Pie is irrelevant. That's horrible value for Schmidt.

That's Covid price for literally every non franchise player minus Anderson and Matt Murray

And yes Pie is relevant it's either make this trade and get pie or don't and don't get pie

They also lose Stastny and are going to have to lose another roster player. If it’s MAF I wouldn’t be surprised if they have to retain salary. It’s a big gamble

This whole thing is just weird.

No weirder than firing your coach that took you to the Cup finals to hire the coach that you beat in the playoffs 2 straight years with that exact coach you just fired. :dunno:

Stastny had basically zero value even before covid, they're lucky they got to unload him

if the season is actually a thing they'll probably gun for a high end C at the deadline when cap hit is prorated and they get a feel for Glass at 2C. And with Lehner injured the Fleury thing is working out for them

But not as weird as letting your cup winning coach walk to replace him by a p***y who set 2 years of your about to exit their prime core on fire

They still have to move another player to be cap compliant. Losing another forward doesn’t seem ideal for a team who should be adding more offensive weapons. My guess is they are shopping Fleury hard and willing to retain a portion of his salary to get a deal done. Having $12m tied up to goaltending doesn’t seem like a great idea with a flat cap. Like I said, it’s a big gamble for Pietrangelo. Glad I’m not in their shoes

They'll probably ltir Lehner and work it out from there

GMGM is the worst GM in the league.

Even ignoring the fact he’s been promoted above GM in Vegas, this is the kind of move Caps fans criticized him for never making in Washington. The type of “all in” deal that worries less about value than it does about trying to put a team over the hump.
 
It’s a fascinating set of choices by Vegas this offseason.

Pietrangelo is a better player than Schmidt. And they got a 3rd. In a vacuum, that’s good for them.

they boxed themselves into a corner with their Goalies....so they need to fix that. Won’t be inexpensive to accomplish, I wouldn’t think. In a vacuum, that’s bad for them.

they’ve collected a nice set of shiny toys the past few seasons. Let’s see if it works.

Yeah, I don't understand why his is bad now. IMHO, he's doing the right things now. Getting for nothing 2 franchise players in Pietro and Stone. These types of players aren't easy to come by. Shmidt was the price, he's a good player, but can be obtained and signed for cheap.
