-I do programming in my free time, and I created an AI based on the moves that Vegas makes in the NHL.
-I told the AI that Vegas needs a goalie, fed in the current landscape of the league, and decided to see how they would solve that goaltending problem.
-I guess the AI felt that Vegas would need to make cap based moves with Anaheim before fixing their goalie situation.
-Silfverberg is not expected to play again.
-In real money, he is either owed 5.25M x 2 years (if uninsured), or 1.05 x 2 years (if insured).
-Vegas can spend money. It also does not hurt them add more LITR contracts, since they will already have Weber on LTIR for many years.
-With both Weber and Lehner on LTIR, they can exceed the cap by 12.857M. They already exceed it by 5.794M with a 17 player roster. Therefore, they have roughly 7 million worth of space left that they will be able to exceed the cap by before finalizing their roster with Weber and Lehner on LTIR.
-Karlsson clears up an additional 5.9M. We'll say that they will retain 1M on Karlsson if Silfverbeg is not insured. So at minimum, he clears up 4.9M.
-This means they have 12.9M to work with, with 16 roster players.
-The motivation for Vegas to make these moves is to free up cap to give Nazem Kadri a 7 year 9M AAV contract.
-That leaves Vegas with 2.9M to fill 5 roster spots. Like usual, they will not be able to run iwth a 23 player roster, but they should be able to get up to 20 or 21 players.
-Hague, the 2nd, and taking Silfverberg's LTIR contract are the sweeteners for Anaheim taking Karlsson, who is still a good player, but likely has negative value in the current tight cap climate.
-Hague is a tough pill to swallow, but since the AI decided that Vegas would sign UFA center Nazem Kadri as a solution to not having a goalie, Vegas cannot afford Hague anyways.
-I guess the AI is too realistic. Vegas never went after a goalie. They instead went after a random star player.

What if Silverberg is not insured though? Karlsson is owed 28.3M over 5 years, Silverberg is owed 10.5M over 2 years. That means Karlsson costs Anaheim 650k/350k/5.6/5.6/5.6.

Hague is a young big body top 4 potential defender. That, along with a 2nd, is a decent sweetener when the player coming back potentially costs almost nothing for the next two seasons.

Yeah still no thanks. We will be needing that money for our home grown guys not Karlsson who at that point would be a bottom 6 guy

I love how the AI solved Vegas' goaltending problem by making moves to sign Kadri. It has a mind of its own and makes unique decisions. Unfortunately, this decision is pretty crazy, maybe you should shut it down before it gains sentience.
