<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knights20</b></div><div>I like Marchessault but he just hogs shot attempts and doesn’t bring much defensively. Hoffman is a more efficient shooter and a better skater two things Vegas lacks. Marchessault is terrible on the powerplay and we have enough righties on PP1. The gap between those two is smaller than you think and we get a reliable 1B goalie.</div></div>

See i value Hoffman for the same reasons so i feel you got a logical approach in your reasoning for the move.
Where you lose me kinda is Marchessault is a great 200ft player who is good defensively just bad at handling multiple people in 2v1,3v1 and even 3v2 assignments.
1 on 1 defensive assignments he's actually pretty good i found in the games vs MTL dating back to FLA days
Plus he's coming off a career high 20 PP points but to your point will likely drop off again as he's largely an even strength player.

I look at Marchessault like JG Pageau or Yanni Gourde just with better and more consistent Goal Scoring
Good 3rd line guy who can play 2nd line as long as he has great chemistry with the guy like he does Reilly Smith
Few in his position as consistent as Marchessault has been so MTL would love to have him as would many teams

Karlsson i just figured is the 4 year 5.9m contract for a player who's consistently declined every years since re-signing .
I dont think he's bad i just think some players need a change for whatever reason, Marchesault needed 2 before he became a consistent player
I think Karlsson would also fit in nicely in MTL to help mentor Dach into a Center of Value in the Faceoff Circle at the very least.

or even Martinez who's been a brick since back to back deep runs his first 2 years
Just surprised Marchesault is the guy you'd wanna move to get Hoffman
We will take it though lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knights20</b></div><div>I was wrong. That’s interesting (and sketchy). I think the value is fair enough but both assets aren’t the best fit for Vegas imo. I’m not opposed to moving Pacioretty though and not a lot of teams can fit him in.</div></div>

The Myers situation is an anomaly due to his having a backloaded contract and being under 26. As sketchy as it may seem, it is 100% legit and allowed.

If Kunin isn't a fit for Vegas, the most I'd offer for Pacioretty is a 2nd and a small plus (Myers, if VGK wants him, or a long shot prospect if not). Like you say, Vegas doesn't have a ton of teams to trade with that can fit Patches in without retention. If NSH can get him cheap enough, I think he could be a smart add. But he's not someone I'd pony up more than that for.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knights20</b></div><div>It doesn’t give us extra space but the buyout isn’t bad at all. I could see Myers being included but he is a negative value asset. My problem with Kunin + Myers as a base is Kunin’s QO + Myers 600K buyout would still put us too tight to the cap.
I would take Myers off your hands but it would require Tolvanen instead of Kunin to make the cap and value work.</div></div>

Buying out Myers would give them a negative cap hit (so extra cap space essentially) of $616K for 22-23, and a cap hit of $633K for 23-24. If that helps VGK - cool, but NSH wouldn't include him in a Patches trade if Vegas views him as a negative asset. The Preds can trade him to another team hurting for cap space (TBL, TOR, FLA, etc), or just bury him for the year if it comes to that.

I'd still prefer your Kunin and a 3rd counter-offer, over a proposal that involves Tolvanen.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knights20</b></div><div>Agree that Knights aren’t in position to fetch a 1st given the current marketplace and Patches injury history. I would ask for Kunin + 3rd though, Myers contract is a no go.

If I’m being picky I’d want a lefty in return since Eichel seems to have better chemistry with lefties. Tolvanen for Pacioretty swap would be interesting imo.</div></div>

I offered VGK Myers because I thought his unique buyout situation might help Vegas with the cap (buying out Myers gives them an extra $600K in cap space for next season). I'd be OK with Kunin and a 3rd for Patches. I'm less eager to give up on Tolvanen, but other Preds fans might not mind as much.

It's funny that NSH has already traded away my 4th line RW since I posted this. Alas.
