VGK isn’t going to be able to retain salary and take more on. Also don’t think they’ll send a pick out if they are retaining salary

I mean they are getting a competent backup for lehner

I don't think Fleury is the solution we need.

That’s great but it doesn’t help the cap situation lol

vegas just added salary in this deal

Which defeats the purpose of them moving Fluery

Flower is old and isnt that good anymore

Fleury and NJ's 2021 2nd rd pick, for Francouz, No salary retained as Vegas needs a backup as nobody is in their system, and they would have to pay to take on 2 years at $7M cap hit.



Fleury is a great locker room guy, has won cups and was apparently great and supportive of Murray when he had taken the reigns, and he's still a solid tender.


No need for Hall, you need depth scoring, a veteran like Craig Smith, or Toffoli would likely come in cheaper, allowing to keep Donskoi and round out the middle 6

Zadorov could be moved in a separate deal.

Colorado would have no interest at $7m, it's just way too much considering our cap structure in 2021 especially. Fleury isn't $3.7m better than Grubauer, if at all even.

Retention would be much more valuable than the draft pick though.

less of a question of him being XX-million better, and more of "when will Grubauer get injured again", what dragged them down this off-season was relying on Francouz and Hutchinson to be a true-starter and carry the team... a Fleury/Grubauer tandem can do that.

With Cole, Grubauer and Calvert coming off the books that should give you enough to sign Landeskog (+2.5-3M over current) and sign Makar 8 years 8M.

definitely Salary retention might be more attractive, Vegas needs the room too.
The Zadarov subsequent trade could be for a more attractive piece on a good contract.

Any team would be screwed if both their starter and backup got injured.

Makar will get $9m+.
