Or Johnson signs and goes to RD, after watching him this year Johnson is pretty good on both sides.

This is kinda interesting as it’s been a super common target on capfriendly

Can Hague play RD?

He had a down year, wonder if they can buy low.

Curious that would be a celery they'd want to part with. Wonder if his agent sees him as a top 4 and he isn't being used as such.

I don't understand the motivation behind Vegas wanting to trade him. He's cheap, young and quality bottom 4. You'd think they'd be more interested in trading, I don't know, Pacioretty.

You gotta get off the "they need a RD".

Their top 4 looks set and they're not as focused on "sides", more just focused on getting a good D man.

This is per KA.

if they get players that are comfortable playing both sides of the plate like Gerbe is, i am ok with it.

hopefully they can work something out with Johnson

Would be an interesting move, to tell Vegas he thinks he's top four, then Vegas trades him to play behind Dahlin and Power. Either way, acquisition cost should be relatively low because as you said, he's bottom 4 LHD. If history holds, like a 3rd maybe? That's what Zadarov got last offseason.

Get ready for Joker in the top four. They liked what they saw with those two pairs at the end of the year.

Are they looking at anyone, or are they still reading the Arbitration Rules for Olofsson

Underrated players that are low cost that need a change of Scenery .

I'd give them their 2nd back and call it a day.

smart teams do it. The Avs did it. The Lightning did it. The Panthers did it.

Problem is, if you wanna call it that, it's not sexy up front, till it is.
