Vegas just gifted the Blackhawks Marc-Andre Fleury.....complete salary dump. Nothing going back to Vegas in the trade lol.
I hate Vegas
Vegas needed to get out of either his or Lehrners deal and Stan Bowman (given the Tyler Johnson trade today) is apparently very content to alleviate the cap issues of the leagues upper echelon.
I just don't understand why Bowman didn't ask for the opportunity to call MAF before the deal was announced in order to gauge his interest and see if he was going to play, but I guess its easy not to care if the upside is a free Vezina winner and the downside is 7 mil in cap space.
Now let us all come together in the hopes that Dougie Hamilton is jersey bound by noon tomorrow. I'm normally not in favor of spending yuge on term and money in FA but 28 year old right handed d-men that are giants with huge slapshots are hard to come by and usually age well.
