martyrme19 73 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 1st 2nd and 3rd is what I'm hearing. That'd be a great haul - although I was not in a hurry to see Tatar go myself. Now I'll be interested in finding out who's draft picks they are. LV had acquired a few so the picks could be theirs or from other teams. If the 1st if LV's, I'd be ok with it being next year's draft and bank on their magical run this year being a magical fluke and have them drop to the lottery next year! 1 Gordie Howe hat trick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckbags 863 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) If we got 3 picks for Tatar and unloaded 5.3 million is salary I will be giddy. Apparently it's a 1st in 2018, 2nd in 2019 and 3rd in 2022 2021 Edited February 26, 2018 by puckbags Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc Holliday 1,888 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 That 2019 2nd is a pretty damn fine get considering I think the Knights are going to collapse next season. 1 LeftWinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShakeAndBake 1 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 Hopefully they get bounced in the first round this year. That'd be sweet to have a top 10 and top 20 pick 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 No salary retained AND 3 picks.. impressive. I’ll miss Tatar, but I can’t be upset about the trade at all. 3 puckbags, krsmith17 and 13dangledangle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shocky2002 36 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Great haul for sure. Tatar is a really good player despite having a couple of down seasons in a row (mostly due to coaching and bad chemistry due to constant line changes). It's hard to look at his puck possession metric from 2013-15 and not be impressed. I really think he's better than Rick Nash, whom the Bruins grossly overvalued. Still, this is a deal that you make ten times out of ten. Edited February 26, 2018 by shocky2002 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MabusIncarnate 5,355 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 Great deal as far as i'm concerned. Now patiently waiting for late news on Green.. starting to be less optimistic though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richdg 267 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 Very good trade. Moved him before the NTC starts. Now use those picks smartly and we will come out ahead in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brett 1,029 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 like i said before...let me know when those picks can replace tatar. what are we going to get a late 20s pick whoopdee doo thats going to help the future good job 2 Hockeymom1960 and Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shocky2002 36 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 I am LOLing at people who think this is an atrocious deal for Vegas. They did the right thing by buying and going hard for the cup. There's a decent chance that they won't be nearly this good for the next 3 years. Why not just go for it all now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus you'd have to think that the 2021 3rd may be just like a low 2nd as well. I give Kenny credit for today. Couldn't trade Green because of the injury, not his fault, refused to get fleeced for disney.com, good job! Shed cap, got 3 picks in return. two things I want to point out here, three actually: 1. It's nice to NOT see Detroit at the top of the salary chart! 2. Its very nice to see 6 picks in the 1st 3 rounds. Plus considering where us and Ottawa are going to finish, it's almost like having FOUR 1st round picks! 3. With this trade, we now have $18.1M cap space for July, add t that Franzen's $3.9M LTIR and that is $22M. I would say that is enough to re-sign all out RFA's PLUS make a run at JT if he's interested. As long as if Green re-signs, its for much less than $6M.

Maybe it was because a) Tatars contract is worse and b) KH possibly looks to cash in on Goose as a deadline rental next year? Grade A for this trade, no doubt. I like Tatar, but with this return, it's just a no-brainer. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
