Vegas making cap room for Eichel

Lol great title.

 

[93gilmour93]

Imagine a trade where a team gives away the Vezina trophy winner for free. Lmao

 

[Lapa]

 

[TMLeafer]

They want to give Kane and Toews another run I guess? Not sure if Toews is supposed to be back next season.

Is our favourite prospect Future Considerations going the other way?

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Not exactly nothing

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Imagine trading a Vézina winning goalie for NOTHING. Jesus Vegasz

 

[holy]

Can’t wait to spank Fleury in a new jersey. You can run but you can’t hide boy.

"For nothing"

They are not even sugar coating it with the usual "future considerations"

 

[seafoam]

It’s a good trade for Chicago. But I think they needed to rebuild and are now stuck in mediocrity for a while.

Chicago has need stability in net ever since Crawford. Fleury + one of Subban/Lankinen/Delia certainly does that for this next upcoming season I would think.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I am amazed that these trades for literally nothing in return are allowed I don't know if I like them or not

 

[Ishad]

"For nothing"

I like this better than “future considerations”

 

[Puckstop40]

Wow. That’s really all I can say.

 

[Unspecified]

"behind Chicagos defense"

Funny, the Vezina is handed out to the best GOALIE in the league and nowhere in the description for it does it mention best "Goalie because of the defense he played behind".

 

[Tripledeke333]

Vezina winner for nothing lol.

 

[SI90]

Heineken beer going back to Vegas in exchange for fleury

 

[Agalloch]

WTF for nothing, not even a 7th round pick ?

 

[ATLbound]

Love it for Chicago, they're gunna be a good team again

I don't see them as a playoff team unless they somehow squeek in as a WC seeing as the Pacific is a joke

How many times have you hit your head?

 

[Maurice of Orange]

This is gonna come back to bite Vegas eventually I don’t believe Lehner has the mental stability to carry a team to a cup.

 

[webersshot]

Hawks are back folks. Hawks....are.....back.

 

[Bruce Granville]

So Vegas obviously bugs the hotels of the visiting teams…

 

[serp]

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

He's a rental too! Wow, you'd expect something back for the Vezina winning goalie with 1 year left on his deal. It's not like he's on an awful deal or something.
