Confirmed Trade: [CHI/VGK] Marc-Andre Fleury to Chicago for Mikael Hakkarainen

[CycloneSweep]

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

Agreed. Maybe Fleury can drag then in?

 

[inthe6ix]

Mikael Hakkarainen eh

ok:

Eichel to Vegas E5

 

[Jee]

Mikael Hakkarainen is nothing. feelsbadman.jpg

Vegas time to go river boat gambling. Trade 4 first round picks like a NBA team and get Eichel. If your team ends up winning a cup or more they won't care about not drafting in the first round for 4 years.

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".

Fleury wasn't the best goalie in the league last season Vasilesky was. The awards don't always go to who they should.

 

[McJedi]

Wow. That’s really all I can say.

Avs would rather score 7 goals on Lehrer than a lot less than seven goals on MAF.

 

[Kranix]

Can Vegas do it? Can they land Eichel?

 

[YP44]

so what Eichel to Vegas for Krebs, Patrick and a 1st?

 

[Lapa]

Hakkarainen has 0 points in 14 AHL games so it's pretty close to nothing lol

 

[Unspecified]

How many times have you hit your head?

Clearly not as many time as you have.

 

[Super Hans]

Stan Bowman found the cure to Toews' ailment.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Chicago gonna send out another letter that simply says "Psyche!"

 

[CapSpace]

NHL : This is fine!
Bergevin puts Weber on LTIR, says Price needs surgery.
NHL : THIS IS ILLEGAL WE'LL LOOK INTO IT!
Rumors : maybe Seattle can draft Price and trade him back to Montreal with salary retention.
NHL : CAP CIRCUMVENTION ILLEGAL!!!
All the teams : dumping contrats to Arizona vs f***all.
NHL : nothing to see here.

 

[backburner]

flyers vs chicago going for gm of the year award

 

[goonybird]

Clearly not as many time as you have.

I'm sorry, what is confusing about wondering how a Vezina winner will fare behind an inferior team?

Fleury wasn't the best goalie in the league last season Vasilesky was. The awards don't always go to who they should.

Riiiiiiiiiight

 

[Vukotal Recall]

BAH GAWD THAT'S JACK EICHEL'S MUSIC

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Vegas got themselves a cornerstone piece in return. This is retooling done properly.

 

[Sens Vader]

How does this work Cap wise for Chicago?

Is Toews not coming back next season?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Fleury for nothing and your chicks for free.

 

[PensandCaps]

7 million for an up and down goalie year by year, not suprised they couldn't get value for him.

 

[abo9]

If I was Seattle I would have raised the bar and offered Carsen Twarynski

Idk why everyone is thinking Chicago is in win-now mode, they essentially gave nothing to get a starter who happens to be a seasoned veteran and a great locker room guy. Perfect for a rebuild imo.

 

[Voight]

Wow I wanna see what this is worth. Wasn't Chicago "rebuilding" a year ago?

More of a retool. Kind of like what Boston did 5 years ago.

Pretty happy we got MAF on the cheap, cause last years goaltending was a complete joke.

 

[CupInSIX]

so what Eichel to Vegas for Krebs, Patrick and a 1st?

They made space for Schmidt to return.
