Remember Erik Karlsson signed a 8 year / $92,000,000 contract with $92,000,000 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $11,500,000. In 2021-22, Karlsson will earn a base salary of $5,500,000 and a signing bonus of $9,000,000, while carrying a cap hit of $11,500,000.This contract doesn't expire til 2027 I believe.

Everyone is saying this is a good deal, but it seems like a lot for a guy who hasn't done much yet.
The real issue for Vancouver now is they have to re-sign Pettersson and Hughes. That may take up 13M-16M in cap space.
After the Garland contract they have about 15M in cap space with only 15 players signed.
EDIT: I see they bought out Holtby. 14 players signed with 20M in space.

Someone better versed in the CBA would be able to answer this better than me, but could it be they needed Fleury's cap space off their books, and it was a must.
If they talk to Fleury about it prior to the trade and he just retires immediately, what would have been the effect on Vegas' salary cap.
Many people didn't like what Lombardi did to Lubo, trading him before his NTC kicked in, but it's only business. I am sure the management team in Vegas has always liked Fleury.

now that's wild, 5 years.. probably a shrewd business move all said and done though, gonna keep butts in seats there when that team inevitably falls off the cliff

Per CapFriendly, looks as if they are around $20 million in space after Garland. Schmidt is on his way out which should clear more space, pending what the return could be and/or if they retain any salary.
Over $13 million commited to Myers and OEL for the next 3 years isn't inspiring.
Boeser is an RFA next off-season. Wonder how that one plays out. Wouldn't be surprised if he was eventually dealt.
They got work to do.

He'll be record chasing too which should occupy the fanbase if the team goes into the shitter.

Yeah, I expect Seattle is looking to stockpile picks by trading several of the players they took in the expansion draft.
It's the smart move.Someone better versed in the CBA would be able to answer this better than me, but could it be they needed Fleury's cap space off their books, and it was a must.

The guy can't leave DC. His KGB handlers wouldn't like it.

WTF is Seattle doing? Taking a player who is only worth a 4th is horrible asset management.

Yeah, I didn't see that they bought out Holtby.
Not going to be easy to get rid of Schmidt.
why, waive him and if no one claims put him in the AHL where he may still get paid but his cap hit pretty much fully goes away

...and then Fleury retires immediately before the deal is consummated. I am not sure about this, but I don't think Vegas gets completely off the hook for Fleury's cap hit if that had happened.

Big Mac gets a 4th round pick and everyone is worried about what to do about the logjam of garbage forwards.
Either you're all worried about nothing or MacDermid is better than most of you thought which, coincidentally, are both things I believe.
Seriously though, good for him. This fight with Reaves has to happen now with the rivalry they've got going with Vegas.
