lol. How are the Blues going to sign him? I'm sure somebody is going to take Bozak and Steen no problem...He is using Vegas as a negotiating tactic. I really believe that. Just sign him Blues. Enough is enough.

He probably wants a Karlsson or Doughty contract.This line from Mirtle really stood out:
“Alex won’t be signing anywhere at a discount,” one source close to the player told The Athletic on Friday evening.
I think Alex needs to come to terms with the fact that the market has changed. He's coming off as being really entitled - expecting (or even demanding) to get the red carpet treatment that other top level UFAs got and refusing to accept the fact that things have changed.
Max Pac should be that guy though shouldn't he? the way hes being paid he should be the main trigger man for Vegas.Pietrangelo doesn't even address any of Vegas' weaknesses.
The team doesn't have any finishers. They score a lot as a team because they are so puck-dominant. But they don't have the type of pure goal-scoring talent that you need to beat a hot goaltender in the Playoffs.
They should have focussed on giving Taylor Hall a contract. Surely he would have rather played for $8 million on a 1 year deal with Vegas, rather than Buffalo.

That really burns you up, doesn’t it? That inconsiderate piece of shit, making you wait.This line from Mirtle really stood out:

I mean if we could've fit Krug and Petro, why not do Petro and Hall?He is using Vegas as a negotiating tactic. I really believe that. Just sign him Blues. Enough is enough.
Pacioretty isn't the guy you want as your #1 scorer in the Playoffs. He would be better in a complementary role.Max Pac should be that guy though shouldn't he? the way hes being paid he should be the main trigger man for Vegas.

Pietrangelo doesn't really do anything substantial that gets them past Dallas.This is where I get confused. Pietrangelo is obviously an attractive target and mutual interest gets both sides hot and bothered, but Pietrangelo isn’t such a massive upgrade over Schmidt and the overall defense (and team defense) that it really changes Vegas’ odds for me. They’d be and would have been much better off targeting a strong offensive play driver.
Totally forgot about the red carpet treatment given to the likes of Tavares and Stamkos.... definitely has to sting if your Pietrangelo....just wrong place at the wrong time. There seems to be hardly any coverage of him even. Or maybe it is just because the Leafs are finally not in this one for once.This line from Mirtle really stood out:

Sweeney does not know how to close a deal. Neely is a figure that just throws water bottles. Ownership cap or no cap is going penny pinch, jut like the old days before the cap when they were in the forefront leading the way to instituting the cap..............I would bet money they will stay as low as possible below the cap this season. No fans ,no hot dogs ,beer etc etc etc revenues.....Bottom line this ownership sucks ,if it was not for Tim Thomas standing on his head this ownership would be completely shutout in the " Lord Stanley ". They also own the shameless distinction of trading the greatest hockey player of all time..........Why is Boston not outbidding these guys? Their cap situation is clear after this season.
Cheveldayoff is a clown.

That's interesting because the only reason Vegas is a competitive team to begin with is their team chemistry. Outside of Max and Mark, they don't really have bonafide stars. Would be interesting to see how Petro's presence affects that.Strickland: Nate Schmidt will be traded to Florida
Also Strickland (1 day later): Vegas players are getting angry that their names are out there, and how they've handled things.
