It makes sense until you get to his NTC (unless he waived it)

I think the more likely reason bc of this is Dadonov being a vet backfill to inevitably losing Smith (and tuch) in an Eichel deal.

Buffalo would value RS more and VGK would values RS less bc of term (flip ability and losing him), so RS just seems more likely.

I also think McNabb could be part of the deal to avoid salary retention, perhaps BUF adds a young LHD like Samuelson who is ready to play on a bottom pair for cheap. Money all evens out.

Can't see Buffalo retaining, wonder if Vegas sends Stephenson to balance the cap out and Buffalo gets a useful player that's tradable if they want.

Either one, was just coming up with ideas. Maybe Hagg with retained salary is the better route

Samuelsson is part of their future core, the other 2 are disposable

NTC is moot when it comes to dealing with Buffalo. Selling team can waive him. Sabres have 1st priority.

So it's okay for Las Vegas to include Krebs, but not okay for Buffalo to include Samuelsson?

This is entirely too much. I understand you guys want that much back, but doing this would destroy what makes vegas good. I can’t do Tuch + Krebs, then you add Morzov too? Yeah too much
