Why is Vegas trading Marchessault while tied for first in its division?

Why would Buffalo not be on his Modified NTC list?

- buffalofan19



They're not.

But trades are easy.

Ill go with a standard answer of winning cures everything. You want continuity in players who suck? OF a 22 man roster we only "need" to keep like 4 of them

I forgot johansson has been here for 8 years, never played in the playoffs and never made a cup run

Not to mention, they're up against the cap, aren't they?

Money in, money out.

They want a depth defenseman, and you don't give up players for those.

If it's the cap they're worried about, they'll take care of that in the offseason.

e-rod 7 points in last 16 games

johansson 6 points in last 16 games

- homiedclown


Erod looking like the player I thought he would be lately, doesnt mean much

I'm not trying to die on the johansson hill. My point is beyond any specific player. He just happens to be pretty new here and holds some real credentials

I saw it. It was speculation by Die By the Blade.

Most of the ideas don't make any sense from Vegas' perspective. Yes, they need a defenseman, but they're not going to sacrifice key contributors up front.

If a trade like that happens, it will be in the summer, not next week.

Same as what I mentioned before, quite as of now. Tuch and others are on great contracts makes no sense for the Knights to trade any.

Even if they weren't, teams in their position in the standings don't worry about the cap at the deadline. They take care of it in the offseason.

maybe they feel its unfair to have players on good contracts and want everyone to be on an even playing surface so they will trade us a good contract for a terrible contract.. Tuch for Okposo?

I'm not so sure that's a great contract. 6 more years at $4.75
