Trades & Free Agency Thread: 2024-2025 - Trade Deadline Approaches

[Americanadian]

Vegas is historically aggressive at the deadline. They have a clear need on the wing. I wonder if they’d be willing to part with Nic Roy if they need to clear cap for a trade. Potentially something like this:

To VGK: Rakell, Dewar
To TOR: Roy
To PIT: Minten, Holtz, Korczak

This is extremely vague. What does he believe his market value is and what does Colorado believe it is?

If Colorado, who knows the player better than any other team, thinks he’s a 12M player, and the player thinks he’s a 14M player - he can take a “significant” cut and still not meet Colorado’s valuation.

Yeah I wonder what his agent told him his market value was

Pretty well known it's in the 14m/yr ballpark, no? Every report since summer has that as the number

What is his definition of significant cut? Matthews and Marner significant cut is 100 K? What’s his?

Its all part of the fog of percentage of the cap. Agents have been pushing the concept for years. He isn't as good as MacKinnon/McDavid but because the cap is rising and the players share is going up that somehow means he can be a top 2 salary in the league. Clubs don't have to accept that, because mostly they can work around the money so they take it to make their best players happy. Its all fine so long as you have a max of 2 elite players per team.

I’ve been saying for 10 years that players should sign for %s of the cap rather than flat dollar amounts. It makes it much simpler for all teams to manage their caps and players don’t have to sacrifice their present teams to ensure their future salaries.

That doesn't make sense. Rookies would be screwed as they age up and find no available money.
