It seems like he's really into short term deals.
Probably not the worst idea really. We're seeing the benefit of having cap flexibility this offseason, and maintaining that flexibility could be really important the next couple of years given that teams with capspace are able to take advantage of teams who don't and add good players for next to nothing, like NJ getting Murray and Johnsson for a 5th and a 4th liner for example.

Not only is Vegas going to get Pietrangelo but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bit cheaper than expected too because of the tax situation.

What an utter joke Vegas is exempt from the expansion draft.
I agree, it's really stupid. Vegas will have had 4 years to build up a roster and prospect pool since 2017 which is more than enough time to have built a franchise that can withstand losing 1 player.

100%. It’s probably going to be 8-8.5 over 7 years, and Hall won’t get nearly as much either. We’ll wonder why Sakic didn’t push harder, but life goes on. We’ll keep talking about how “player x” needs a contract in 1-2 years...

Sakic appears to worry a lot about being able to keep his core long term. Even Bura got only 2 years.

I can't wait until Landy signs his new contract so at least we know what's up with that.

Dont let this distract you from remembering that Vegas got spanked by Dallas in 5 and scored 8 total goals

I wonder how much they blamed this on the defense not being able to generate offense outside of Theodore.

Let's not kid ourselves here....Petro will fit like a glove on that team.

We just need to send the farm to Boston for Carlo. Newhook ++ whatever it takes. He's solves all of our D problems.
