<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SmoothMcCrimmonal</b></div><div>Pacioretty is a lazy comparison. Guy on the wrong side of 30 with a 7M cap hit coming off a season that he missed more than half the games because of injury is not the same as a 27 year old at 3M for 3 more years having a career year. He could take Stephenson's place in the lineup today and it would be hardly noticeable, there's no reason to prioritize him over Roy especially when the Hertl trade was effectively choosing Hertl over Stephenson long term. Saying that Vegas has a history of dumping guys out for new ones is not wrong, but there's no cap dump comparable to Roy to suggest he's close to being the next one.</div></div>

A fair point, although I think you're underselling how good Pacioretty was and how aggressive Vegas was in dumping him for future considerations. You're probably right though, this was mostly an exercise in seeing whether there's a way for Vegas to keep all their big pieces together this offseason, but I think it's likely and probably the right move to move on from Stephenson.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stammer_Time91</b></div><div>I guess depends on what you're after. I like my defenseman to be consistent. Big nights are a bonus, but I'm looking for them to get at least a point a game. As long as I know they will show up on the score sheet through blocks and hits or points, it works for my lineup. Blocked shots are .5 a piece for me, so If that applies to your situation, and these guys are available, Id go with TVR or Savard.</div></div>

I see your point but it's hard for me to justify getting someone who on average gets two less points each game just because he has slightly less games where he posts zero or negative points. I feel like on your point Matheson has been comparatively more consistent in relation to the other two players I mentioned, but it's hard to discern because they are both on new teams and have been consistently finding success there since they arrived.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>The money saved can be used to absorb a cap dump in another trade while accumulating assets so the retention is certainly worth something</div></div>

I was thinking about that but even if they have to retain half of the salary in another deal, that would still leave them 5 million for a cap dump and it is unlikely there will be a move this TDL for a cap dump worth more than 5 especially because those moves are pretty rare at the deadline unless we're talking about retaining in a three team deal in which case they have more than enough to do that with 5 (especially if they make another move like Barabanov which would clear slightly more space). My main point is that the Sharks are incredibly unlikely to reject a better deal just because your deal gives them slightly more cap to make some hypothetical cap dump move that is unlikely to happen. It doesn't move the needle in a trade given their cap situation and so really for practical purposes its a non-factor.
