Vegas is a fun team. Off to a good start in the NHL... no WAIT... let's get Pacioretty... no WAIT... Mark Stone. No WAIT... Martinez. And LEHNER!!! Let's get rid of Gallant. Now all together PIETRANGELO!!! It's not exactly boring there, anyway.
I mean, I'd maybe just waive a couple of grinders like Holden and Nosek and call up cheap fill-ins before I gave away a top player. But that wouldn't be much fun, I guess.
Vegas has been fun to watch.
They got Tatar from the Wings for a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
They got Patches by trading Tomas Tatar, Nick Suzuki, and a 2nd.
Now there's rumbles about trading Patches.
I know Tatar didn't mesh well with them for whatever reason but Tatar has performed better in Montreal then Patches has in Vegas. Then there is Suzuki who got 13G 28A in 71games his rookie year in Montreal.
They went out and bet big on Pietrangelo and put themselves in a huge cap bind and had to trade Schmidt for pennies.
They locked up Lehner for 5M x 5Y and now have 12M tied up in goalies with no real outlet for Flower who is coming off a bad season and has a 10 team no trade list. But who's going to trade for a 7M x 2Y goalie with a .905 sv% when the cap is dead?
