Vegas traded (and didn't receive) a 5th round pick

Which was my point, Vegas came into the league with a bunch of picks, that they are steadily trading away. Not sure what interpretation you made on "drying up" but it appears to differ from my own.

Hagelin is ready to come off LTIR. The Capitals had to find cap space to activate him.  All their roster players are waiver eligible other than D-man Siegenthaler and they are already down to 6 Ds and backup goalie Samsonov.   It was likely lose him for nothing on waivers or get a draft pick.

that makes sense. thanks for clarifying

There was no way he'd clear.

Like when we picked up Leivo?

I find NHL trading of fringe players a little strange. A serviceable NHLer/ top line AHL guy is worth 5th round pick?! Basically you’re trading a fringe player for a 5% chance that the new player will play in the nhl..

Gaudette was drafted with a spare 5th round pick.  Yeah, it’s a crapshoot you’ll get even a good AHLer at that point, but with this team’s excellent drafting...why wouldn’t you want more picks?
