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

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

Is it not customary to offer any incoming player a contract worth 5.5 million for 7 years? You know like a Swag Bag?

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

‘Bout 2 years too late.

 

[Flair Hay]

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

Cant blame a guy for choosing Las Vegas over Winnipeg.

Trade seems like a win win to me

 

[Langdon Alger]

He still good?

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

He still good?

No. He is done. Winnipeg should want a 1st round pick to take him.

 

[CupInSIX]

He still good?

He's slowed down quite a bit and has a hard time staying healthy, but he's still a solid 3C.

I would expect conditional picks but essentially he might be free if they take his full cap hit.

Wow all 6.5m? Jets are the best.

 

[viper0220]

Does Kyperos still have links inside the league?

 

[gojetsgo]

Wow all 6.5m? Jets are the best.

we have alot of cap space this season

 

[These Are The Days]

Oh no...... Not WINNIPEG!! Surely nothing could be worse!!


#Am I doing it right?

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

As pointed out on the Jets board, Vegas already has our 2021 4th for sewering us with Cody Eakin.

Also, Kypreos is a moron.

Vegas getting some help in getting some cap breathing room

 

[Eggtimer]

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

Pretty sure MAF would not want to goto the Devils, but as a Devils fan I hope we can somehow get him plus a good asset. The two year term is perfect for us and MAF is a very capable goalie still. And if he did get taken in expansion draft (very doubtful) it’s not a big deal.
It would all depend on the asset attached .
I’m guessing Hague is too much ??

Also , would adding Stastny have any impact at all on the Jets then considering trading Laine ?
With added cap they would need to move Laine more so or the opposite... reuniting Stastny with Laine a d the Jets move a different forward for D help?

What an odd comment to make considering they (allegedly) dumped all 6.5m of Stastny's cap hit.

Meant to add if it meant getting Pietrangelo

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Makes sense by the Jets. UFAs dont really choose to go there. So making a trade for 1 year of Statsny.

Why not?

Moving out all 6.5m is yuge. They might be able to retain some on MAF even if they sign Pietrangelo.

Thats very true

2022 4th maybe?

 

[Mestaruus]

Keep Laine then if Stastny is coming. They had nice chemistry in their short time together. Ehlers should go somewhere in that case if they need the cap space.

 

[BatVader]

I’m ok with this if it happens, as long as we don’t over pay to get him.

They are just bringing in Stastny as a stop gap I'm guessing for one year. Doubt they plan on keeping him longer.

 

[treple13]

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.

I understand, yeah. I guess I tend to be of the opinion that teams need to ask in their own best interests, and shouldn't be too worried about helping or hurting other teams. The goal is to be the best team in the league and I don't think you do that by taking worse deals in order to spite others.

Sign Eakin and turn that pick into a 3rd.
