Vegas declines, one for cap reasons two bc they love reaves

If VGK had cap space (and needed a D), that would be a steal for them

Hagg has done nothing to warrant a significant pay raise. If he wants to come back I think Fletcher offers him something in the 2x$1.5M max.

If the Flyers find any team willing to take JVR's deal it's going to come with a demand for a high draft pick. With Fletcher stating he doesn't see the team being big players in FA for the next couple years I don't see a reason they need to rush to move JVR. At worst they can work out a deal with Seattle at the expansion draft next year.

And the Ghost for Reaves trade makes zero sense to me. If they do move on from Ghost I think it'll be a player for picks deal so they can get full cap relief and potentially bring in a 3C if they don't feel confident with Patrick or Frost going into next year. But I go back Fletcher's statement about not being that active in FA. I think they slow play this over the next year and see what a lot of these young guys can do (Patrick Frost Allison Laczynksi Zamula Farabee Friedman Sandin).

Last point, Shattenkirk is getting way more than what you have him signed for.

How is taking a cap dump of a 7th dman a steal? For about 1 million more you could sign a much better PMD like Barrie as a UFA.

Gostisbehere isn't " bad ". He wasn't as good as he was couple seasons ago but can still be a top4 LD and PP QB. He isn't a 7th D and better than Holden. McNabb, Martinez and Whitecloud have different styles of play so I won't compare. Barrie could be better but also sucks defensively.

NM I thought you said he was better than all of them.

Thank you.
