NJ say yep.

I think a 3rd is more fair, but with the Smith signing I think it makes VGK more desperate-- forcing them to settle for the 4th just to get rid of that $5m cap hit.

Trades are good. The Lehner one is interesting. Not sure value, but Vegas probably says yes.

If Hague signs a one year deal, it is for basically for 900k as he is a RFA without arbitration rights. And is too young for an offer sheet. That number is probably a 4-6 year type contract similar to Whitecloud.

I think that’s a little high on Roy, I look as Stephenson as his match and max. And he signed 2.75x4 when he was an RFA still. That’s where I believe Roy comes in at as well

Meant for it to be a 2 year deal for Hague actually-- I'll update that

But honestly, with Roy and Hauge-- I think they're pretty ripe for an OS, especially Hague. So I could see VGK paying more to make sure they can retain them. And I thought about $3m for Roy as well but just went a little higher to keep him from signing an OS. I could see anywhere from $2.5-3.5m for Roy on a 2-5 year deal, and $1.5-4.25m for Hague on a 1-6 year deal. But VGK will try to keep them as low as they can for now.

Hague can’t be offer sheeted yet. So no worries there. The CBA really hurts younger guys. Vegas has basically complete control. All he can actually do is holdout, but even that needs to end before 12/1. So Vegas can wait him out.

Roy is absolutely the more interesting one, I think if the right package was offered for Roy they would listen, so an offer sheet May not completely scare them. Depends on what they think is the right package.

Why is Hague not offer-sheet eligible? He meets all of these conditions:

1. Have at least one NHL contract expire.
2. Have played at least 80 NHL games if a forward or defenseman, or 28 NHL games if a goalie (applies only for players who have 3 years of NHL service).
3. Be younger than 27 on July 1 of that year.
4. Be without a contract for the upcoming season.
5. Be tendered a qualifying offer by the current team by June 25 or the Monday after that year's NHL Entry Draft (whichever is later)

But maybe I'm missing something...

Looks like I made the error. I was sure I read it somewhere, but it may have been because technically he has been qualified yet. (But we all know that will happen)

Wings accept if Martinez is healthy
