Las Vegas Golden Nights Line Predictions

[LeafChief]

Yes Im aware they will sign free agents and make more trades, but for now....


Marchessault-Shipachev-Neal
Perron-Eakin-Smith
Karlsson-Haula-Lindberg
Leipsic-Bellemare-Carrier

Methot-Sbisa
Garrison-McNabb
Schmidt/Theodore-Emelin

Fleury-Pickard

I will say this. If Schmidt/Theodore/Miller are on the team opening night, they will all be in the top 6.

 

[Halla]

It's not the worst team ever but you have overhyped every player on the roster and there is no way in hell this team can be a top 3 team in the division no matter who else the are able to add to that team.

fun to look back on some of these now, with vegas as the cup favorites

 

[GlitchMarner]

Worst team ever?

This team sucks so bad lol.

Prophetic.

 

[McJazz]

Everyone who claims that the system was rigged in their favor and that it was impossible for them not to be successful should go back and read this thread.. No one believed in them before the season, so stop finding excuses for their success.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Prophetic.

How was i supposed to know they were going to trade Methot and send ship back to the khl?

Had i known that at the time my opinion would have been totally different.....

 

[Dr Pepper]

Hell, the pick they got for Methot may end up doing better for them than Methot's been with Dallas so far.

What a ride it's been for Vegas. Don't think I've seen a misstep yet. Maybe Shipachyev, but if he wants to run back home to Russia that's his call. I'm sure he's happier over there, so it all works out for the best.

 

[Mortivore]

Well, at least one guy had them top 3 pacific. Love these old thread revives.

Not even close.

- Fleury is a top 10 goalie.
- Methot is shutdown 2/3D
- Thedore is a top 4 guy who could be pushing for top 3 status by end of the year
- Schlemko - Miller are a decent middle pair
- Schmidt - Engelland is a high end third pair
- that 4th line is probably one of the better ones in the league
- Haula is an ideal 3C
- Marchassault has the skill, shot, and IQ to hit 15-25 yearly, and he's on the third line
- Smith is an ideal second line wing
- Eakin is a high end 3C, and could hold his own at 2C short term
- The first line is a low end first line, but still a legit first line

If you gave them a 1D and a LW better than Perron to bump him down to the second line, then I would call them a top 3 finisher in the Pacific

This post is amazing.

Burn the witch.

This has to be one of the worst posts of all time. I find it hard to agree with anything you've said.

Speaking of 'worst posts of all time'...

 

[Kiraly]

Well deserved bump.

They paid an awfully steep price to acquire Tatar and put him in their press box.

Ah, yeah forgot about that. Well, GMGM deserves a mulligan or two I think.

I know we don't know each other or anything, but do you think I could get hooked up with tonight's Powerball numbers? For science...

Out of all the past Vegas threads you were probably the closest to predicting their success.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

How there current line up even made it to the Stanley cup final and some of the players production in the regular season is mind boggling. True Cinderella story.

 

[rent free]

always great to see vegas threads being bumped

Definite witch, look at the reply calling the post "one of the worst posts of all time."

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Do not under any circumstances bump threads for the purpose of making fun of old posts.

Those who participated in this event will hear from me.
