Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Vegas Gets a top 4 LHD, 24 years old on a reasonable, long term deal. Still has potential too.

They get a good prospect in Legare. Almost NHL ready. He scored 3 goals in 2 preseason games last training camp. And made the Pens sign him to a two way contract. He almost won a roster spot. He’s 6’0, 205, he is physically ready. A top 6 RW potential. Right-Handed shot. And knowing how Vegas has done with prospects, I bet he becomes an all-star.

Vegas gets A.Angello 6’5, 210 pound, power forward. Bottom 6. Got alittle NHL experience last season for the Pens when they had some injuries. He should be the 1st call-up this year if he doesn’t win a roster spot.

Plus 2 second round picks.

And get the cap space provided by getting rid of Pacioretty.

**Vegas is never gonna get back equal value to what they gave up. Unless they hit on a prospect or a pick and get lucky like Montreal did with Suzuki. So taking a prospect package and picks is their best bet to get back that Suzuki value. The prospect package in Legare/Angello and the two 2nd round picks, plus a proven NHL defensemen that is still young and still has potential there too, is good value IMO.

The only other big contract that Vegas has, that they can/should get rid of, is MA Fluery.. I looked at thei roster. There isn’t even another players contract worth taking for them. None of them are bad except Fluery’s and Pacioretty’s. And Fluery’s wouldn’t be bad if he was a starting goaltender. Trade him to Carolina. Or Edmonton or Buffalo. They need Goalie help IMO.
