I cant wait to draft Lambert at around 11 as SJ smile


Unless he goes to the WHL thats gonna be his one saving grace

He may even drop further down like Raty did lul.

Think he's gonna be the guy who's dropping this year. Currently Finnish hockey talk is projecting that he's not going to make it in the next WJC, much like what happened with Räty.

Yeah, if anything it gives these kids a better chance to succeed being on deeper teams. I mean Raty went from the projecting the likes of BUF/ ARI to a contender NYI. There's no rush or pressure. NYI will let him cook as long as he need.

Hopefully I can see Lambert in teal.

He should honestly speed up his plan to join the WHL and be with the Raiders (That was team he was apparently joining). Dont know when though guessing early Nov/Dec. Probs should hurry though as his stock be dropping fast.

No, Stone and Eichel are on LTIR now so Vegas has a lot of cap space

At least in Finnish media those rumors/talks have silent down, so at the moment it's looking unlikely that it'll happen.

Now he and Vejmelka can suffer together in the desert.

Kinda hoping an Eric Comrie situation happens when Hutton comes back though, as teams recreating the Comrie hot potato would be quite funny,

holy sh*t they look so much younger in that. I'll have to tune into NBC4 to see it myself, but I'm surprised the station even cares, since the station was only talking about the Virginia election the last few days.

Don’t know if this has been mentioned on the thread before, but if Buffalo gets Tuch/Mittlestadt/Jokiharju back they’ll be $1.9 million below the salary floor.


Whoa, didn't think of that... Sign a FA to 3.5 and bury him in the AHL?

You could do that, although they’d probably be better off taking on a bad expiring deal or retain some salary in another team’s trade to try and get something back.

I wish I could get that but I’m in New York. I get so excited when I see that channel in a hotel room when I’m in Maryland. But when I’m watching the game on ESPN plus I get to see Chevy sport commercials which my dad housed to work at which is cool

Yes, but I'm just thinking if you can't get it done today as to not take a penalty. (Surprised you can make a trade that puts you below the cap floor😐) all this is pointing to the need for Vegas to give is Reilly Smith...lol

To be fair they've peaked the value they could've of those picks almost perfectly. No need to develop assets if they can be traded to already established products lol. Can't blame their development team of producing a pile of busts like for instance BUF and EDM has done in 2010s.
