Speculation: Roster Building/Rumor Thread XVIII

[Thirty One]

as per cap friendly they have 12 mil in cap space now with fleury gone but they still havent officially signed martinez, they also need to sign patrick who is an rfa

And that's with an 18 man roster.

Vegas traded him for nothing?

lol the nhl is such a dumb sport sometimes. Imagine the Vezina winner having no value.

 

[Fitzy]

Always was fond of Fleury, even in his time for a rival. Seems like a jovial free spirited guy.

If this is it for him, very solid career. Amazing talent plagued only by inconsistency.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Vegas would still need to move money out to accommodate an Eichel trade. Smith? JM?

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Class act by McCrimmon.

Vegas is a classy town.

 

[Thirty One]

Well this was a let down.

 

[Thirty One]

Has anyone said "What signs in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas" yet?

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Do we want to beat an offer of Tuch, Krebs, 1st, 2nd?

Schwartz to Seattle according to Jeremy Rutherford

Schwartz to Seattle according to Jeremy Rutherford

He must have permission I guess?

 

[bobbop]

I think you could have stopped this post after Trouba wanted out of Winnipeg, I don’t think the LD thing was really an issue.

You weren’t paying attention.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

He must have permission I guess?

yeah Seattle had a window to talk to FAs

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

If Vegas did trade for Eichel would they trade Stephenson or even Karlsson?

 

[Rangers in 7]

And that's with an 18 man roster.

i highly doubt eichel is going there, strome, maybe

 

[LokiDog]

So Fleury wins the Vezina, has only 1yr remaining so isn't a big risk, and gets traded for nothing. Interesting league we have. Vegas has 11.35M cap space with 13 forwards, 5 D and 1 G signed. Martinez and Patrick need new deals, and they need some sort of backup.

Do we want to beat an offer of Tuch, Krebs, 1st, 2nd?

No because I want something I predicted to come to fruition.

 

[Thirty One]

yeah Seattle had a window to talk to FAs

But it's closed.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Schwartz to Seattle according to Jeremy Rutherford

That's pretty messed up in some ways. Couldn't seattle have negotiated with him before picking Dunn, and had a deal lined up for when FA opened, allowing them to select Dunn and also get Schwartz?

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

5 years 4.95 for Garland

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

But it's closed.

Maybe they knew what he wanted and kind of had a handshake deal so that they could also get Dunn?

 

[LokiDog]

yeah Seattle had a window to talk to FAs

But if they signed the player it was supposed to count as their pick. So Schwartz to SEA being "confirmed" or heavily rumored before free agency is officially open is a little sketchy. I wonder if Rutherford could argue that he lost Dunn for free when it looks like Seattle had a handshake with Schwartz?

 

[Savant]

5 years 4.95 for Garland

Bargain.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Nils Lundkvist will make the opening night roster

 

[NYR]

It would be in Buffalo's best interest to dump JE before (1pm?) tomorrow.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Guys, just let the poor Kraken have one side deal
