The trouble with Dadadov trade is that if he that M NTC, it's finding the team he would wants to be traded to, and can have his cap for next year.
Vegas other option not to trade Davodov and trade Reilly Smith 5m and is UFA next season. That would be a cheap trade.
Yeah, as far as I can tell, the teams that are 100% out of the playoffs & with 5m in cap space are Arizona, Buffalo, Columbus, Detroit, New Jersey, Ottawa (ha), Philly & Seattle - I think it's a safe bet that at least two of the eight are out (most likely Arizona and Ottawa) but given that we know that Anaheim is on his no fly list (sorry, sorry, i crack myself up), I think it's unlikely that all of them are off the table. There's got to be at least a couple of teams on that list that Vegas can try calling - and if I'm one of those GMS I take them for all I can.
They'd be insane to try and move Smith. Sure, he's UFA next season, but it would be a genuine mistake to break up the Misfit Line if they're serious about trying to make the playoffs.
