Probably after Bargain-bin is fired. Do you really think he’d be entrusted to do the rebuild?
You're on a roll lately, Domain!!

Gerard Gallant doesn’t get the praise he deserves IMO. Early candidate for Jack Adams (as long as they keep getting stellar goaltending).
I'm going to preface this by saying I'm a big fan of Gallant and think he's a really underrated coach, but I don't see any way that can continue this way. They've had an pretty soft and favorable schedule to start with, including playing six of the first eight at home. They've also, in my opinion, gotten some pretty favorable officiating. Plus, I think they whole team has been playing with the buzz that comes from being in a new city. But the biggest reason by far is they've gotten some unsustainable goaltending. We all know what Fleury can do, but I find it very hard to believe Subban and Dansk could keep up this level of play over an entire season, particularly Dansk. From the games I've seen, they've been getting owned in terms of 0ffensive chances and that will always catch up with a team sooner or later.
The Knights are obviously the most talented expansion team the league has seen but I just don't see this team making the playoffs. Looking at that lineup top to bottom, they'll get exposed eventually. The top six is adequate, but that bottom six is garbage. And their defense is medicore at best.
According to the link, he is under contract to Ak Bars Kazan this season and next, so this is really a question better asked in the summer of 2019.Russian friends how does Vladimir Tkachyov played in KHL and does he have any interest to come NHL and does he really have ability to play top6 role in NHL or bottom tier forward?

Awesome article about how crappy the Chicago D has been this year in the Athletic today. I'll pay good money to read about how much Chicago sucks.
Hawks are getting lit up by the Avs right now. 3-0 end of 1st
I feel bad for Eichel. He seems to be the only player on that team that truly cares and wants to win at times.
