Eakin has to go

Created by: Chrismurtagh
Team: 2019-20 Vegas Golden Knights
Initial Creation Date: Nov. 22, 2019
Published: Nov. 22, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Time to stop experimenting with Eakin between Marchessault and Stone. Eakin fits a defensive style 3rd line center, or 4th line center. His cap hit is too much for him to be an offensive black hole. I'd trade him for a 4th round pick at this point.

You can't trade Eakin. He's the hottest player in the league right now (at least he was for 2 games).

I was wondering if there isn't a way to swap UFA's who appear destined for FA. Like Eakin for Justin Schultz (although he's injured now), or Eakin for Bogozian (although retained salary would be necessary), or Eakin for Ceci. I really think Glass needs to be playing center instead of wing and it almost seems like Eakin is preventing that from happening.

But I gotta say....your third line of Carrier-Glass-Tuch is PERFECT. I have been wanting to see Carrier and Reavo on separate lines for a year now. Carrier seems to be skating at a whole other level this year and with Glass and Tuch...those three would be a real treat to watch. Come on Gallant, give it a shot.

I'd do that in a heartbeat. Eakin better buy a buzzer. That hair/mustache ain't flying around Lou

If Carrier had any finish in his game he would be a stud. But I think having his energy and speed along with Tuch and Glass's playmaking would be lethal.

Care to expand it a little further? Isles could use another forward in Bridgeport with NHL experience. I think Pirri works well and seeing VGK just waived him shouldn't be costly at all. If something happens with our forwards he would be a nice call up

4th and Ho-Sang for Eakin and Pirri?

Is this a reaction to last nights game or something? Dell was out of his mind that game.

Also, Dell not getting a star last night was comically petty from the Vegas media. I was dying laughing.

Eakin would be a great fit for the Isles. Would Vegas be interested in just a pick back, or maybe Thomas Hickey as well?

Could also include Ho-Sang if there is any interest.

Not so much last night, more on the entire season. He just sucks the offense out of whoever he's playing with, plus keeping him at center means keeping Glass at wing and that isn't helping Glass. Since he's been with Marchessault and Stone, they've been worse. When he was with Glass and Zykov/Pirri/Tuch they did NOTHING offensively. He's a good PKer and a good defender, but not much else.

I think Vegas likes hanging on to Pirri because if there's any injuries to the top 6, Tuch will move up and Pirri will slide into Tuch's spot. There would probably be interest in Ho-Sang and Hickey however.

It's been a weird season for a lot of teams. I was shocked to learn Vegas hasn't won 3 games in a row this season. I'd give it a little time.
