Maybe you missed where I said draft picks going wherever to balance trade. But even as is. Framework is not “horrible”. It’s not the end all of valuations. But the Athletic had Theodore at $9.6M surplus value (and he’s arguably performing better this year). Roy $2.2M surplus. Leon $7M

Ironically I think you’re low on Theodore… and the “shiny toy” was a cute attack on Vegas FO till… well you know it worked lol

Thread: Have to re-sign Hill

This makes a ton of sense. The biggest argument to keep Hill around is based on emotion. Prior to his injury, Thompson was the current and future at the position. You could ink another cheap netminder and save much needed cap room.

I’m sure he’d receive a full NTC. I get the sentiment but Vegas is still a prime destination for these players.

Disagree here. It was thought that he was a product of playing between Stone and Pacioretty, but this year he was a point per game player and carried his lines while they’ve missed many games.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>Of course, but you don’t need to get expensive contracts to make yourself go over the cap. There’s a difference of playing fair, and attempting to stay under the cap, and buying guys and purposely making yourself go over for the playoffs. If you shipped some guys out, and get some back I would be totally fine with that.</div></div>

In this scenario, Vegas just lost their star RW for an unknown 😏 length of time. It’s only reasonable they replace him with a likewise star player. That’s just fair. It’s not Vegas’ fault that luck shines and Stone is healthy come May 2nd.

The number one priority should be player’s health. Stone’s back has caused him problems all year. It’s just a coincidence he needed to be placed on LTIR the moment Eichel and Martinez came off it and that he healed up exactly on game 1 of playoffs. Vegas can’t be blamed for doing what’s best for their player’s well-being. 😏

Thread: Rebuild

Not entirely sure Vegas would view Toffoli as better than Smith and certainly not at the expense of one of their top prospects. Vegas would be way more likely to just extend Smith at the AAV of Toffoli

Pssst… you don’t escape cap hell by moving a guy making less than league minimum, then locked in through the 27-28 season on a very team friendly deal

Thread: I think its going to be Dadonov

I agree, I think it’ll be Dadonov and Brossoit moved. Though could easily see them nab a guy like Craig Anderson to backup rest of year. I’ll take it a step further and predict Smith does get extended. I know makes little sense but they might rather move on from Roy and even Hague rather than lose Smith. Assuming nothing major changes, Roy is the 4th C, though probably a winger with how Howden has played. I’d rather pay a few million more to have Smith there. I’d also be fine not giving Hague the contract he deserves. Retaining him slides Whitecloud to 3rd pairing. I’d rather have a low paid veteran there and when Alec’s contract is done, I’d assume Cormier is ready.

Thread: Hard to see how Dadonov gets moved

Say a non-contender acquires him for basically nothing now, what is he likely worth next trade deadline with retention?

Ahhh, yeah, that’s not allowed. Would need to wait a year to re-obtain a player with salary retention.

Thread: trade with vegas

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>1- Heh. Probably should brace for disappointment.

2- None of those situations even compare to this one. Those were mild, This is DEFCON desperation.

And, uh, getting nothing for the reigning Vezina winner very much equates to having to pay to offload middle six types. Not at all sure why you think that giveaway makes your case.</div></div>

Yes, Fleury was a pure cap move, as were all these mentioned, yes Vegas got nothing, they also did not have to give away anything when the entire league knew they were under the gun. I’m not sure your point here, I implied at worst they would be giving away players this deadline for nothing, that’s way different than them giving a 3rd+ to shed Smith like the post I quoted said.

The other situations were dire as well. Fleury carried a $7M hit, Stastny a $6.5M hit, Eakin a $3.85M hit, Miller a $3.875 hit (multiple years), Schmidt a $5.96M hit (multiple years), Gusev asking for $4.5M when traded. The entire league knew Vegas could not carry any of these and they got assets from every trade except Fleury, in many cases decent assets.

Thread: Eddie Olczyk Sell-off

Vegas declines. DeBrincat is awesome and their ask should be high. But Vegas can’t send two prospects that are ~top 50 overall in the NHL, another near NHL ready C prospect, a 1st, a 2nd, and Smith (who Chicago would be able to flip for another 1st+). That’s too steep.

Thread: Verbeek SZN

Vegas will not be sending assets just to shed salary. I understand the thinking but at trade deadline, there certainly will be enough interest in whoever they move that it will at minimum mean they won’t need to sell at a loss and likely will receive decent assets.

Don’t forget, they got a 3rd for Reaves while cap crunched. A 4th for Eakin while cap crunched. A 2nd and 3rd for Gusev while cap crunched. A fourth for Stastny while cap crunched. A 3rd for Schmidt while cap crunched. A 2nd for Miller while cap crunched. Roy and a 5th for Haula while cap crunched. And nothing for Fleury while cap crunched and him having a M-NTC and an agent telling front offices he will retire is traded.
