Confirmed Trade: [VGK/CGY/PHI] Noah Hanifin (75% retained), Mikhail Vorobyov to VGK; 2026 1st , 2025 cond. 3rd, Daniil Miromanov to CGY; 2024 5th to PHI

I distinctly remember you being furious about Tampa doing this same shit when they won their cup.

Guess you don't care anymore eh.

I mean what can I say? I did more reading about what it involves and it didn't bother me quite as much and sure it helped that it was my team that did it. I still would have preferred if they had won a cup without the LTIR maneuvering but outside of Barbashev, the guys they acquired didn't even contribute to the cup run and with Barbashev they were cap compliant. To me it didn't feel like we got some massive advantage but I can admit I was being hypocritical while also acknowledging that it was Cassidy and his systems clicking at the right time that won the cup more than Barbashev's individual contributions. Plus Hill going beast mode.

 

[WhataKnight]

One team is cap compliant, the other 10+m over like usual, not including no tax salary discounts.

Stoked!

Ken Holland should have been taking notes when Tampa did it.

 

[Chips]

Nothing. They monitor this stuff and can have a player get a second opinion from an independent, qualified medical professional.

Anytime this comes up, Friedman brings up how hard the league went after Montreal and Shea Weber. Talks about how scrutinized everything was around that.

He (or someone) said the exact same freaking thing about Kucherov. Obviously the league looks at it. “The league” is all the teams

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

One team is cap compliant, the other 10+m over like usual, not including no tax salary discounts.

Stoked!

One team failed its way into the two best forwards in the world, the other went to the finals as an expansion team and won it all within five years by always being all in.

Are you not entertained?

 

[mundyc3]

the Miromanov leak is worse than hearing nothing

Miro is awesome. I really like him but I think his injury took him out of favor.

 

[viper0220]

Trust me, its been worth it! LMAO

No it has not. This is awful as a Flames fan lol.

 

[HanSolo]

Miro is awesome. I really like him but I think his injury took him out of favor.

He was never all that close to begin with even before the injury.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Miro is awesome. I really like him but I think his injury took him out of favor.

He has not been the same since his injury. And he was out for longer tham a full season.

 

[Atoyot]

Who reported the trade? I'd think that the return would be out by now unless it is pending retention via a 3rd team or someone else jumped in trying to up the offer?

Reported by several sources. Full details taking this long to come out isn't unusual at all. The Dubois to LA trade was confirmed several hours before we got the full details.

 

[mundyc3]

He was never all that close to begin with even before the injury.

When Theodore was out, he could have made his statement due to his skillset being needed but he returned too late.

 

[dogbazinho]

Heard the hang up is on the extension and the temporary injuries it may cause.

 

[canuckslover10]

Not a fan of Vegas getting better

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

McCrimmon GM of the decade?

 

[HanSolo]

When Theodore was out, he could have made his statement due to his skillset being needed but he returned too late.

I don't think that's what held him back. His speed is good and his puck movement is occasionally good but overall he doesn't have the best game sense, vision, or decision making with the puck. At least not to succeed at the NHL level. His strengths are good enough to excel in the AHL but it's not like we were sitting on a Theodore-lite.

Wednesday: Vegas trades for Hanifin
Thursday: mysterious injury, Hanifin goes on ltir
Friday: Vegas trades for another humongous piece

After losing the first game of the playoffs, All Vegas players take off their casts and they win 16 in a row.

(My team isn't in contention so I really don't give a f***, I think this is hilarious and very well executed).

 

[Master P]

Is the trade stuck at the border or something?

 

[Mitts]

Daniil Miromanov is essentially a UFA and apparently he is in the trade because Vegas is near contract limit so they have to include one in the deal.

 

[Vergil]

So the trade at current is a top pairing defenseman - retained - for a potential bottom pair defenseman

Yeah... pretty f***ing wild, lol.

 

[TheBeard]

Is the trade stuck at the border or something?

Maybe McCrimmon grew a conscience.

Oilers won 5 Cups in 10 years after coming into the league so try and keep up.

[TheShape]

Vegas are awesome. They would trade Petro tomorrow no questions asked, if it made their team better.

There’s no loyalty here, just winning.

As a Dallas I can agree that Vegas was the best team last playoffs. They were solid from top to bottom. They deserved the cup.

"If" Stone comes back this year for game 1 or 2, it would definitely look very suspicious and I wonder if the NHL will change something, but honestly I really can't see a player
sitting out and faking being injured. I definitely wouldn't, I hate missing hockey lol

Anyways, see you guys in the conference finals again? Unless you end up in the central through a wild card spot.

This makes the most sense. That and Calgary still needs serviceable NHL blue liners. Entirely possible Miromanov is the piece going to the 3rd team as well for the extra 25%

Why the hell would I? I'm an actuary whose current normal day is talking to IT about data needs of the other actuaries and talking with Underwriting about the performance of a certain segment of business and what if anything should be done to return it to profitability;

That actually sounds like a fun job, touching many areas of business and getting to see the overarching view of the business.
