Kenny Powers Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) “The Golden Knights were dealt a tough blow learning that Mark Stone would be out indefinitely after undergoing a second surgery on Tuesday. He’s what stirs the drink in Vegas and it is expected the team will quickly start looking for pieces that can come in a help replace his production by committee. It has not been determined if he’ll miss the remainder of the season but should he go on LTIR, the Golden Knights have over $12 million in cap space with which to make a move.” Golden Knights need a top 6 RW, and we need a 22 year old RHD prospect Kaedan Korczak, who just finished some spot duty in the NHL, and could fit our window of being competitive in 2-3 years. Surprisingly, Brock has 8 fewer points than Stone this season, and they may be interested if we retain significant salary. Vegas has 7 D ahead of Korczak signed through next season, and has $15M space to sign 2-4 players next season. To VGK: Brock Boeser, $1.5M retained To VAN: Kaedan Korczak, 2023 2nd What do you think?

It does seem like forever… you don’t believe the reports that several teams are seriously interested if we retain ~ $1.3M? Recently reported NJ and Washington for example.

I felt obligated at this point Uhh, that's a tricky one tbh, they'd be giving up a 2nd plus an RD they drafted rather high at 41OA in 2019, that's quite a bit more than the Boeser for a 2nd I've seen floating around CDC even with a bit of retainment on Boeser's deal I could very well just see Vegas going with what they've already got, they've moved out quite a few picks and prospects since entering the league and at some point they've gotta start actually holding on to their assets so as to build their prospect pool up Their pool def falls towards the bottom of the league as well, they need to think about the future If it were just Boeser for one piece or the other maybe, but I think that's probably more than Boeser is worth at this point tbh I could also see Vegas balking at that price and looking elsewhere, Tarasenko out of St. Louis would be a good fit for example as a guy they could look to either rent or retain, it's been rumoured he's wanted out seemingly for years and he's a pending UFA Tarasenko also has a much better track record of producing when healthy and the Blues look like a long shot at this point, could be best to just turn the page Edited February 4 by Coconuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just Boeser retained for Korczak gets it done. He probably would, Vegas would have to give up different pieces likely, it'd be very Vegas of them to go after Tarasenko as a rental They're in a weird spot where most of their core is actually on the older side, if they're going to win a cup with this group it'll probably have to be sooner than later I hate to say it but Meier would actually make more sense from an age range perspective, Meier will be 27 in October whereas Tarasenko will be 32 in December Eichel is 26 so it'd be more along the lines of giving him a longer term running mate The wrinkle is Vegas's goaltending and Marshy's having one year remaining on his deal after this one, you can only have so many larger money forward contracts I'd do that Boeser deal, it'd be Boeser for Korczak + cap space, that being said Meier is definitely a more attractive option even if he'd cost more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) I really like Brock but as far as the trade market goes I wouldn't be surprised if teams looked at him as more of a short-term budget option (budget in terms of they'd have to give up less to acquire him than other options, I don't think his cap hit is gonna be appealing to teams without retention if they aren't sending cap back) And that isn't to trash Boeser by any means, he's still on pace for top six production and that's all he's produced over the course of his career But that being said, he's looked at as more of a goal scorer and he hasn't been doing as much of that this season, that doesn't really help a team if they're looking for more of a trigger man It's been speculated around here for most of the season that Brock is on outs, if he is I'm sure it's known around the league, guess we'll see If he is traded elsewhere I hope he can bounce back though, he's one of the more likeable humans on the team Edited February 4 by Coconuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still retain to make sure it happens. Maybe 1.5? That way, VGK can use that $ to get a bottom pair D if Rathbone doesn't work out. Just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that'd do much in terms of trade value tbh Rathbone will be 24 in May and hasn't shown much at the NHL level yet, he's reaching the point where it's more likely he is what he is than being a legit prospect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other, better targets out there and I'd rather keep Boeser if we have to add and retain but that was a thought I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
