Convince VGK to take Dustin Brown's contract?!?!? Why would the VGK want this contract. It is beyond awful. Brown is owed $5,875,000 x 5 more years ($29.4M)

What does Vegas buy from the Kings for $29.4M?

Seems like every post involving bad contracts is "convince Vegas to take it". They aren't going to take 12-15 bad contracts lol.

I would pay Vegas the Flames 1st and Brouwer for Vegas' 2nd. I would accept as low as Vegas' 3rd. I do not know if that would be enough to actually convince Vegas to take that contract.

Well it took Teravainen for the Hurricanes to take on Bickell's 4M contract without taking money back...and that was just for one year. It would have to be a very good deal, potentially for a player that Vegas absolutely loves for them to do that. I wouldn't expect many teams to be willing to do what it would take either unless they have cap space issues. Money for money swaps are more likely, like Pronger for Gagner, Clarkson for Horton, etc.
