Description

Congrats Robin, terrific signing!

Here is why we should keep both Flower and Lehner:

1) very condensed sked next year with likely MANY back-2-backs.
2) moving Flower now at the absolute worst time makes no sense....wait for the trade deadline, wait for Seattle to come on board, wait for goalie injuries around the league.....just wait!
3) Flower is still one of the best dressing room guys around, and while his play has dropped some I know he will be great for us. His current play is still better than many other tenders out there.

My man Flower wants to be a starter. Lehner is now your goalie of the future. Move on from Fleury. Also you just can't invest 12 MILLION!!!! on two goaltenders. Fleury's gonna get moved at some point

I can't see any scenario where Pietrangelo is leaving $64m on the table to sign for $52.5m. Yes, Vegas has tax advantages... but they aren't as extreme as the headline rates suggest. Would be surprised if Thornton & Ryan signed at League minimum as well.

Stastny has a 10 team NTC... that can be used to basically block out any teams that could afford to take his $6.5m cap hit without sending anything back. He's a centre though, so who knows what the interest would be like.

I could see a scenerio where Avs bring Stastny home, but I think Vegas has to throw in a sweetner being in a cap crunch
