Good point - do you think a 2nd really moves Dadonov? Do you think he agrees?
I figured the 1-year rental of Miller was a good way for vegas to get another quality player for another push next year while gaining flexibility the year after, the cost being Theodore. I agree they underachieved massively this year
I think a 2nd would get it done. Gotta remember, they were super handcuffed when they made that ill-fated deal with the Ducks, which had John Moore's $2.75 mil coming back, but I think if they've got a full offseason to figure it out, a 2nd should be fine. It's only a 10 team NTC, so it's hard to say who it covers.
I feel like offence isn't really the main worry for them though, right? Like yeah, adding JT Miller for a year would be hilarious, but the main priority should be getting everyone healthy, and trying to run it back. A healthy Vegas team stomps the majority of that division, You trade a guy like Theodore, and in all likelihood you're trying to find a guy like Theodore a few months later. IMO he's as valuable, if not more, than Chychrun.
Edit: $6.5 mil cash for Dadonov next year, so maybe they try to do exactly what they already tried, which was acquire a LTIR contract to swap? If not, yeah, it might cost a bit more.
