Offseason Moves V2

Created by: Roysboy72
Team: 2022-23 Detroit Red Wings
Initial Creation Date: Nov. 30, 2021
Published: Nov. 30, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Reasoning and explanation:

Stephenson looks like he could be stuck centering the third line for the Knights when Eichel gets healthy, and Vegas will have to shed serious cap when that happens. I decided to mix both of these situations into one trade and help Vegas shed about $4mil+in cap while offering replacements for each player. I still added on picks because Stephenson is a legit center with legit value. Bonus being that Veleno goes to Vegas after being selected using what was originally their draft pick back in 2018. Erne is there to replace Dadonov and Smith is an add-on that they can carry on their roster if they so choose.

Thoughts? Is this a good way for Vegas to shed cap? Would the Wings have to add or subtract from the deal?

Dude haha Erne is worthless, Smith is even more worthless. Ras is a bottom 6 forward and Veleno hasn't played an NHL season yet. What would make Vegas do this?

This is nonsensical.

This is the vegas is in cap trouble whenever Eichel comes back, but there’s no way we’re trading Stephenson lol

Roy isn’t being moved either. Can just qualify him.

While I am not crazy about this trade, from Wings perspective, Vegas is going to find a way to shed salary. Every team in the league knows that Vegas in trouble and no one is going to help them out. Thinking you can trade Dadonov and get something back of value or not having to include more, is fools gold. Vegas may have to part with a player they do not want to trade to facilitate a trade.

It is not like Vegas has a choice, they will be handcuffed by their problem. It should be interesting
