I wonder if they have to wait for a response from up top everytime and other GMs are more "now or we will call the next guy". Its not a major loss regardless, got more out of this deadline than expectedI'm happy with the deadline as a whole but I am still quite annoyed that we never got in as third party brokers on any deadline deals. Feels like a missed opportunity.
But thats just me nitpicking. Overall a good day. Two picks for guys we had no interest in keeping long term. Freed up future space.
Best of luck to Peeker
And for Rosie...I hope he has good individual stats and a quick exit
Keep your eyes on the target. The Devils are not your enemy.Meanwhile my niece here is talking about how she's a Devils fan because she thinks Jack Hughes and Hischier (and another blueliner they drafted in 2020) are hot. This is interfering with my attempts to plot nuking Vegas.
the irony is that she prefers women
I haven't seen any deals today that required or used a 3rd party that i can recall. I'm surprised by that. I thought it would be a pretty common to get something done.I'm happy with the deadline as a whole but I am still quite annoyed that we never got in as third party brokers on any deadline deals.

Hertl is LTIR also with knee surgery. With retention Hanifin and Mantha cost like 4mil combinedCan someone explain to me how Vegas is able to afford all the stuff they've gotten this deadline? There's no possible way Mark Stone's LTIR savings alone is able to allow Hertl, Hanifin and Mantha on the team.
He supposedly will be ready before the end of the season but Vegas is still stashing 5 million for Robin Lehner so between he and Stone, that is 14.5 million on LTIR.Hertl is LTIR also with knee surgery
Probably just because San Jose didnt need the space.He supposedly will be ready before the end of the season but Vegas is still stashing 5 million for Robin Lehner so between he and Stone, that is 14.5 million on LTIR.
Cap friendly also shows Hertl on regular IT and not LTIR. They have not updated for the trade yet but I suppose its possible Vegas flips him to LTIR depending on his return date.
Annoyance level increased
I've thought about that too, but what's his cap hit going to be? 6 million or something at the least? Might be difficult to squeeze him in with all the RFA deals coming this summer. I've wondered if they should go after Sean Monahan in the off-season.So. Given that Hertl's now a Knight, and given Vegas's usual approach to "player loyalty"... who else wants to go after Chandler Stephenson in free agency?
Okay wow. Interesting move by NJ. Kahkonen can be good at times but his body of work is not that great. I suppose they ran out of other deadline options and this is their hail mary for a run this season. Sort of makes sense as they apparently weren't high on Vanecek anymore. For SJ not sure it makes sense but I guess they didn't have many offers.
Vegas probably walks away from a couple guys. Id be fearful Stephenson is a player someone regrets signing for too muchSo. Given that Hertl's now a Knight, and given Vegas's usual approach to "player loyalty"... who else wants to go after Chandler Stephenson in free agency?
San Jose traded away the 3rds haha. They got Edstrom and a 1stThe Sharks have five pending UFA forwards and instead chose to move Tomas Hertl for Edstrom, what's likely to be a late 2025 1st, and two 3rds.
They offloaded Toffoli. I don't think they think they're making it this year.

Boone should get to go to a winner. He deserves it.
