Ok so I don’t get it, WTF is this? I would think some of that is supposed to head Vegas’s way and was just entered wrong. I’m just very confused there.
As far as the UFA rights for a few days for Klingberg, Raffl, Forsberg and Smith aren’t worth much. Trading UFA negotiations just for each other alone is like swapping 4th round picks, it’s whatever because most of those guys are dead set on talking to more teams. Holtby maybe played 20 games not even I don’t think he played better with a players blocking shots and putting in good defensive effort (even if they still sucked structurally defensively compared to previous years) but he’s looking like a backup with the number if games you can expect out of him if he’s not getting healthy and I think everyone in the league is aware of his issues.
What does Vegas gain from trading their young RFA controllable defensemen since there’s no return listed.
Nashville I don’t see doing this either, it just looks very boneheaded,the deal only gets them first chance at UFA negotiations, and they give up Glass and McCarron for the UFA rights to a defenseman that is chasing a big ticket that likely wants to shop around, a goalie that was injured since the beginning of March and a 3rd liner that is one of many veteran UFA forwards available.
