Some of these trades are coming in way under value of what I expected...

Florida paid Vegas a 4th rounder to take Reilly Smith.... who put up 37 points in 80 games last year. But it cost the Isles and Blue jackets a massive haul to move dead cap space

Incorrect. Vegas paid Florida a 4th.
The FLA expansion draft trade scenario has to be taken as a whole I think.
 
What is the fancy stats and "which # D is this player?" bar graph on Connor Murphy? Just in case he's a part of the package coming back from ARI.

He looks #bad on the spreadsheets and bar graphs. Like, if you play him above 3rd pairing you're in trouble bad.
 
GM of the year candidate. Trades Eberle as a cap dump for Strome to free up space to re-sign Russell.

Classic.

Hey, when you have McDavid to cover up for your team's fatal deficiencies all year long, you have a lot more confidence to just wing it.

4th rounder for Smith and JAM, that's a lot. I don't really understand what Florida is doing.
 
McPhee is figuring out he has too many defensemen and no market for Garrison, Sbisa, Emelin and Stoner.

Not sure why he went to all the trouble for Engelland either but looking at what he picked up yesterday the guys he should want to go with are:

1. Schmidt
2. Theodore
3. McNabb
4. Miller (who is rumored to Toronto)

5. Methot is his best vet (also trade rumors around him)

6. Engelland (who he's kind of made a commitment to).

....which leaves him with the problem of what to do with Emelin, Garrison, Stoner, Sbisa? I don't think anyone wants any of them which is probably why Schlemko gets dealt if for no other reason than to get the number of extra bodies down to a manageable level.

and Bischoff, Merrill and Reinhart as younger spares.

Yikes. Hopefully the big and strong defenseman is all Sather and not Gorts. I'm guessing in some ways, Murphy is like a McIlrath.

@NYIslanders looking to go all-in on the upcoming season. I expect them to make another deal or three

Hope they overpay

They 100% drafted Engelland because he's a Vegas resident imo

Not really, not similar at all, he's just not very good for whatever reason... Haven't dug deep on him though...
 
McNabb is a lefty ya? Who were we scouting during the whole year on the Kings? Before Lombardi was fired.
 
the islanders going all in? Somehow I don't see them that close to being a contender to try to go all in

Tavares must really be on the fence for management to panic. Snow's job being on the line, ish, is probably motivating some dramatic moves. If they go without any improvements and end up on the cusp again, Snow is on the hot seat.

Making sure that Vegas didn't take Demers, Reimer or Jokinen I guess. And freeing up dollars for something else they're looking to do in free agency, apparently.
 
Has anyone speculated Stepan to VAN? I get the sense from being a Vancouverite that VAN is looking for offense driving centers and I'm not sure if Stepan fits that image. They want a center for Tanev I believe. Tanev and Miller are good. MIN is likely not moving Dumba or Brodin if they can move Scandella.

the options from vancouver are pretty underwhelming IMO

i dont believe McNabb is trade bait,
he was featured on the show last night and i believe those few featured guys (MAF, Enggelland, ??) are intended to be kept
