The middle six winger market is incredibly soft and its time people on here finally realised this fact.

You're only valuable if you are a superstar or make less than 2 mil

This hurts. Smitty was one of my favorite Knights. Way under value.

Vegas had to clear cap, Pittsburgh get a Zucker replacement. Decent trade for both

the cap tax, Vegas simply had to move some cap out, even if it's undervalue

Good way to keep the competitive window open. Seems like Granlund is on his way out… to Chicago 🔜⁉️

So, basically, Vegas thinks Reilly Smith is worth less than Teddy Blueger.

Given that the same draft pick from the Blueger trade is used in this trade.



This is a fleecing.

Pittsburgh wins the trade.

Does Vegas resign Barbashev, or do they go after Zucker? This trade is raising some big questions.

This is either making room for a Debrincat trade, Lehner coming back, or extending Barbashev

But the 0 VGK loyalty lives on

Teams know Vegas had to make room and remember Smith had a no-trade list they had to follow. And then the teams that are not on his list have to have the $5m/yr room.

Fair trade

Hopefully that doesn't unravel Vegas.

Edit: Hopefully that unravels Vegas.

Vegas must be clearing cap for something. Interesting that they reacquired their own 2024 pick. Are they thinking of an offer sheet?

Good pickup for Pittsburgh. A top 6 winger on a reasonable contract that doesn't run past his 35th birthday.

How many 5+ million dollar players north of 30 does Pitt have now?

Wasn't the thing they were talking about needing was youth and speed?

Great pickup for Pittsburgh. Smith may not have the best contract but he is worth more than a 3rd rounder.

If you're evaluating this transaction purely as an exchange of pieces, what Pittsburgh got is obviously the more valuable of the two.

But some pieces had to leave Vegas for the cap to work, so in this case, the space they made has value too. We'll see what they use it for.
