The "Cheaters" chorus is going to be bellowing full bore. As for the Flames 2026 Unprotected 1st probably better than Protected 2025 1st, except that it pushes our recovery back even further.... Makes Vegas look Double-Stacked, but hey, they are only what, 6 pts up on the Flames and may not even make the playoffs. GFG! Also, likely Hertl only a UFA and could be a good signing target come July 1. EDIT: Not a UFA, 2nd year of 8 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otown72 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Hertl has 7 yrs left. How are Vegas able to do this lol. Not really a rental unless they plan on trading him in the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Vegas cap next year really isn't a problem. Around 16 mill in space (assuming about an 88 mill cap) and that includes Lehner whose career is done so it's actually more like 20 mill in space. They had the room. Be curious to see what this means for Hanifin though. Maybe he is a rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare that to Lindholm wanting $9mm for 8 years here. Whew, wow avoided that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross16 Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 I have no idea what the Sharks are doing. This is a steal IMO for Vegas. Long term cap pain mind you as I think Hertl has a bad contract but that isn' tmuch to give up for a really good player for the next few years.

cberg Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Well, seems like that is that on the 2024 TDL. Should be hearing from Conroy pretty soon, I'd think. Not like he's been too busy making deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
