[QUOTE="IlliniJim20, post: 1319259, member: 10516"] They definitely could not have protected both. I am getting the impression they want to shed Kruger's salary, despite what I perceive as good talent at face offs and defense. However, he is a 4th line played at $3 m + so I get it. I guess I wasn't clear, I apologize. As I read it, they have gotten Vegas to take Kruger in a trade, in exchange for the Blackhawks NOT trading TVR prior to draft. Hawks could have gotten SOME value for TVR in a trade, going with the assumption he would be taken by Vegas anyway for nothing. Having Rozivol available fulfills the requirement of having a defenseman available to Vegas in the draft. No guarantee Vegas takes Kruger in this situation, leaving him on Hawks books. Does that make more sense of why they seem to want to trade Kruger and not TVR (earlier) ? [/QUOTE]
