Blömqvist Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 To Edmonton RD Chris Tanev To Vegas C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins VAN 2nd (33rd overall) To Vancouver D Shea Theodore WPG 1st (13th overall; previously acquired by Vegas) After acquiring C Ryan Strome and clearing $3.5M in cap space, Edmonton trades C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for RD Chris Tanev. Trading from a position of strength and adding Tanev would complete their defense core and provide the Oilers extra cap relief of about $1.5M. Las Vegas has made a few deals to give them young assets and picks that they can flip for proven players. Here, the Golden Knights flip LD Shea Theodore and the 13th overall pick (previously acquired from Winnipeg) for C Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of the Oilers and the 33rd overall pick from the Canucks. Nugent-Hopkins, who is still young and signed on for several more years, gives the Golden Knights a face for their franchise. Vegas can market the former 1st overall pick. RNH alongside another big name James Neal and up-and-comer Jonathan Marchessault will provide Vegas with good offense and can keep fans happy by lighting up the lamp. Vancouver deals out the best player in this trade (and an early 2nd rounder) but acquires a local kid who has big time upside as a defenseman as well as the 13th overall pick. Shea Theodore is a defenseman who can move the puck up ice and quarterback the powerplay. He is no slouch defensively as well. He was a highly-touted prospect coming out of junior. The 13th overall pick gives us a chance at drafting a RHD such as Timothy Liljegren or Cal Foote. If both are gone by then we may have a shot at forwards Elias Pettersson, Martin Necas, or Nick Suzuki. At the draft: @5: Cody Glass @13: Timothy Liljegren @55: Jonah Gajdovich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Chiarelli said he's not looking to add Ds in the off-season. He wants to give the opportunity to Nurse and Benning to have a bigger role - he was specifically asked because of the Sekera injury. He also said that he wants to bring Russel back. Edmonton actually like RNH a lot - it was all praise by Chiarelli and McLellan. I don't think they want to move him and Tanev is not the type of D they were looking for. They were looking for a PP QB but Chiarelli feels that they don't need one anymore. Vegas could have just picked Vatanen or Manson instead of making a deal with Anaheim. It's doubtful they would want to move Theodore when they had to take Stoner in return to get him. McPhee wants to build his team through the draft - they are targeting prospects and draft picks. He says he wants 10-12 draft picks over the next 2-3 drafts. Foley said that McPhee was really anxious to get more draft picks not only for 2017 but also 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Bur14Kes17 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The evaluations actually I think are pretty fair. But that's still the most sexual trade proposal I've seen in CDC history. "Title of your porn film!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did say if they were to trade Tanev a young Dman would have to be the return (IE:Theodore) but it is very unlikely he gets moved . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwijibo Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 As per LeBrun's twitter feed. Vegas has gotten calls on many of their young guys. Three teams called about Shea Theodore already. Answer was clearly No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
