Apparently Nill was offered a 1st+ at the deadline for Oleksiak, now he’s gone to Seattle


Now without the elite dman in Heiskanen, Oleksiak will get badly exposed.

Fun fact: There are only 6 players that Vegas selected that are still on the team (side deals do not count)

William Carrier
William Karlsson
Tomas Nosek
Jonathan Marchessault
Brayden McNabb
Marc-Andre Fleury


Karlsson came with a side deal

So did Marchessault but I’m fairly sure Karlsson and Marchessault were the official selections

Oh 100%, but I'm skeptical that it will, it comes off as a horrible name that screams of virtue signaling

Apparently Amazon's the sponsor, but instead of naming it Amazon Arena, decided to name it Climate Pledge Arena because it runs on renewable energy. At least in this regard they're walking the walk and talking the talk.

Downgrade his and MAF's performances in 17-18 and honestly Vegas probably misses the playoffs

That's what I meant. I counted them if they were the official selections. Karlsson was selected and the Blue Jackets gave picks to ensure it.

BTW, isn't there usually a sponsor for these names? Unaware of an organization called "Climate Pledge"


Amazon

But it won’t, it’ll just cause division in a place that is supposed to cause unity. Some crazy Americans might not even buy tickets to Kraken games because they don’t like the arena title

$4.6 million by 5 years for Oleksiak. @Esoyeezus69 you called it. He got Alzner’s contract. Terrible for the Kraken.

To add on to this point, politics as a whole shouldn’t be anywhere near sports. Some things that aren’t inherently political in themselves (BLM, stuff like that) but that spark controversy and have become associated to politics should probably be kept far away from sports as well. The world is so divided as it is and the only time we see any form of unity are in sports and music so bringing politics into either of those things largely destroys the point of them

I mean he's a reliable number 4 but that's definitely too much.

Random Related Question: Who has the best arena in the league? I'd probably go Nashville or Winnipeg (taking atmosphere into account), though I'd love to think Tampa

The only reason he’s a number 4 is because of Heiskanen. Remove him he was worth a 4th round pick.
