Ehhh no!

Definitely worse. You don't move that many pieces and expect to not have continuity issues. You have guys fitting the system and playing well and you move them out for guys in other systems and expect instant success. It doesn't happen that way very often.

*IF* Vegas makes a move for a goalie to fill in for Lehner, it's not going to be one that has a cap hit moving forward. They simply can't afford to pay 2 goalies $8+ mil with the other contracts that they have. They also absolutely shouldn't be paying to move Smith, who would have a pretty solid market if they decided to move him.

It is definitely different.

It is also, definitely worse. The quality of players you're getting are fine I suppose-- but they don't fit the TO roster for role/scheme.

All the teams decline the offers, too. LV can't take term based on their cap situation. No incentive for Ottawa to make the swap. NJ would rather have Zacha than that package.

LOL Toronto fan ACGMs are always somehow embarrassing.

Tell me, why would OTT make this move?

Lol no chance from vegas.
