Thread: Vegas revamp
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mmicc44</b></div><div>I can see Leafs wanting Piet more than Theo, mainly because of him being right handed. Vegas gets out of the possible crap years of that deal. I'll be honest, I thought of Karlsson instead of Roy, but I feel like losing Stephenson and Marchesault already would make Vegas hesitate to lose another original Golden Knight.

I think if you tweak it to maybe Pietrangelo, Karlsson, prospect for Marner (no retention) + Liljegren+ low pick or Petruzelli, then maybe that works out.
I'd still like for the Leafs to somehow find a way to grab Thompson too in that deal. Even if it means adding their 1st for like a 4th in return or something.</div></div>

Yeah, that's fair I won't say that the Leafs wouldn't be interested in Pietrangelo, but I think they would need something for the future. I do think Pietrangelo might be more reluctant to move, he seems like he's a guy that wants stability for him and his family, so he might nix any trades. He does have ties in Toronto, but I don't think he really even considered signing there when he was an FA (not that they were able to offer him as much as Vegas). I wouldn't be surprised though if Theodore put the Leafs on his NT list either but he's lost his PP time to Hanifin so maybe he would be willing to move on. Reason why I think Karlsson might as well be added is because they might need to move him the following year anyways to extend Marner, Theodore/keep Pietrangelo, and fill out the rest of their roster.

I don't think it's essential that the Leafs add a goalie here since they could look at other trade options or just sign someone in free agency, and to me it seems like an inconvenience for VG. Both him and Hill do tend to struggle with staying healthy, but he's so cheap that I think for them adding someone in season if needed would be the best option.
