You probably didn't notice, but I posted something like this an hour ago with WSH getting Peterka, Pachal, VGK 2nd, and Buf 3rd. Another Buffalo fan bargained down from Peterka and a 3rd to Ruotsalainen and a 2nd.

The other part of the WSH deal I threw in, that I think could be win-win, is Hagelin for Stephenson. Stephenson is a little bit younger, but Hagelin has one more Cup ring, and a third line of Janmark, Karlsson, and Hagelin would have two speedy puck possession wings feeding the puck to the great goal scorer in the middle, and all speaking the same languages.

If that leaves VGK thin at forward depth until Eichel and Stone get back, they can trade a 4th to STL for Brown, and a 1st to Ari for Boyd and a retained Hot Dog Phil.

I think you’re trying too hard here

And I think Mantha could get 40 goals a year if he played top line on a playoff team.

Maybe?
But trader rarely have 12 pieces & 3way trades with all those pieces would be even harder to pull off

True, because it's hard to get all the teams under the cap. I think you've got Vegas a little bit over. But wait. I'm gonna flip Mantha for Kessel and they'll be alright. Nope. I'm wrong. Still over. Even buried Patrick, Carrier, Eakin, Janmark, and Hinostroza in the minors to play Galchenyuk and Baertschi. They could dump some of the guys you added, but it'll cost them. Try again from their side, and give WSH some sweeteners.

I got Vegas as 1.3 mil under the cap when I did from their side - remember they lose 10 mil from Smith and Dadnov - they are not retaining Buffalo is retaining - they lose about 7.5 mil from Tuch and Stephenson, and about 2.5 mil from the rest so total around 20 mil -then gain 10 mil Eichel+ 5.7 mil Mantha and Eakin + Hinostroza = 2.3 mil so around 18mil total

Who knows?
But this type of trade he’s suggesting seems VERY complicated

Kinda sounds like VGK & CGY are currently bidding against each other

Nah. Sabresforlife is simplifying this trade. You should see it, before! https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/edit/2880724
