An 8 year deal for a 27 year old dman that never misses games, averages over 20 minutes in his career, with a .42 points per game seems crazy to you?

It was 7.5 in the fall. There were rumors that the Flames upped it to as much as 8.5x8 the week of the deadline in desperation.We're both wrong, it was $7.5m, so he took a bit less to be a VGK.
Noah Hanifin was close on $7.5M AAV with Calgary Flames, may be dealt with extension in place | TSN
TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun has revealed further details on the contract extension Noah Hanifin nearly signed with the Calgary Flames in October.www.tsn.ca
But either way with the state income tax he will still make more.

Props to Knights for being ruthless in their pursuit of winning.

Part of me still really wants to see the Knights take their mockery of the leagues salary cap to a whole new level and just have two full rosters that alternatively go on LTIR
Yeah, the Knights will soon naturally fall back like Tampa and Washington are doing, but, like those teams, it still beats by a mile spending a lot of money and effort and NOT winning a Cup.

Credit to Vegas for being so aggressive here. They play to win which is what the goal here is.

This will hurt Vegas chances of re-signing Marchessault and Stephenson this summer unless they take serious hometown discounts. Both players would get huge $ in the pen market. Former Conn Smythe winner? Jonathan can easily get 7.5M/ in the open market even at his age.
Even if both walk, Vegas has Hertl and Mantha to replace them.

Seems like Theodore has been losing PP time and his pts have dropped since the trade. Guessing he is the next Knight to go?

Great deal, and they can always open that cap space back up around the deadline. Absolutely no downside.
I don't see how they fit Marchessault, Stephenson or Mantha without trading someone else.
Maybe I'm doing the math wrong but it looks like they will have 6.5M in cap space to sign 5 players, assuming Lehner isn't coming back. That's one 3.5M player and fill the rest out with minimum contracts.

Just crazy that players still go out of their way to sign with Vegas with how disloyal they are. Marchessault was the Conn Smythe winner last year and this deal and the Hertl trade basically means he is gone.

Some people do not realize top pairing defensemen or even top 96 defensemen (include #3 guys) are hard to come by in this league.
Multiple people said the Petro deal was bad.
Blues screwed up major not keeping him.

Pens are here to help! Pens will sign him to a 7 year deal and trade him at 50% for futures. We can also trade Smith back at 50%.

& will pay less in tax, Nevada being a no state income tax state.
Vegas is also. consistent contender, whereas the Flames are in a. retool thing so I wouldn't vent blame him if he took less money.

I am guessing the few other offers they had must've been really shitty, and that aligns with a lot of the reporting around it.
I am not so mad they traded him to Vegas, it's whatever. It's that we definitely got rental value because of the circumstance but you just knew he was ultimately going to extend there with his buddy Eichel.
Frank Seravalli on today's Daily Faceoff Live mentioned the contract offered by Calgary was a higher gross but due to taxes the net was lower resulting in Hanifin making $6m more in Vegas.

I hate it was with an in-division rival, but no one ponied up for the prime years of Hanifin. We haven’t seen the best of him, especially since he’s still somewhat inconsistent but has been better. Still, a solid signing.
Signs a deal at 8.4% of the 24/25 salary cap.

I could see Marchessault going to Toronto on a 1 year deal to replace Bertuzzi.
Stephenson goes to Boston, if Boston can’t sign Lindholm.
I can see Mantha signing a cheap 2 year deal with Vegas.
Vegas has lots of cheap players that they can sign to minimum contracts. Expect Howden, Amadio, Dorofeyev, Kolesar, Cotter to see a lot more ice time next year.

For sure. It make sense why he wanted out of CGY, and good for him getting a similar deal as CGY - financially he's further ahead.

We'll get him to go drinking with Wild Bill, until he accidentally waives his NMC
