Thread: VGK attempt with Smith
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>Why is Hague not offer-sheet eligible? He meets all of these conditions:

<em>1. Have at least one NHL contract expire.
2. Have played at least 80 NHL games if a forward or defenseman, or 28 NHL games if a goalie (applies only for players who have 3 years of NHL service).
3. Be younger than 27 on July 1 of that year.
4. Be without a contract for the upcoming season.
5. Be tendered a qualifying offer by the current team by June 25 or the Monday after that year's NHL Entry Draft (whichever is later)</em>

But maybe I'm missing something...</div></div>

Looks like I made the error. I was sure I read it somewhere, but it may have been because technically he has been qualified yet. (But we all know that will happen)

Thread: VGK attempt with Smith
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>Meant for it to be a 2 year deal for Hague actually-- I'll update that

But honestly, with Roy and Hauge-- I think they're pretty ripe for an OS, especially Hague. So I could see VGK paying more to make sure they can retain them. And I thought about $3m for Roy as well but just went a little higher to keep him from signing an OS. I could see anywhere from $2.5-3.5m for Roy on a 2-5 year deal, and $1.5-4.25m for Hague on a 1-6 year deal. But VGK will try to keep them as low as they can for now.</div></div>

Hague can’t be offer sheeted yet. So no worries there. The CBA really hurts younger guys. Vegas has basically complete control. All he can actually do is holdout, but even that needs to end before 12/1. So Vegas can wait him out.

Roy is absolutely the more interesting one, I think if the right package was offered for Roy they would listen, so an offer sheet May not completely scare them. Depends on what they think is the right package.
