I’m sure there’s a lot of them salivating over the idea I think Vegas has no friends in the GM world. McPhee taking the GM award pissed a lot of GM's off. The entitled antics of the team, the abilty to sign players with the no state tax. Vegas will get this cap compliant, but it's gonna cost them. I doubt MAF goes anywhere which is great as they can have that fester in the room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No buyouts, no trades , lost almost all his free agents to good value contracts......I'm not optimistic at all after seeing the Toffoli deal personally. All those guys leaving for good deals says something is definitely not right here. I wouldn’t even try to replace Toffoli. I think the forward group is fine. Id be cool with a guy like Granlund sort term otherwise Leaves a bit of room for a guy like Lind if he can crack the line-up. We only really brought Toff in because we thought Boeser was done for the year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 One of the best defensemen in the league. Vegas is a strong team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to shift Gaudette to the wing. I think he could be successful there. Let’s not forgot his trajectory is a late bloomer. 5th round draft pick. Already a .5 ppg player in his second year Edited October 12, 2020 by Devron44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyotasfan Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Is Benning just making sure there is nothing of value to take from the Canucks Unprotected list when it comes to the Seattle expansion draft ? That’s planning ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those guys leaving for good deals says something is definitely not right here. Maybe he’s just letting cap shed without taking anything on to negate that. TT is wasn’t that impressive this playoffs and his ten game sample size - I’ve seen guys line Dixon Ward do that before. No loss there. Not to mention we couldn’t afford all three last season if the team was healthy....patience is a virtue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary, Edmonton and Vegas all improved while we have some gargantuan holes in our lineup at the moment. Vegas is as much a threat as last year, Edmonton has a horrendous bottom 6, defence and goaltending. Couldn't even beat Chicago in the play in. Calgary added 2 good pieces lost 3 and a half (Talbot is streaky) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 For those who appreciate such things, here’s Dom Luszczyszyn’s chart for the Pietrangelo contract: Shows a very small net loss over the life of the deal (600k/yr too rich). However, it does appear that Dom has prepared this chart using GSVA and not GSVA/82 (in which, due to the shortened season, Pietrangelo’s 2019-20 would rise to something equivalent to 3.3, instead of 2.5, and his curve would start higher and probably show a net positive over the life of the deal). Also worth remembering that 2023 is the year the new USA TV contract comes onto the books. Right when Pietrangelo is predicted to fall from “elite” to “number one” status. Overall, I do expect this contract will be a net positive deal, barring any serious injuries. Pietrangelo should be good for 3-4 years of “elite” play, and then solid first pairing for most of the remainder, maybe falling to top four in the final year or two (by which time the cap should be a lot higher). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Another big contract and you have to think the cap isn’t going up next year. Damn he would have changed our team, though. Hope JB sticks to the mid-long game here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
