Description

Since they are playing each other tonight, I figured I would pose the question. I will probably re-post this from time to time so that I get more responses.

This obviously assumes that when the deal is done, VGK are confident they will make the playoffs, and that they will be able to re-sign Deangelo (they would have his rights and should have enough cap space).

Holden was put in for VGK cap flexibility; could be Merrill if that is preferred (both are pending UFAs).

I think Deangelo to Vegas makes so much sense on so many levels. Great personality for the market and fills the need at RHD for VGK.

I like Deangelo, but is he realistically worth a 1st and a 2nd? Maybe if he still had a year left on his ELC at the reduced rate, but he's going to get a fairly hefty raise next summer.

I mean 19 points in 25 games on a team like the rangers should be considered impressive. VGK will have his rights and they have neither a solid offensive defenseman, nor a right-handed shot defenseman outside of Engelland and who knows if he'll be back next season. This way they have their RHD locked up for at least 3 years (probably more). It's a late first rounder this year, and then a late second rounder next year. The swapping picks was too afford VGK additional cap space to take on Holden. I think because VGK have so many picks, this could be worth it for them.

I agree that Vegas would be interested in picking up a player like Deangelo, I just don't think they'd pay that much for him. If they really wanted an upgrade at 2RD, I could see them possibly giving up a 1st, but not the 2nd. I just can't see them giving up a haul like that for a guy that wouldn't be playing on the top pair.
