2) Kaedan Korczak (D)
Acquired: 2019 Entry Draft, 2nd Round, #41 overall
Age: 20 (January 29, 2001)
Most Recent Team: Henderson Silver Knights (AHL)
Previous Ranking: #4

Korczak worked his way up the depth chart for the Silver Knights as the year went on but could never find his place in the lineup permenantly. That should change this year as he’ll probably end up on the HSK top-pair fairly quickly. He’s close to being NHL ready, but the group of seven defensemen in front of him at the NHL level will likely keep him down. Wouldn’t be shocked to see his NHL debut in 2021-22 though.

More on Korczak
2/3/21 – The moment Vegas drafted Korczak we knew he was going to be a big guy, but he’s already a monster just one season removed from his draft year and he’s probably only going to get bigger. As he progresses through high levels like World Juniors and the AHL, it appears his calling card will be more as a defense-first penalty kill type player, but he’s certainly looking like he has an NHL future, and probably a long one

I like him a lot, could be a good partner for Dahlin and will not let people take liberties on him. Kid will answer the Bell

they both play about the same time in each game
but theordore's name has been out there and would probably be good for dahlin in the long run

Right?
And there was behavior that actually was questionable that could be brought up that would actually make sense

- jdfitz77



If eichel demanded Kane's number 9 jersey. Then I get it.

Olofsson has changed his number 4 times i think.

It doesnt mean much if the number is open

It was also his college number

You are pulling their top two prospects and their 4th. 2 centers and a d man.

Along with smith who you flip at the deadline for picks with celery retained.

I take that deal…

I like Sam the player, but it's certainly possible, same with Risto. Even if they generally were good guys, and tried to be positive the constant losing may have gotten the better of them, some guys that's just how it works. Guys like Girgs and KO seem like they'll keep going to the last bell, even if their talent isn't top notch. I would put myself on Sam's side, but I don't think it's a reach to say that a shake up of all 3 helped shift the culture.

Sam was not the issue inside that locker room.
Sam was the one player that wanted more accountability inside that locker room.
I know this as fact, as fact!
Jack has issues.
Jack was just one of the problems inside that locker room.

Sam, would have thrived under Coach Granato.
He's the biggest loss on this roster.

I just don’t see Vegas giving up their top 2 prospects. And we need the center more than the d man.

Krebs has to be the main piece or it just isn’t worth it

Agree with you, unless they want to move Theodore because korczak is about ready and they….

If not Theodore give me korczak! Lol.

But I don’t see them giving up the 2 top prospects.

Do you take….

Brisson

It doesn’t wow me, which means it’s probably pretty close. Lol

Yea a wow trade probably means a fleecing.
I think you are close to it with a Brisson.

Maybe add a conditional 1st pick in there with some pretty heavy conditions like Eichel 75 gets points or something.

Remember that LV is up against the cap so they’ll probably have to send back $10m in salaries, not taking into account LTIR

Can we take back $5. Vegas LTIR jack, activates for the playoffs and Vegas figures out the other $5 in the offseason?

They can do it, and they probably only have to move 1 contract for right know.

Yeah prob - that’s the Theodore angle.

I’d guess the trade could be something like:

Eichel, medium prospect

For

Theodore, smith, conditional 1st, medium prospect

Balances out cap. Conditional 1st based on jack’s health

If you retain money, it is for the life of the deal. At most 50%, so it would be $5m for each year left on the deal. Not doing that, unless they overpay, by a lot.

Vegas currently has 8 mil in cap space.

They’d only have to move 1 contract for now until other injuries start coming back.

Tuch, Krebs, smith, 1st Rd pick.

Call it a day
