I don't think Vegas accepts that. They need to shed cap and Debrusk makes over 3.5 million. They also can't afford his cap hit. Youd be better off moving debrusk for a pick somewhere and then using that pick to separately acquire Smith, IMHO

Very fair comment. I was being lazy to be honest. but I figured maybe the $1.5 mill cap savings would at least help vegas a little

Please don’t take this wrong burn None of this makes sense, you say we’re not winning a playoff round so why trade away pieces for veteran depth that gets us maybe through 1 round? Unless there’s a part 2 to this where your making a splash (big piece coming in) to push us deeper this makes no sense, as this doesn’t get us much further and leaves us losing JD, Reilly and a 2nd for basically an extra playoff round and a 5th round pick.

Now I am all on board with upgrading RW, this deal doesn’t happen but I like the idea

Leddy isn’t much of an upgrade over Reilly IMO so giving up 2nd for him is questionable

Parise isn’t really needed, could help bottom 6 for sure with some veteran experience but don’t think he’s really going to get much more then a mid round draft pick really, islander don’t have anything invested in him so anything is a positive return, so if you want him take Reilly out and throw a 4th in their face and they probably take it

So you traded away mike Reilly to acquire basically Mike Rielly in Nick Leddy... interesting strategy

If you don’t think the bruins are winning, why buy?

Wings accept

Works for Detroit.
