For a 2nd in ‘24 and 4th round pick in ‘26, plus %50 salary retention. Did the golden knights at least use some lube on Caps management.
>:( :wtf:

Because of the LTIR exemptions, the Caps don't have any issues with salary. But Vegas probably does, which is why the Caps have to retain salary.
I think people have unrealistic expectations of what you can get for a rental.

Looks to me like Vegas got the better of this deal. We will see what the market turns out to be for rentals, but we got a 2nd that will probably be in the last 4 picks of the second round, and then a 4th that has a very low chance of producing anything. I was hoping for more, especially in a scenario where we retained a significant amount of salary.
Mantha was a dog for us, for most of his contract, but he is actually playing great right now and could make a big impact in the playoffs. I am pretty disappointed in this deal.
