Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[BertCorbeau]

How does Vegas keep having the assets to land these players?

They’re so anti-draft and development.. how hasn’t it caught up to them yet

 

[TorMapleJays]

I don’t think we make any moves of substance.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Let's say we swap Brodie for Parayko in some form, does this make the team a contender? Probably not. I do think we're better with Parayko, so we can build on that this offseason.

From the reports, it seems Treliving is not keen on spending the 1st and good prospects we have for rentals. I am OK not doing anything if the right deal isn't there.

 

[The Masters]

i think its going to be savard and leafs give up their 1st .. not saying i agree with it

we are in a corner right now

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

He's been in the rumour mill for a long time. It's very reminiscent of the Chychrun and Phaneuf (CGY) rumours.

Not sure about the Leafs having interest but I've seen him linked to us in some way. But the Leafs don't have cap space to make it happen unless they pull a Dubas at last years deadline and trades 3-4 roster players.

I would gladly move Brodie in the deal to make it happen.

 

[SprDaVE]

I would gladly move Brodie in the deal to make it happen.

I'd be shocked if the Leafs traded him based on his role and what they are trying to do, but Brodie only has a 10 team NTC so I'd be surprised if he had the Blues on it.

Is St.Louis trying to dump Parayko contract to free up cap space?

Their draft capital is better than ours.

Notable prospects/young players include;

Korczak
Brisson
Dorofeyev
Edstrom
Sapovaliv
Chayka

I can't belileve Vegas has all of their firsts the next three years with all the moves they've made over the years as a franchise. Talk about a well oiled machine.

They're still thriving off of taking most of the other teams in the league to the shed during their expansion.

Exactly.

They got shit handed on a platter compared to most expansion teams.

Yup fair... they've made some great trades and went for it.

.
but... this was all about Gary getting another team in the NHL. More revenue... and a lot of money to buy it.... so Gary bent over for them to get a ton right from the start.

Is St.Louis trying to dump Parayko contract to free up cap space?

I would say it's not quite at the Phaneuf situatoon, but similar.

A rebuilding team who won't benefit from the quality years left on the contract, would be better served to move him for value now, and avoid the bad years of the contract. Difference is Parayko still has value (but not as much as before his big extension) - Phaneuf essentially didn't and was almost a pure dump.

To Toronto - David Savard (50% retained - 1.75M for 2 years) + Tanner Pearson (50% retained - 1.625M - UFA)

To Montreal - 2024 1st (Top-10 Protected)

To 3rd Team - 2024 4th rd. pick (Via Montreal for retention on Pearson)

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Hanifin, Theodore, and Pietrangelo is a terrific defensive core. LTIR magic all over again if they pull this off.

 

[Dekes For Days]

We always say "You can't trade X because..." (usually in reference to a star player or someone the fan base likes) but Colorado gave zero f***s and traded Byram.

Byram isn't a star though.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Dreger that hack is salty as all hell that Friedman has gotten ahead of him on the Vegas-Hanifin rumour.



Like you can't just tweet out "Vegas is on on everyone" with a week to go before the TDL and then take credit when a team known for making bold moves makes a move.

I believe Parayko has value, but that contract doesn't warrant a first rd pk

We don't have much of a leg to stand on when it comes to LTIR critique.


However, it's not quite like the Tampa Bay LTIRghting.

They're anti-draft and development but they also consistently go far in the playoffs every year while winning the whole thing last year.

Buffalo 3 is like a b list version of this.

 

[stickty111]

Benoit has more than earned his spot...I think Bush is sitting in that scenario.

I think there is a higher chance Lilly sits here. He shouldn't but I'd think so

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

 

[the real Fox mulder]

People believe trading for Savard is going to make a difference.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Wow Hanifin to Vegas done deal
