NYR gets fleeced in this deal... imo

It's Lehtonen's 2x5.9m I don't like...

Lehtonen just makes the money work, and he comes off books in time to sign the kids. Perhaps Allaire can rekindle his form, and even make a tradeable commodity out of him down the line. If he gets taken in the expansion draft as Vegas tries to meet the salary floor, all the better.

I'm fine sweetening the deal with picks/prospects also.

Kinda like this, but Habs fan was right, NYR could get more for Nash. But I actually like this.
Only thing in the lineups I'd change is I don't think Buch would roll out on the 2nd line. He hasn't played on NHL ice yet. I'd shelter him on the 3rd.

As much as I agree with you I don't think they will. They seem to want Vesey to play with Hayes and Miller. Buchnevich will likely end up on the same line as Kreider (at least at the start of the season) since hes the only other person on the team that speaks Russian.

Never mind line 1,2,3,4. It sorts itself out on the ice. Coaches and players can't even predict how it's going to play out..
