LabattBlue 524 Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 (edited) If Vegas signs Petro, and finds a way to move out MAF and other pieces, they are the masters of rebuilding their roster on the fly. Kudo's to McPhee and whomever is in the FO with him. A couple of years ago they traded for Tatar. He wasn't working out, and next thing you know, he is shipped off to Montreal...no regrets.

You mean the trade that sent Suzuki to Montreal for Pacioretty? I mean, that was some bad trading. They basically traded 2 first round picks (Veleno and Suzuki), Tatar, and 2 second round picks for Pacioretty. Barf. Edited October 12 by LGR4GM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There will be more bargains to be had as RFAs sign and swallow up money, arbitration hearing happen and swallow up more money or have teams walk away and dump more guys out into the market. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, Chris Johnson tweeted this AM that 90% of the Leagues Cap Dollars for Next Season have been allocated already. It’s a buyers market for sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gabrielor 133 Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 Toffoli's contract is what I want to give Olofsson. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarthEbriate 1,172 Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 15 minutes ago, Gabrielor said: Toffoli's contract is what I want to give Olofsson. Not anymore. Now we've got to ink him in the 3.7 (Kubalik) to 4 range. Until the cap resets and goes up, we've got to get players to settle a smidgen lower. That's where the Girgs deal baffles me. It's not a significant overpay; it's not 3x3. But it's an overpay that equates to another ELC/tweener guy, or a sweetener to a scorer these next couple years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LabattBlue 524 Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 I really wish Botts and his bosses had passed on Skinner at 9mil per, for that term. I have a feeling it is going to hurt A LOT going forward, and it makes it worst that they are stuck with KO for 3 more years at 6m per. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ruff Around The Edges 166 Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 I would be very careful what to give Olofsson at this point: 4M for one season where he proved himself? Id slow that roll a bit 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
In The Buff 253 Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 I'm excited that we signed Hall no doubt. But I wonder if Toffoli would've been the smarter acquisition, had it been possible. Who knows what it would've taken to sign him here but just say its the same deal as Montreal, 4x4.25. Would 4 years of Toffoli at RW on a pretty good deal, been better than 1 year of Hall at LW for $8mil? I dont mean to sound like im throwing shade on the Hall signing, but i'm just wondering what some of you might think about it. Just seems with that price we could've added 2 good players for the price of one & that would seem to be the shrewder move imo. Of course it takes 2 to tango & Toffoli had his choice of teams to go to so theres no telling if he would've wanted to be here. The RaKru relationship with Hall seemed to be an important part of the Hall deal. Either way im not complaining 😛 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
