Vegas completes a trade with Montreal

[ALL4U2NV]

Vegas has decided to reshuffle portions of our rosters we're not completely happy with. That said, we announce a trade with Montreal to acquire a package that addresses our lack of depth on the blueline.


Traded to Mordecai's MTL Canadiens
Nick Bjugstad, $2.5m (2017-2020)
Carter Rowney, $0.7m (2018-2020)


Shipped to Vegas Golden Knights
Sami Vatanen, $2.5m (2017-2020)
Fredrik Claesson, $0.9m (2017-2019)

[Mordecai]

Habs confirm this deal. Looking to further the cause and go deeper in the postseason and felt  we are getting good value for our players without sacrificing age or production. By dealing Vatanen and Claesson we hope some prospects on our farmer team can step up and fill the void. Thanks for the pro trade talks, ALL4!

The owner in Montreal is clearly executing his plan. It's a good trade for both sides filling needs at specific positions.

NHL's Panthers just traded Nick to the Pens. I swear Mordecai is an NHL exec in disguise. Vatanen is only 27 and Bjugstad is 26. I'd say a scoring D is tougher to get than a scoring C.

This trade seems fair for both teams. I agree with PPG's assessment, Defence is a scarcer commodity than Centers and will give the edge to Vegas.

Habs have been busy recently.
