Description
WHAT A TEAM!

Trading Eakin and still having one of the best C cores in the NHL is insane. This team has been built over 2 years to be what most teams take 10 years to develop, and I gotta say it's pretty cool.

The biggest weakness would be top line defence, but I don't think it's too much of a concern because they've got a solid top 4 and top 6 none-the-less.

They have a lot of picks still, but don't have many prospects in the system simply because they've had less drafts so far. They need to draft well, but other than that they are a solid team in every way.

Glass won’t be on the 4th line... no need to have him waste his time there. Either he’ll play middle 6 minutes or he’ll be the 1st line center in the AHL next year.

Given the cap situation and how badly Vegas hosed a lot of teams during expansion, I can confidently say you aren't getting anything near that for Eakin. Maybe a 4th.

I'm very much not a fan of Glass playing 4th-line minutes, especially alongside Reaves. As a high-end skilled center, he won't develop with limited minutes or subpar linemates. Not a shot at either Pirri or Reaves, but neither should be NHL regulars. Good chance Haula gets moved too: solves the money issue and gives Glass a more optimal place to play in the lineup. Otherwise, Glass is going to be looking at a year in the AHL, and from everything I've heard about the kid, isn't where he should be playing next season.

I put Glass there as a filler, should have clarified that. It would probably be someone like Nosek or an FA, signed for around 800-900k.
Agreed he needs really good minutes, or to spend the year in the AHL. Him and Reaves together would be a waste.

Eakin did really well this year, but I'd probably move down to a 3rd now that I look at it. I simply said that based on the fact Boyle got a 2nd, but realized that Boyle was at TDL and got overpaid for.

Gusev will likely get a low amount for 1 or 2 years, as he has yet to prove himself.
WK had a down year, but probably will get more like 6M. To fix that, they'd probably have to trade either Holden or Reaves for cheap downgrades
