Thread: Vegas revamp
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Two future 2nds won't get you a current 1st, why overpay for Laughton anyways? Don't think he's much different than Roy.

Better to keep LT, since it would allow them more flexibility. Pietrangelo + LT + Roy probably won't be what the Leafs are looking for Marner especially with retention. Pietrangelo is just too old. I think Theodore + would make more sense, but the Leafs aren't retaining on Marner without getting a haul. Maybe something like Theodore + Karlsson for Marner + Liljegren + a 5th.</div></div>

I can see Leafs wanting Piet more than Theo, mainly because of him being right handed. Vegas gets out of the possible crap years of that deal. I'll be honest, I thought of Karlsson instead of Roy, but I feel like losing Stephenson and Marchesault already would make Vegas hesitate to lose another original Golden Knight.

I think if you tweak it to maybe Pietrangelo, Karlsson, prospect for Marner (no retention) + Liljegren+ low pick or Petruzelli, then maybe that works out.
I'd still like for the Leafs to somehow find a way to grab Thompson too in that deal. Even if it means adding their 1st for like a 4th in return or something.
