Thread: Receiving dumps
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>The goalie market sucks though. Look at Murray only getting a 2nd and Lenher only getting a 2nd and subban. And yes I know, those goalies signed to way bigger contracts then Bernier, but they also have way higher pedigree. The goalie market sucks right now.

And as for bernier for fleury straight up yes of course VGK would do it, but Detroit obviously doesn’t as you said. The issue I have, is the cost to move fleury won’t be that much, and the return to trade fleury to another team with retention won’t be that high either. The concept makes sense, but the execution needs work</div></div>

alright working from there, knowing that Vegas has to give up something to move him, what is the cost? 1st and a prospect? I cant see any way they get a taker without including a first round or a higher end prospect, maybe not both, but one or the other?

I think Bernier could snag a late 2nd high 3rd. Its not that hes amazing, but hes cheap and good. I do agree that the trade above doesnt make a ton of sense. However, i think you are wrong that Vegas could retain 3m by themselves, the whole point is how up against the wall they are, and need to clear space without retaining, specifically because they paid 2 goalies too much as a tandem. I believe if offered Bernier for Fleury straight up, they likely would, but why would Deroit? they need assets to take on such a high price tag. In essence I think the trade here is heavy on the assets but the train of thought is very fair. Detroit takes on retaining salary and flips him for assets.

It seems like a pretty lateral move for COL - both play similar roles (heavy defensive mins, heavy PK usage, identical TOI/GP both on good teams). Graves is likely gone in the expansion draft after this season anyway, so I think from COLs perspective they are basically choosing which D man they want to rent for 1 season. In terms of handedness Cernak fits better than Graves on paper, but Cole has played enough on the right side that I would still be comfortable running with 4LHD and 2RHD - I dont think its that big of a factor. Filppula would probably be a healthy scratch on COL tbh, and even at 50% retention I would rather not take him. Overall the value seems ok, but imo Avs would probably stick with Graves because he already knows their systems and has chemistry with the team already
