Finally, a reasonable deal for MAF. As a Wings fan, I'd be good with that deal.

Well, I’m a Wings fan too so I’m sure Vegas fans will rip it apart...

F*** the Golden Knights. I wish them 0 success. 3 year old team with a entitled fanbase like almost no other.

The NHL does everything it can do to facilitate their job

Almost nothing was as satisfying as seeing them blow a 3-0 lead against SJ.

So, related to your title, «Vegas does what Vegas does»... well that would be throwing everything they have at overrated players... Patches and now Stamkos

I HATE how the NHL does everything to help them (bEcAuSe It'S vEgAs) while doing nothing to solve small market issues

And their fans, oh my, they already feel entitled to the SC after only 3 years in the league

That’s rich coming from a Rags fan. NHL just gifted you Kakko and Laf back to back. Seems like every notable NCAA FA too.

The Expansion draft was a huge benefit to them, I’ll give you that, but since then, what has the league done to help them out?
Secondly, what can be done to help Out these small market teams? There’s already a salary cap and RFA protection...
BTW, I’m a Det fan, not Vegas, we got totally screwed by the lotto this year and Det is one of the biggest markets in Hockey.

We were 6th last in 18-19, not that far off from 2OA

True but they also didn’t get any of the $650 million buy in by Seattle. This is a business still and that’s a big deal.

Right I guarantee you most owners with the current state of the world would gladly take that money over a non protected player

The current lottery system is a joke. I much prefer the one where you can only move up 3 spots.

I also don’t see a ton of entitled VGK fans saying they deserve the SC nor do I think you need to have 30 years of misery to enjoy it. Most avid VGK fans followed hockey for years before the team was announced. At my office alone (~60 people) we have Sabre, Duck, Sharks, Kings, Panthers, Wild, Red Wings, Canuck, Leafs, Pitt, and AVs fans. I’ve lived in Vegas for almost 20 years so I’ve met quite a range of fans and from all over since Vegas has grown rapidly and we have military bases. I’d also wager in the most recent 3 years no other team has had to deal with the troubles Vegas has with mass shootings, economy (heavily dependent on travel), and BS on ice calls costing a series.

Rutherford has already said he made the Matheson trade to sure up the left side of the defense. No reason to add another expensive older LD. Pens would pass.

Fair enough, maybe TOR then, there should be plenty of suitors for Alex

I don't give a damn about finances the fact is that their situation on the ice is much easier to manage than any other team in the league, just because the NHL is in love with Vegas for no reason

Did you see how VGK fans behaved during these playoffs, jesus were they awful. And it wasn't just one or two of them, it was a big chunk of the fanbase
