You can only retain about 2.5 on Bogo, and with adding Cernak into the trade you're solving one problem for Tampa by adding another

You destroyed the team with the Vegas trade, Haula is worth a 2nd and so is Miller. Not a good forward prospect and d prospect plus a middle 6 forward AND a 2nd. Just way too much. CJ Smith, a 2nd and maybe a 3rd-4th would be realistic. Vegas is getting cap relief so they cant expect a boatload back

That package is hardly “a boatload”.
More like a prospect and spare parts...

You can only retain half of a player's cap hit in a trade, correct?

Yes, and than can happen a maximum of two times, as in max two different teams can retain on a player

Sheary has a year left on his contract and is average at best, Tage should currently be in the AHL, and Samuelsson and the 2nd are good value but still question marks. I don't know how this is "destroying the team," none of these guys are core players

Would you say it is still a fair trade, given VGK's horrible cap situation?
