Fleury is still a cap jettison though

Overlooked is that Vegas has been fantastic defensively so far and yes MAF has played well but his true talent rn is still about average (.905 last year)

Context ftw ✔

Pacioretty Eichel Stone

o m g

😳

Wait I mean

I can't see Colorado spending a first on a rental Hall. Their top 6 is pretty good.

Trade Brisson out. That’s theoretically 5 firsts with Krebs, him and Smith (I value him that easily)

I’d also rather trade Lehner, can’t see VGK letting the original face of the franchise go anywhere after the way he’s played this year

You can keep Hall, let him rot in Buffalo after pulling his BS stunt last offseason

He had his chance to play for contenders after saying all he wants is to win but then picks a team foe the most money in an effort to pad his stats to try to make more the next offseason

Sucks to suck hall

then they have no starter. could take out one piece tho (brisson)

Yeah and also seemed like they got their deadline deal out of the way early with Saad effectively, as well they're due to ascend after an early PDO lull in ways

That's really misguided to let Fleury's conceptual value (so to speak) get in the way of their precious cup window if they can replace him with JBernier etc.

I posted up above about how he's overrated rn

Franchises need to move beyond this stuff asap

Edit*

Patrick Marleau in TO all over again

Eichel, Reinhart, risto trades make no sense

Harsh but fair

One of the silliest things I've ever seen honestly

When he could have padded his stats beside the likes of MacKinnon, Panarin, etc. while contending too

"Aside from that Mrs. Lincoln; how was the show?"

It is harsh but this is the bed he made now he has to lie in it, the guy wants to be paid like a top guy but every team he has gone to, he doesn’t do anything to put them over the top and they all fail,

Time to realize he needs to be the 3rd or 4th fiddle on a team and accept a secondary role bc he’s not winning trying to be one of a teams top guys and high paid player

I agree, but a $4m Hall for 1 playoff run and jettisoning the rest of Compher's term almost makes me like losing the 1st

Big no from Dallas, Gurianov is untouchable.

We are the team that paid Reaves more money than Ny to get him to come back lol

For the Stars I'd do that if you change Gurianov to Hintz.

Nah you can move on from compher if they want to without giving up a 1st

Hall is one of the last guys I would want the avs to target as a rental

True, and I was speaking in jest.
but my many years of disliking Compher have taken their toll.

I think Hintz Is better

I don’t love Vegas as a spot for Eichel
Fleury & Smith are good players, but neither fit the timeline for another rebuild that we’ll be doing if we move Jack

Kings & Rangers seem like 2 teams with LOTS of young talent that would want him
Vegas just doesn’t have the pieces they do

vegas has the pieces but they would need to add Fleury or fleury and smith/marchessault/tuch to make cap work

Fleury and smith aren't even bad and can be flipped fore more futures if they want anyways

no way dallas does that.

Taking back Cap is no biggie
But u can’t really count that as an asset for Eichel if that’s the case then

im counting it a bit as an asset since goaltending Is weak for them and a good winger doesn't hurt

Maybe it counts a little,
but neither of those players would be a factor in beating out other offers
Again, we’d be starting a rebuild again
So 1 year of Fleury just doesn’t mean anything
Same with Smith
The only value they’d have to us is what we could turn around & trade them for- which is an unknown
