Confirmed Trade: [WPG/VGK] Paul Stastny for 2022 4th round pick and Carl Dahlstrom

[Shak19]

Given the returns for Gudbranson and Murray, I expect Stastny for a 6th rd pick

 

[Hunter368]

I feel like the return here is going to be negligible.

It will be.......huge cap savings for LV.....Statsny will be cheap to get

 

[Vegan Knight]

So Stephenson or Glass/Krebs is Vegas 2nd line C if it happens?

Quite risky for a team that feels it's ready to contend, IMO.

Glass has to be the one. He looked okay there last season in the limited time Gallant would play him there.

Mostly stuck him on wing with Eakin as his center. That hindered him but so did his lack of muscle. By all accounts, and pictures I've seen of him recently, he's added some muscle while he's been out.

It's sink or swim for him but that what you expect at this point of his development.

 

[Pia8988]

Statsny for a 6th probably

 

[Blitzkrug]

It's funny because iirc the Knights signed Stastny away from the Jets as a **** you move.

Now now they need to dump him on...the Jets

Oh how the turntables.

 

[Hunter368]

While I hope Winnipeg isn’t helping Vegas clear cap space for Pietrangelo, so far that’s exactly how it’s looking.

Scratching each other's back.......LV just happy to clear cap and Jets happy to get a one yr bridge as Cole P develops.

Jets also do need a viable top 6 C next year too though. UFA is garbage for Cs. Both teams benefitting here

 

[viper0220]

This gives them a chance to shelter Perfetti.

 

[Bobby9]

Didn’t he leave Wpg as a UFA?
I mean it doesn’t seem like he wants to be there.

 

[57special]

I would hope that the picks being moved would favor the Jets.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Wouldn't Kerfoot be better than Stasny at this point?

Come on Jets!

he waived from the blues to come here, vegas offered more money and now were not on his 10 team no trade so if he didn't want to come here he had plenty of ways of stopping it

 

[DRW204]

Didn’t he leave Wpg as a UFA?

Yeah he did. Apparently Vegas offered him a a bit more coin. But he did waive his ntc from STL to come here. Not sure if Wpg was on his ntc again, but anyway, he's a Jet next year.

 

[Hunter368]

He wanted to stay but LV out paid the Jets......obviously he takes the higher contract.

 

[PhilJets]

Nice.

And if Jets find another top 4Dman that will be awesome, after signing Demelo and getting Perfetti.
Heinola and Samberg even if one of them steps in.
Looking good so far...

 

[CraigsList]

This gives them a chance to shelter Perfetti.

Unless Perfetti is instantly becoming 3C, then yes. Otherwise, it’s not really a stopgap.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Vegas gave him an offer of 6.5M x 3 years. Stastny was interested in staying, but the Jets would only offer him one of those things, so he took the better deal (and clearly their suspicions were accurate).

We could end up re-signing him after as a mentor, too. Lots of possibilities, as long as we rob Vegas.

Cap would be stretched thin, but I'd love it if the Jets did this, then scooped Pietrangelo as an F-U. That would repay some of the debt over the years.

 

[Blitzkrug]

While I hope Winnipeg isn’t helping Vegas clear cap space for Pietrangelo, so far that’s exactly how it’s looking.

Vegas would still need another move to even consider making a pitch to him.

 

[mundyc3]

I could see Winnipeg trading more than people think. Centers are a tough find this year in FA. There is a reason why first name off the board for Vegas is Stastny.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Great pick up by Jets to fill #2C slot

+ Stastny looked good his past time in Winnipeg

I would agree, but Vegas is in such deep trouble with the cap, they are desperate to shed salary in a league that will not take it. The number of teams who could take on a 6.5M 2C is very small, maybe Florida and a couple of others? I just don't see how this works in Vegas' favor.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Vegas would still need another move to even consider making a pitch to him.

They'd have all offseason to figure that out though, wouldn't they? They'd have a cap hit of like 86.3 mil if they move Stastny and sign Pietro for 8.5 mil.

They probably trade one of their d-men too.

[jaric1862]

I wonder if Vegas just bites the bullet and gives up a kings ransom to get rid of Fleury (Think Carolina would do it)

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

You realize which conference and division that #1 defenseman is from, right?

Sure.. im also not expecting Armstrong to stand pat and play with his nuts while his 1D walks out the door.

All the Blues need to do is to add one good dman and they still have a better dcore than the Jets, if they already don't.

But a fair point.
