Speculation: Alex Pietrangelo Megathread: contract talks with the Blues have stalled.

[Oscar Lindberg]

He’s obviously going to sign the papers. Your not flying there to chat. Glad this is over.

Yeah you're not flying to Vegas in a pandemic to have a chat with them and see if it's a fit

He's signing there

 

[Super Cake]

$$$ talks. Vegas wouldn't be my first choice as a family man to raise kids though.. Yikes.

Vegas is more than the strip ffs.

Pacioretty has f***ing 5 kids. I am sure he is doing fine living in Vegas.

well he may be on his way out the door now

 

[Super Cake]

If he is traded, it is only to make cap room.

 

[JT Kreider]

Okay so where do they magically find a 1C? I could see your point if it were an option but it's not. They're trying to do what they can to better the roster in light of that.

You cant open a window of Cup contention without an elite/franchise center. They probably should not have traded two top 5 prospects without getting that center in return.

I really fear Vegas is just going to waste all this time and assets otherwise. It nearly happened to the Blues until ROR fell into their lap and overnight transformed them from a perennial playoff underachiever into a Stanley Cup champion.

It is exactly what happened to the Rangers in 2012-15 and cost them a Cup.

How does Vegas make the move without hurting depth if nobody takes MAF?

Nobody is taking Maf they will need to clear space another way.

Schmidt and Martinez.

Vegas isn't only gambling and alcohol of course.

Schmidt and Martinez.

I mean I feel like that would effect their depth. I wasn't saying they couldn't move players to make it work. Poster said they were in a position to move players and not effect the depth of the team. I don't see it.

Armia
Poehling

for

Tuch
Roy

1) how does moving Roy help with cap
2)they're not moving Tuch
3) f*** you Bergevin for drafting his brother and encouraging 100000000000000000000000000 proposals

 

[Avsboy]

Both Pagnotta and Dreger claim Colorado has interest too. Maybe not as sexy as Vegas but probably offering more money.

He's signing there

Sure you are - the pandemic part doesn't really mean much. It's a private plane and it's not like he's going to a stadium of fans. It's just a meeting.

It doesn't mean he's signing there, but it certainly makes it more likely he will.

 

[Reality Czech]

Ah, the good old airport sighting. I missed those.

 

[CupInSIX]

well he may be on his way out the door now

He's meeting Pietrangelo to show him around?

I doubt it

He's been rumored to go there for a bit and if it's just a meeting they could do it virtually

He could also sign virtually too but going there just for a meeting seems a unnecessary

 

[Legion34]

The rumor was that max was being traded
On Tuesday. Who knows if that was true

I have been to Vegas a few times. There were mostly the strip and strip clubs. Definitely not a place to bring kids to.

That being said, its turning out to be a great hockey town and an organization of winners. I'm sure many NHLers would be glad to make it their home.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

That’s right, I dislike it when people down play strippers, crank, and bank owned properties

 

[Legion34]

He could also sign virtually too but going there just for a meeting seems a unnecessary

I mean he has been planning this for a month.

people don’t think he has already brought his family to Vegas?

There was no “catch up dinners” with friends in Vegas?

So you haven't been the Vegas then.

The strip =/ Vegas

 

[JLo217]

Time to start tracking flight aware

 

[Metroid]

I am hoping that whoever gives him a tour shows him that there is much more to Vegas than the strip.

Tired of all the bullshit stereotypes that Vegas gets.

Blame the vegas marketing department.
It is what it is. Deal with it.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

Hasn't Vegas very publicly been trying to clear cap for like a month now? How are they just magically going to make it happen
