We could definitely get more for Freddy. Even with a slightly disappointing year, he's worth more than a second.

Robin Lehner got a 2nd and he played in front of a worse defense and played light years better between the pipes. I really don't think you will. Hawks pass. Crawfords been VERY vocal about wanting to stay in Chicago AND that money's not a concern for him at this stage in his career. He's still a FAR FAR FAR better goalie than Freddie and will likely cost less...while keeping the 2nd too.

fine we trade him to another team that needs a G for a 2nd. Also worth noting he is owed only 1M in cash this year so frugal owner will care...

point is we offload freddie for whatever futures he is worth. debating that in a vacuum is a waste of my time.

Montreal likely not giving up a 3rd rounder for a bottom 6 winger, they already have enough of those.

i am not really fussed who takes him but suspect someone would pay a 3rd

Excellent point!!! I did not know that. OTT will pay up for this FOR SURE. They need a goalie and we all know Melnyk is gonna Melnyk this off season.

teams will pay a 2nd for him, not a 3rd

As Preds fan - I would say: "yes,yes,yes".
And I think most likely Preds should add that 4th round pick, not TOR.

so you say. we may found out.

NSH accepts

Why is vegas doing this deal? Roy has looked every bit as good as Kerfoot, makes 2 million less and we don’t have to give up a 3rd to keep him lol.

one guy has played and produced for full seasons, can play wing on top two lines if needed. can play 2PP. The other hasn't played a full year in the NHL and would be in the press box on the above team.

Roy not really the critical part of what i am doing here, but i am trying to get some cheap centre depth, so swap out Vegas for another team and it doesn't change the structural accomplishment

Habs agree, then swap Johnsson for a second
