Perhaps the players should consider holding themselves accountable.

That’s the point. The players need to do their jobs, no matter the circumstance.
I know it's rude to wish such a thing, but if they're terrible five years from now and we're finally good.... the schadenfreude will be strong. (and i'll be honest, I still don't believe their future is as bright as their past, such as it is)
Max Pacioretty criticizes Golden Knights over lack of accountability
Max Pacioretty had a few things to say about the culture of accountability — or lack thereof — in Vegas.sports.yahoo.com
Sound familiar? At least up until the BA / Bear era of Coyotes hockey.

What's "happening in Vegas" shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
They were always going to come down from the fairy tale start they had as a franchise.

Vegas fans should be terrified. We know more than anyone that when that culture starts to seep in, it can lead you to becoming…the coyotes
VGK got themselves into a scary spot very quickly. Making the Stanley Cup Final in their first season may do more long term damage than good. Although they are beloved in the city and the talk of the town and it's probably great for the sport of hockey they did so well. But management has gutted a pretty decent prospect poop, and worst really wrecked the chemistry. The disservice they did to Fluery and now Patches won't quickly be forgotten either.
But they still have Jack Eichel and Mark Stone along with a very solid blue line. They have a couple years here to compete while potentially building up their prospect pool a touch of they do this right. To navigate this properly they will literally need to "know when to hold em' and know when to fold em'"
My gut says they will make a lot of noise this year, maybe even win the division if they can get half decent goaltending, but they need some internal reinforcements to let them sell some of their pricey top six wingers and bottom four defensemen. Otherwise a Sharks style situation is going to quickly develop. And if Vegas gets an NBA team they may quickly become the third most popular team in the area.

great Freudian slip there
Also the NFL and rumors the MLB are sniffing around. The honeymoon is about to get a bit bumpy.
That new Huberdeau deal is not going to age well. Starting at age 30 for 8 years at $10.5 million.

Based on deal structure I'm gonna assume Huberdeau is a US Citizen and plans to stay one while under contract.

Sounds like they need us to take Lucic for a low low cost of their 2023 2nd rounder
Keller - Boyd - Schmaltz
Ritchie - Hayton - Fischer
Bailey - Smith - Kassian
OBrien - McBain - Lucic
Hell yeah.

I think Treveling just put some white out over Matt Tkachuk’s name and scribbled in Jon Huberdeau.

Giving a 29yo forward an 8 year deal is - historically speaking - not a great idea. Calgary would be very lucky to get 4 par years out of that. The situation was totally avoidable too. Nobody forced them to trade for Huberdeau.

This is just a fan mock-up, but I think it’s incredible. Would be one of the best in the NHL in my opinion.
