Quoting: VGKNation702
Of course you think it’s fair. I think Toews is still a damn good player, but he makes too much. Giving up Glass, a top 6 pick. Dugan who scored the most points in the AHL and a first to “get rid” of fleury and Martinez. Both those guys still play good, just like Toews. The franchise would be better served to see what that have in Glass and Krebs.
Toews is no doubt a hall of famer, and no doubt would improve our team for the now. But I still don’t know if Toews is the piece that pushes us over. Maybe at the deadline something could happen, but not before the season.
I won’t dispute what you have in glass and Krebs, they both have great potential. However, having said that, it’s extremely fair to say that toews does significantly improve your lineup. Especially if stastny is the one he is compared to.
Another thing to remember is that vegas’ window is right now. The core of the team, save for stone, karlsson, and Theodore, are heading for 30. Realistically, this trade just makes Vegas start working towards the cup now. I love the notion of success now and in the future, but you gotta get that cup now. Otherwise, you’re betting on future pieces that are largely unproven at the moment.
Lastly, and this is just me, that Pietro contract is gonna be murder in 3 years. Be it the cap or his own performance, that’s gonna hurt the team. The window is right now for the next few years. Again, that’s just how I see it.
