The only good part of him going to VGK is it slightly hurting the Oilers chances

Problem is the picks won't be good even if you get lots.

The Boston or Leafs 26 pick is likely 20-15.

This trade just makes it more likely the 26 pick we already have from them is 28-32, and the 27 will likely be in a similar spot.

Unless it's 2 1sts and 2 prospects it's worse than what Boston had

He may not even end up signing with Boston. It's not a guarantee.

Frameworks for deals exist with Boston and atleast one other team (SJ i believe) however Boston is the only one negotiating at this time.

Ask from Andersson camp is $9M+. Not sure Boston is willing to pay that. So I can't tell you how long it will take so I would just go enjoy your Sunday.
Talk about yourself. I had this one pretty bang on with what I was hearing.

Sounds like the Flames did not give permission to Vegas to talk extension

#### Vegas and #### Ras for pulling a Hanifin. Hopefully Conroy learned a lesson or two about being too nice to his players

If that's true and no extension, we got Hanifin'ed again. That's fair to say I think.

Vegas is the only team that was confident they could re-sign him. Makes sense they don’t need an extension, for everyone else he was a pure rental.

Some of the offers were likely conditional upon Andersson signing. I expect Boston had one offer, based on him signing. There may not have been many rental offers of more than a first and some junk.

Hanifin didn't have an extension with Vegas either, but it didn't take them long...

The trade is 1 for 1.

Andersson for Eichel.

For the love of god, what does Vegas even have? A 2036 first round pick?
