MacDermid getting a 4th is not gross overpayment but its not like Colorado got a bargain either.

The exact same cost as Brendan Lemieux, who was acquired for a 4th rounder. Now the Rangers are looking to get tougher to answer Tom Wilson, and the Avs do this to match up against the likes of Reaves, despite the fact that Reaves barely even played this season.

It was a good move for Washington. He'll be chasing Gretzky for the next five years and has a real shot to accomplish it.

What's funny is that many Vegas fans want to dump Reaves and view him as a waste of a roster spot. Now I want to see Vegas send Reaves to the Rangers, and Colorado will just waste a roster spot on MacDermid to sit in the press box. I can't imagine him getting much playing time on the Avs.

The Fleury trade indicates Vegas is going big game hunting. Watch them get Eichel for their 2C.
Krebs, Patrick and a 1st?
I think Vegas has to be the front runner for Eichel now.

Probably a little more. I see them running Stone, Eichel, and Patrick down the middle. They run a very unique system. Given how strong Stone is everywhere - over a point per game last season AND a top defensive forward in all metrics - he’s their 1C and runs that line from the wing. Most people complain Vegas doesn’t have a 1C but Stone is the guy. Even Tuch has mentioned the system they run allows them to move around very easily.

Add two more prospects. My guess it will take 5 pieces. Currently at 12 mil in cap space.
After Martinez resigns, they will have about 7 and change. Still not enough space to fit in 10 mil cap hit.

Can't believe Seattle took MacD just to trade him for a fourth. Was he seriously the most valuable player from the Kings, or is Francis that incompetent?

He’s doesn’t, but he gets certain assignments that centers do. Given his strength everywhere he essentially runs the line from the wing like a center. It’s such a unique setup, Stone is a beast, love that guy.

They likely throw in Reilly Smith (1 year left at $5 million) to help make a potential deal work.
I think they have interest in Danault. Could see him link up again with Pacioretty.

Luc and Rob are a waste of time and money.
It costs nothing against the cap, like around $200k for 4 years. That’s less than a week of dead cap on the books this year between the Rick, Carts and Dion. For $200k you buy ice time for guys worth watching how they develop. Consider it an investment towards TV ratings.

Looks like Carolina just replaced a 40 pt defenseman like Hamilton on the cheap.

Maybe, if he manages to last more than 5 games before Brind'Amour skullf***s him.

I have the feeling Raleigh is a better fit than NYC for this guy. Brindy took pathetic wages to stay in that town. Maybe him and the player have more things in common than on the surface, like a love of great BBQ.
