Team: 2020-21 Vegas Golden Knights

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 29, 2020

Published: Dec. 29, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

I personally believe this season, with the taxi squad, teams close to the cap will try to manipulate it by carrying 20 or 21 players and a full 6 player taxi.

Since the taxi squad travels as well, teams like VGK could put a higher paid fringe guys on waivers to try and get them through over the cheaper waiver eligible players. And then play the yo-yo game.

Trades

VGK

Additional Details:

No pick sweetener because it’s a small savings this year, and Gardiner is a year longer.

CAR

Fleury, Marc-André

Additional Details:

Savings is 21/22 season and because of taxi squad a little this year. No future picks needed to be lost because the extra season of Gardiner

I would think that Mrazek would be claimed. I would go for scratching Gards as he sucks and if any team claims him, VGK gets off the hook.

Pretty sure a team grabs Mrazek for free.

I had Gardiner on the taxi also originally. But figured for now I would just leave him in.

I agree on Mrazek. Just don’t think Vegas cares

Probably but I don’t think Vegas cares. I think they’d rather ensure they have Dansk as the back up and he’s not claimed

This is a 100% no from Carolina. Selling low on a player like Gardiner is a bad idea, and Mrazek >>>>>>>>>> MAF right now

Understand your feelings. I will disagree, as Gardiner has no value right now and Mrazek and Fluery had very similar numbers last season. Both had a .905 Save percentage

Mrazek has far better metrics facing fewer shots. Gardiner also doesn't have "no value". He had insane analytical numbers as he always did and had a PDO down the toilet. This is an easy no, not without a sweetener from VGK.

Well, at the end of the year Mrazek is a UFA, so it wouldn't be able to happen any other time

Right. Aware of that. I just meant the Gardiner part. Sorry for the confusion
