Best case scenario

Created by: nhn1405
Team: 2021-22 Vegas Golden Knights
Initial Creation Date: Jan. 11, 2020
Published: Jan. 11, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Fourth line is not a true fourth line- it's a super sheltered line. The top 9 is a matchup monster. Stephenson and roy can step in if needed for a little bit of a more standard bottom 6, or if any of the rookies dont perform

Pietrangelo is a pipe dream- any top four rhd available in FA works there. They have cap space

They should not trade up in what is projected to be a very deep draft to take a goaltender. I don't think ANY team should ever draft a goalie top 15 in a good draft. It's just not a good strategy.

Years of development...then after 2 seasons they're asking for 5-7 mil if they're top 10, followed by asking for 8-10 million to get them locked up well into their UFA years. Then some AHL guy named Binnington gets red hot and wins the Cup out from under you.

Dmen are coming into the league playing great hockey at 20 or younger. Forwards are now more complete out of junior. Goalies still take a lot of time, and at the end of the day it's usually not worth justifying a very high draft position. They also don't have a ton of value as a tradeable asset. I doubt an Askarov would get you a Mark Stone.


Vegas needs an elite forward or D.

Too much money for AHL RFAs Coghlan and Roy. Coghlan hasn't played an NHL game yet and he doesn't need waivers next year so I doubt he could ask for more than 850k 2 way, and Roy shouldn't get more than 900k on a team that wants to contend.

They can probably lock up Whitecloud 3 years at 750k which would be a great bargain if the makes the NHL next year.
