Teams aren't going to go out of their way to help Vegas out. If I was Vegas, I wouldn't trade my leading goal scorer either. This doesn't make sense for either team.

Roy and Hague both have to laugh at those deals

7 years for a 31 year old Smith…

He could fetch 6M/a year otherwise. And I've seen enough wingers playing fine up to 37 to convince me it's not a bad idea

I dunno how NYR is helping Vegas

vancouver is already cap constraint, not taking on a uncessary five mil

Rangers arent making this trade unless they know they can trade him in the offseason.

I think Vancouver could/should consider this if it were available and if they create cap space though other trades.
If Vancouver commits to a partial rebuild and want to create future cap space this makes sense to me. Poolman is overpaid, so if there is an opportunity to move on from his 4 year contract you have to strongly consider it. If the team trades Miller, Boeser and or Garland there will be a need for top 6 wingers, Dandonov could fill one of those spots for the rest of this season and is only under contract for one more season after this one. If the team is rebuilding he would be an decent asset they could then flip at next years deadline for additional futures.

Miller or someone else is probably gonna be gone soon, unfortunately

There will be a market for Marchessault, but why do you wanna trade him right away

rangers don't have cap space for that. especially not retaining chytil

but miller will almost certaintly have retention attached and we will get new players in return

will also need more rhd

*better RHD

Dont have the cap space to keep him and the core of the team.

Fair.

Trouba trade?

Hes got a NMC and will definitely not waive it.
