Proposed Vegas Trade

Created by: TheWolfe
Team: 2019-20 Detroit Red Wings
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 8, 2019
Published: Jul. 8, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Does this move the needle for Vegas?

Moving Eakin would get them under the cap and they'd get what is in my opinion a solid return for a 27 year-old "prospect" with good potential but 0 NHL games.

Does Vegas want more? Are the Wings giving up too much here? What are other teams willing to offer?

Awful value depending on the prospect, and you're not getting BOTH eakin and gusev

Gusev wants 4m per. He’s not signing for 1. Vegas would have signed him already if he’d take that.

Sounds like Gusev is looking for a $4 million AAV and Eakin is probably Vegas' last choice of guys they'd want to move to create cap space, gotta think they'd prefer to move Reaves and/or Holden before Eakin.

I guess I don't see Eakin as some huge get. He's a 4th line center on a good team on a 1 year deal. Though he did net 20 goals last year. What if you upgraded that prospect to an A- one?

I'd take a flyer on Reaves, but would not be willing to give up nearly as much. Updated Gusev's contract

LMAO what? He's a 3rd line C on a contender. He was their most effective C against Winnipeg and Scheifele 2 years ago.
How many 4th liners score 20 goals

Hmm, pretty interesting deal. I'd have to think real hard about giving up an RFA for a UFA with no term though

He's not a 4th line center, he's a great two way 3C on any team, not many better 3C's then Eakin. Yes he's on an expiring contract but he was a half point player last season, if this trade happened Detroit could easily flip him at the deadline for a 3rd or maybe even a 2nd round pick.

Maybe make the pick conditional upon Eakin re-signing then. 5th or 6th if he doesn't, 2nd or 3rd if he does.

Guess I undervalued him. His stats were better than I remembered, that's for sure. The AA plus a 2nd for him and Gusev deal that Chris proposed is an interesting one. But that still doesn't help Vegas get under the cap which is the reason I was targeting Eakin in the first place

Yeah that makes the deal way more attractive for Det
