A no from Vegas, but not because the trade value is off. Bahl is only 1.2 million cheaper than Hague, so it doesn't save Vegas much money. If Vegas needs to cut money it'll come from someone on D (maybe even Hague) for picks/prospects that won't add to the salary cap for next year. My guess is Theodore for picks (a first and change).

You might be right but if Hague moves out someone has to fill up from the back on their D.
The difference between a league minimum contract and Bahl's 1m is negligible enough for Bahl to make sense to fill that role for them.

Guess I could just make the Devils retain 50% on Bahl as to increase the value for Vegas though.

zero chance they trade Theodore. They will just let Martinez walk and keep their elite d-core.

Also for OP - Are you expecting to win the lottery and pick Catton at 2? He's not falling to New Jersey at 10 or 11
