Proposal: Penguins-Knights shake-up trade

[Empoleon8771]

Penguins trade Brian Dumoulin
Knights trade Evgeni Dadonov and Nicholas Hague

The Penguins get younger to start the retool and a winger replacement for Rust. The Knights get an upgrade on defense and gets out of Dadonov's deal.

Not bad but I’m not sure if the knights have the stomach to move on from hague

 

[The Duck Knight]

Vegas can't afford this cap wise and really have no pressing need for Dumoulin.

They need to dump Dadonov with no money coming back or buy him out.

I don't hate this for the Penguins...

I'd do it.

Thrn there is the cap.

this doesn’t help vegas from a cap perspective. On top of that they give up a cheap young D

Would you consider something around Dadonov & Hague for Pierre-Oliver Joseph? POJ needs a new contract but will be signing a 2 year cheap contract in return for a one-way contract. It would depend on what Penguins UFAs walk but could be doable. Pens need to shake up the defense and POJ's style of play is what we already have in spades. POJ isn't an outstanding prospect but he's ready to play on the bottom pair. Trade would net the Knights at least $6 million in cap space being the biggest chip (plus I doubt Dadonov has Pitt on his M-NTC to block it).

Be sure to consult with Dadanov’s no trade list first, please.

Maybe if Hague is asking for over 2m per even though he doesn't really have a case for it. Rather just pay the 2nd/3rd to dump Dadonov and sign Hague to a cheap 2 year deal.

The Penguins get younger to start the retool and a winger replacement for Rust. The Knights get an upgrade on defense and gets out of Dadonov's deal.

Penguins might need to retain 50% on Dumoulin to make this offer more compelling, if they start fielding offers for Nick Hague, those offers are going to be really strong, and they can find a taker for Dadonov (if they're still committed to moving him) for a 2nd round pick. Dumoulin's value isn't that high, even with retention.

And if Nick Hague loves it in VGK, he could sign an inexpensive one year deal with an "agreement" tucked in the GM's top drawer on a multi-year deal which he can sign in the new year (after January 1st or whatever the date) that's a long term deal for more money, that will kick in the following year when they have more cap space -- exactly like what the Penguins did with Marcus Pettersson when he was an RFA.

So he may not get traded at all, particularly if he doesn't want to leave. And if he's made available, I think we're going to have to add....if we even have the assets.

I think we end up keeping Dadonov. Not re-signing Reilly Smith and dumping Lehner (even with $1m retention) probably fixes our cap issues.

 

[CupInSIX]

I don't see them moving out Hague at this point, plus he doesn't have arb rights and was injured for a good chunk of the 2nd half so re-signing shouldn't be a big issue.

 

[mundyc3]

Don't see Vegas doing this.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

Would do this as a Pens fan.
