Thread: Pacioretty and Pietrangelo skating again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vegasloveforthebills</b></div><div>I thought about Holden but I think they are worried about losing him now for nothing

I thought Nosek could get traded because he’s a pending UFA, but probably not now

I think Vegas has Martinez at 2.5 or less and if he wants more than that they will just let him walk. I could see a situation though similar to Holden last year, where are they say to him on trade deadline week here is a contract, sign it or we may trade you because we need cap space. Kinda forcing his hand.</div></div>

Given the role that Holden has now been asked to fill, he's been excellent. He's not going to win you games, but he's not going to cost you games. Having that security is huge especially as injuries start to pile up.

I wondered about Nosek too, but depth right now is so important...he's staying. (but in the off season he's probably elsewhere as guys like Krebs and Dugan etc will all be knocking at the door)

I have to believe K-Mac has already chatted with Marty's agent. And if that's true, the fact that he's still not been extended tells me that either 1) the dollars are too far apart or 2) he wants to go home to Detroit and finish off his career there (and possibly make more money likely too). Losing Marty would be a huge blow in my opinion.

Thread: When McNabb returns
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vegasloveforthebills</b></div><div>I agree they are probably working on a deal for Nosek. It’s one of those weird situations where they are buyers and sellers at the same time

I do think Martinez will be back next year. I see something like 2 million for 3 years. Maybe a year longer then it should be, but will keep the hit down.

They have 20 players signed for next year already, and have 4 million to spend. And that’s with both goalies again. So if they give Martinez 2, and a Krebs and Coghlan make the team they are under with 23 players on contract.</div></div>

I think $2M x 3 would be amazing. I just see Yzerman going after the hometown guy and offering more than that. Of course, as much as going home might be attractive to him, does he really want to end his career on a rebuilder? But I think it's really important that we try and keep him...he's been that steady force back there that has allowed Shea to open it up.

Now if Kolesar can keep building his game, that might generate questions about Reavo's future. I've always liked Reaves, it's just his $1.75M that I don't like. Man, is Keegan due though! Maybe his first NHL goal will come in Tahoe....let's hope.
