Thread: Sweeney can still round this out

If Vegas makes that trade, I think the GM gets fired immediately.

Thread: 3 Way Trade Rangers Get Eichel

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aspina25</b></div><div>Not a chance the Rangers do that. Giving up 4 1sts PLUS Zibanejad??? Eichel’s price has dropped today, not risen</div></div>

Seems like Buffalo is asking for more from the Rangers. They don't want to keep him in the East let alone New York.

Thread: Stamkos

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsbeathabs</b></div><div>They won the cup with him playing 2:47 seconds last year of course they can</div></div>

So if I'm Stamkos I'd say I'm willing to waive for Vegas and you'll regret getting rid of me when Vegas wins the cup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsbeathabs</b></div><div>You are absolutely certain Toronto didn't say JT can ya waive and he said no or VGK didn't say hey Alex can you do us a solid and he said nah I love it here.

Oh no, sorry I was referring to Stamkos being asked to waive last summer. There were some reports that said they may be looking to move on last summer from him. I'm sure Tavares and Pietrangelo haven't been approached to waive. I was speaking to if they wanted Stamkos that bad, they'd find a way to keep him. Reports of asking him to waive show they think they can win without him. If I'm Stamkos I want to show them that I can win without them.

I'm sure that happened. If management asked him to waive they think they can win without him. I'd say trade me to these teams and I'll win it without you.

If they wanted you that bad, they'd find a way to keep/get you. Toronto did with Tavares, Vegas did to get Pietrangelo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsbeathabs</b></div><div>I'm just the opposite if I give up hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to control where I work and live I'm not waiving it.
His contract is almost buy-out proof also his base pay is only 1 million per year the rest is a guaranteed bonus not subject to buyout so maybe they'd save 667 k cap space</div></div>

Agree to disagree. Just a difference in opinions. I understand not wanting to go somewhere like Buffalo or Ottawa, but if they said "look we are sending you to somewhere competitive and ready to win like Vegas, still no state tax" I wouldn't mind.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boltsbeathabs</b></div><div>He flat out refused to waive last year isn't waiving this year and next isn't looking to likely either. He gave up a bunch of money to stay in TB because he loves living in the area.</div></div>

I've never understood why someone would enact the NMC. If the team comes to you and is looking to trade you, wouldn't you think they don't value you as much as you should be? I get it's great living in Tampa, no state tax, and the team is awesome, but if it were me it would be tough for management to say we are looking to trade you and for me to want to stay.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ragsandbluesfan</b></div><div>Its a good spot for him, just too much for him</div></div>

I honestly have no clue what Tampa would be willing to take for Stamkos. I could see them accepting a decent winger and a second or 3rd or I could see them wanting a lot. His NMC may make things tricky as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>Flyers can't eat $4 mil in cap just because.</div></div>

I wouldn’t say Smith is just dead cap space. He’s a very useful player and only has 1 year left on his deal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>No thanks on Carrier, He's 26 years old a 3rd line winger making 3 x $1,400,000 for only a 4th round pick that has less then a 25% chance of even making the NHL.

1.4 million isn't expensive, he's a good hustle and grit player. The wings won't be competitive until after his contract is up. You move up 15ish picks to take on a player that you can use and is very cheap. It's not like he's going to be what keeps the wings from competing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Meeqs</b></div><div>It's funny you say Eichel is too expensive considering what is moved out above</div></div>

The ask of Vegas would be Reilly Smith, Tuch, Krebs or Glass (maybe both) and a first for Eichel. I'd much rather have Tuch, Krebs, Tarasenko, and Garland rather than just Eichel and Glass or Krebs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Meeqs</b></div><div>I do think it would be hilarious for VGK to be like "you know what we need? MORE WINGERS!"</div></div>

No elite center on the FA market, Eichel is too expensive, and Kuznetzov is a problem, so I'm not sure who the right move would be at center.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Meeqs</b></div><div>Man you REALLY like Garland and Tarasenko</div></div>

Vegas needs to re-tool or they won't be good enough to win the cup. Going to need to make a moderate to big change in the top 6 and add some scoring other than Tuch to the bottom six.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>buffbry</b></div><div>Wings pass makes no sense</div></div>

They get a higher pick to take on Carrier who will suit up for the Wings every night, I don't think it's a bad deal for Detroit.

That 3rd line would make Vegas formidable. I really like the 4th line, and if you're not confident in having all the young guys on the ice at once, rotate them in with other lines or just hide them like thy did with Reaves and Carrier lol.

Thread: They keep both goalies again

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hero9154</b></div><div>Rangers accept. Not because I want them to but because this is the type of trade i believe they will make.

I would think Martinez signs for more AAV than that. Other trades are fine. No MAF trade and roster short at least 2 players just like this past season?</div></div>

Martinez definitely deserves at least 5 mil per year. I hope he takes a slight discount to stay in Vegas and compete for the next few years. No MAF trade and sending guys up and down constantly like they've been doing the past couple of years looks inevitable.

Thread: Malkin

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VGKNation702</b></div><div>Yeah vegas isn’t going to give up Stephenson in that deal. That’s what I’m telling you lol. Glass is the replacement. Malkin will be 35 and it’s known he needs a knee surgery.</div></div>

I don't think any franchise would consider Glass as a center replacement for a top 6 center. He's at best a 3rd line center at the moment and I think most teams know he's a project at this point.

I think Stephenson has to be included. Pitt needs someone to "replace" Malkin. Stephenson is the only serviceable piece they'd accept as I doubt Vegas would give up Karlsson.

At this point, I'd trade Glass quickly. His value is plummeting quick. I wish he was the player that he was expected to be, but he just hasn't lived up to it and hasn't shown that ability at all 5 on 5.

Good to know. I've just seen reports that Philly is looking to add a veteran goalie to make Hart compete. I had no clue about their cap situation, just thought they might be interested in Fleury.
