Not that its not good value but Vegas won't move Whitecloud on that contract with their current cap situation

Why are you retaining on Zaitsev, and then using draft capital to dump the pick if youre not going to use the cap space?

Yeah, hard to imagine 99% of teams saying no to this deal, because the value is certainly there, but Vegas has show that they couldn't give two shakes about pick or prospects at this point, and 100% agree with Whitecloud's contract. I also think Ottawa can probably get a higher end player for that pick.

Is whitecloud a good top 4 Dman ?

There's a lot of cap value in that Whitecloud deal, but Roy isn't close to a 4mil top 6 forward to me. If Ottawa isn't adding a true 1st line winger to play with Stützle I'm not interested at all in moving a top 10 pick.

Hes probably a #4 right now but will continue to develop and even if he stays as is, 2.75M for 6 years is good

Solid #4.

Swap him out for Shea Theodore?

Lol not happening either. Those two along with Petro are probably the none touchables

Naw, Theodore tips the scales way farther. Vegas is just going to throw some picks out to dump 9-10 mil, then they’ll be fine
