Description

It sounds like Marc-Andre Fleury may ask for a trade this off-season, and with Robin Lehner performing so well in the playoffs, Las Vegas may be quite happy to accommodate him. But it seems to me that there are only a limited number of teams that can both absorb his cap hit and need a #1 goalie: Detroit, Ottawa, Minnesota, and maybe Carolina, Washington, Calgary and Edmonton. This is my idea of what it would take to give Ottawa sufficient incentive to provide the Golden Knights with enough cap space to sign Lehner long-term.

Fleury's NMC says no and he won't waive it for a bottom feeder of a team like Ottawa. & Vegas isn't adding a 1st to move him. Lmao

If Lehner is the goalie of the future, give VGK Nilsson as NHL ready backup instead of one of OTTs better G prospects.

This trade could only work if OTT retained on Fleury and flipped him to a contender immediately. Its the only way he would waive

Las Vegas isn't adding a 1st to move him. Have someone read the trade to you.

Lol. You said "This is my idea of what it would take to give Ottawa sufficient incentive to provide the Golden Knights with enough cap space to sign Lehner long-term." in other words, you had to attach a 1st round pick in order to move him. & I'm saying Vegas wouldn't have to nor would they.

Maybe you should learn how to read your own writing before throwing it out like that. Lmao.

I really enjoy reading your comments because almost every single one causes me to laugh out loud. The combination of ignorance and smug but unwarranted self-assurance makes the cynic in me content.
