Confirmed Trade: [VGK/SJS] Tomas Hertl (17.05% retained), 2025 and 2027 3rd round picks for David Edstrom, 2025 1st round pick

Vegas gets the 2 thirds???

 

[Three On Zero]

Let’s f***ing go!!!

[TheBeard]

No, they’ll LTIRetire and Vegas will regain that cap space and continue to trade picks and prospects for the present day for an eternity lol

They're not gonna have any picks or prospects. They got their first this year, their second next year and their second the year after.

Grier must have some kind of debt in Vegas

 

[Coffey]

 

[Evergreen]

Wow. You gotta give it to Vegas. The know how to play the game. I don’t like that this loophole is available, but I can’t blame them for taking advantage of it. I’d want my team to do the same.

 

[DukeDog13]

Jesus Christ vegas.... so much for the high price for retention

I gotta ask...why choose THAT picture of Jared for your profile pic?

Grier is an imbecile. He added the 3rds???

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Nah. It’s 1.38, and they’re not going to be competitive most of those years. Keeping Hertl around at 8+ limits their ability to make moves far more. I’m surprised they were able to get this much.

It's like 6 years, no?

For all we know they draft Celebrini, he's an instant star, one of their current prospects turns into a star too, and they are looking at contending in 3 years. Rebuilds can be sped up by how well the results are. To have that 1.38M in dead money that you know is there is tough.

I would honestly think that Hertl costs 1st+Edstrom. The rest of that trade is not very attractive, and would not have me retaining into a year I might need the space.

Vegas gets the 2 thirds???

Didn't even notice that, I hope that's a typo....

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Man, I hope Vegas gets absolutely spanked in the first round.

They may not even make the playoffs, which I would f***ing love. Calgary is making a push and Vegas has been brutal as of late

 

[McDoused]

vegas can f*** off

 

[Woodrow]

Hertl will be healthy for the playoffs as is tradition.

 

[Bounces R Way]

 

[GrumpyKoala]

But the Golden Knights cant afford Hertl....

Golden Knights: Hold my promotional coupon!

 

[Juxtaposer]

Logically, this is a good move for the Sharks.

Emotionally, I’m despondent. Just kill me now.

 

[Osprey]

Never mind.

 

[Thallis]

Better yet, how about the Flames or Blues make a post deadline run and keep Vegas out all together.

F that. Keep the Blues out of this

[Paul4587]

What is Grier thinking? Hertl at $6.7M or whatever it is is an absolute steal and he only got back the equivalent of two late firsts and then threw in two 3rd rd picks of his own in the deal!!??

Not to mention all his retention slots are now gone.

 

[KPower]

lmao at mike Grier

 

[olli]

If I'm retaining for that many years, I want way more back than that.

they’re getting a lot back for a 30 year old with 6 mlre years on his contract
