Cash or Czech Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 That's cap space for Vegas and a starting netminder for Chicago. Makes sense. Love Fleury too tbh, always hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Fleury to Chicago. No salary retained. Nothing going back to Vegas. Man these 'something for nothing' trades are all the rage this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash or Czech Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 So Vegas just moved out $7mil in cap space with nothing coming back, and still have a starting goaltender. Net net with Martinez re-signing is $2mil in savings, $7mil in current cap space with only Nolan Patrick to re-sign and a backup goalie to find. Might be a quiet offseason for them, but hold onto that space for more deadline/mid-season moves. Blackhawks are now over the cap, but have four goaltenders on the roster. Remove two, and just need to shed another $1mil or so. I think Chicago is trying to retool on the fly as quickly as possibe. Maybe one more shot with Kane and Toews? Both have two years left on their deals. Not an easy division with the Avalanche, Blues, Jets, and Wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valriera Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 This offseason should really, really make GMs think long and hard before handing out bad contracts since this is now the third case of a team needing to give up a talented player for absolutely nothing in order to clear cap space. It looks so much worse than a buyout really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks so much worse than a buyout really Why? If the price to dispose of excess cap is a mid-round draft pick tied on, that's way better than a buyout. Buying out Fleury, or Ladd, or Gostisbehere would have been significant cap hits over multiple years. This way, these teams threw picks with ~5% chance of making the NHL at teams with space and got the whole thing off the books in one shot. They invented a new buyout.

Sod16 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I think Chicago is trying to retool on the fly as quickly as possibe. It will be interesting to see how this works in comparison to our burn it down and start again approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash or Czech Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Does Chicago go out and sign another starter? Or do they pray Fleury doesn’t retire? If he retires in a month, and all the other starters are signed, they’re kinda effed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I’m not exactly sure why he wouldn’t want to play there specifically. They aren’t a bad team, it’s a great city, and they absolutely can make the playoffs. Having said that, I get where he’s passed. I would be too. Vegas hasn’t exactly treated him all that great since trading for Lehner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Is a Penguins reunion out of the question? They could flip him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valriera Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 That's hockey I guess? I don't know something about this one really stinks. You trade your franchise goalie who has backstopped your team to immense playoff success in its first few years of existence...for nothing? To clear cap room? Anyway, I don't think any of these athletes cry too long about these sorts of things with their millions of dollars but this one has to sting a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsm7302 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 If I am MAF, im retiring. Screw it. You won cups and awards. Why start over and move your family for the twilight of your career. There is nothing left to achieve if your heart isn't in it especially at his age. Shitty way to end a FANTASTIC career but that is life. It isnt always a beautiful ceremony.
