 UFA. He can play center now and shift over to the wing for Necas later, if re-signed. A center pushes Wallmark down instead of a wing forcing Foegele to the 4th line coming off his big postseason. He scored 12 PPGs in his big year; there's a fit for him in the mid-slot/netfront of a reformed PP.

A Foegele - Haula - Necas speed line changes the dynamic of the Bottom 6.

What was the bad trade?

 

[ScottyK]

Lol, still got some work to do Vegas

 

[MMC]

 

[Oddbob]

Only need to dump what 10 more million if they want to sign Gusev?

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

VGK will keep unloading their un needed players like this and continue opening up space

There are alot of brilliant minds in Vegas.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Lol, still got some work to do Vegas

It’s a start.

 

[mundyc3]

This is brutal. Especially on his wedding week.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Carolina you need Lucic...

Nice try.

22 years of age. 11g last year 17 this past year in Charlotte, he was huge for them in a Calder win against the Wolves with 15 points in 19 playoff games.

Looks like an OK prospect with a bit of upside to me.

 

[canucks20]

Benning gives up a 1st and 3rd for Miller. Carolina gets Haula for basically free.

How to take advantage of a team in cap trouble 101.

There’s the first move Vegas had to make. Nice trade for Carolina. Kind of surprised he didn’t fetch a little more.

It’ll be interesting to see how many more players Vegas has to move out.
