Vegas wins the big picture deal by reading 2 effective yet overpaid assets for a 3rd and a 4th and then signing a legit superstar number 1 D with the cap savings.

I agree with the notion this is 2 division rivals helping g each other out. I think Vancouver was really all in on OEL and when that fell through there wasn’t much left to replace the lost Tanev. I think Schmitt is overpaid but not a horrible contract (definitely no worse than what we paid Tanev) and a 3rd round pick is getting to that throw away category (used to trade up a spot or 2 in the draft or for a deadline pick like Gus). I think this helps Vancouver for a cheap price and totally worth it for Vegas to sign Pietrangelo
