The way Halak has been playing and his salary, sending him to Vegas helps us out immensely. Halak for a 5th rounder would be just swell, Welcome Spencer Martin!

timberz21 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) That team is on the decline, roster getting older and injured often. IMO they went all-in too fast. McPhee surely crushed Francis as the expansion draft goes, however, McCrimmon is undoing all of that. in the long-run Seattle might have more sustainability. Still a good team, but I think Vegas' windows is now completely shut. Edited March 17, 2022 by timberz21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried to go after every big name they could and now their depth is going to be gutted because of it. All they needed to do was identify the core and then rotate rentals in and out every season around those players kind of like Pittsburgh did all those years. Theres also something to be said about chemistry. Bringing in someone like Eichel who clearly has a big ego was a risk. That room already had enough egos. Might have pushed the balance over the top. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not hockey fans, but fans of entertainment. The Knights will soon be like the Coyotes. I could see Betman helping them sign Matthews in a couple years when he's a UFA though. In hopes to keep that franchise alive. Big stars get big attention in Vegas. Edited March 17, 2022 by Alflives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptKirk888 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Vegas’ core, other than Shae, is old. A lot have had down years stat wise or have missed a lot of games to injury. Losing Lehner will probably kill their season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already know Fleury fits in well with that group, seems like an obvious move to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, they're just as it in as us or Edmonton and if Vegas has shown anything over their history it's a willingness to make moves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on. They basically tried to change their mould from a successful Pittsburgh/Bruins mould to a Toronto top-heavy one and now 1 injury to a key player is costing them the season. They've played worse with Eichel too which is interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
