NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

McKenzie: "PIT-OTT deal involving Brassard is ultra-complicated, so much so that Brassard will likely first be traded to a team other than PIT. Then flipped to PIT. Hearing that third team is likely VGK. Potential for layers of salary retention."

Slow clap...

Crosby getting a new winger out this

Does he get a free jersey for whatever team he's traded to first? Hang that shit on a wall when he retires. If it's Vegas can he get a ring too if they win?

don't blow it GMGM... no futures going out

nah, too early for a F.Forsberg for Erat type of deal, he is not desperate enough in his 1st season there

[Tony]

who knows with him... early success can be dangerous

[Loki]

Deal in it's current form rejected by the NHL. Being reworked. Guessing the double retention stuff is an issue

Chris Kreider back tonight

Any single player contract cannot be used in a "retained salary transaction" (trade) like this more than twice. I.E. (So if Ott. had agreed to retain some of Brassard salary when dealing him to Vegas, the Knights could not do the same if they traded him on this contract.)

Further

In order for @GoldenKnights or any other team to retain salary they must FIRST have the player on their reserve list. You can not do a 3 way trade & assert that one club pays part of the salary for another player that is not on reserve list. Just a guess as to the wrinkle.

Mantha Suffers Fractured Cheekbone

[Loki]

I don't think there's any current retention on Brassard so Ottawa and Vegas could both retain but it's possible they may have to have Brassard be a Golden Knight on paper for a day so that Vegas can retain on the deal

[lightupdadarkness]

Auston Matthews suffered damage to his shoulder last night, and will be out for “a bit” according to head coach Mike Babcock

So Vegas retains 40%, sends out Lindberg and get Reeves+4th for their trouble...seems counter productive to help the Penguins out there for them lol!

[Tony]

Foley is probably thrilled he finally has his black knight.

Yeah Vegas did the Pens a pretty big favour on that one
