Explain to me why the Vegas trade is sensible. Vegas is legitametly the last team that needs players on expiring contracts AND they are giving up the better pick and the WAY cheaper player. Doesn't make sense

and were not getting younger by trading away our young players to get young players back

Marchessault and Nash both on expiring contracts. Nash is a better player. He has a good portion of salary retained. Vegas has plenty of cap room so it's not a problem. He has more value at the trade deadline than Marchessault, when Vegas will probably try and trade a lot of their expiring assets anyway for picks. Nash is also way way more marketable than Marchessault which is what they need this season.


All 3 players I traded for are younger than the players I traded. Also assuming I should be able to off Staal to Florida (when NMC turns to NTC) or just buy him out next season when it's less costly.
