That's surprisingly reasonable. I wonder what this does to the UFA goalie market -- and UFAs in general?
That eats up all of Vegas' remaining cap space for next year, without a full roster. Who will they move to clear up space? Fleury? Can anyone afford his full $7 million? Stastny has one year left at $6.5 million.

They've got to be planning on moving Fleury, no? This shortened off-season is making things very interesting. There's no way a team would announce something like this in the middle of a playoff run, knowing the effect it will have on one of your other players.

Might take something significant attached to Fleury but I can't see him back with Vegas next year no matter what. The well has been poisoned in that relationship I think.
Stastny is overpaid but I think they really like him in the organization as a utility player. If Las Vegas loses to Dallas in this series because they can't buy a goal though, I'm not sure what they'd look to do with him. Los Angeles has the cap space and the positional need for a short term piece like that.

This is going to bring Markstrom's number down I'd imagine. Lehner is a recent vezina finalist.

Here's the original report:

Apparently agreed to in June, before the return to play.

This assumes that Markstrom will be negotiating with Vancouver. I suspect Lehner's number is one that was available only to VGK. Had he went to market I would bet he would get a bigger contract.

Wow. If that's the number for Lehner, I think that makes the UFA goaltenders more signable. Reasonable term and cap hit. If Markstrom hits the market, I'm sure the Flames will be all over that.

I am not sure why Markstrom wouldn't be negotiating with them?

There have constant rumours that he intends to go away.

There was a quote from Benning saying he had the right to go to market if the Canucks and Markstrom could not reach a deal. There was also a quote saying they were negotiating a deal and were apart still.

For a team that some here dismiss a getting gifted a good team they sure continue to make a lot of good personnel decisions year after year.

In the case of Lehner, I think after all his struggles and trials and tribulations he just wanted a home. He wanted a team that wanted him (term) and supported him so money wasn't really the biggest issue for him.

Great location, great team, low taxes.
That makes negotiating a little easier.

The Covid situation has completely reset the market. I'd be very surprised if Markstrom got more than $5 million unless it was a one-year deal.

Targeting Fleury might be a good way to get a good goalie AND recover some assets.
To VGK - Rittich
To CGY - Fleury + picks or drop the picks for retention

So the Knights have $11M to sign 4 forwards and 2 defensemen. It will be interesting to see if thy re-sign Stastny.
If so, they HAVE to move Fleury
