Sure and agreed, BUT at a certain point they are going to have to keep a few prospects or picks around, no? Why in the world would they go hunting for Matt Dumba. With respect to him, Vegas’s MO isn’t to go small game hunting. When they hunt, they go on a safari.
Using your argument they should be Chychrun and Horvat.
I think Chychrun is disqualified because Vegas needs a RHD and he will be much more expensive than Dumba. Not to mention the post is inspired by Seravelli speculating VGK as a possible Dumba suitor.
They will probably go after Horvat too but I doubt they can beat other suitors, plus I like Tarasenko because of all the Russians in the VGK system. Also he has cup experience and a history with Pietrangelo.
To your point around prospects, Most of their core is signed for foreseeable future with only a few roster spots to fill in the next year or two. To that effect they have Dean, Dorofoyev, Miromanov, Cormier, Pachal and others that aren't well known but is favoured by the org (every team has these). Plus they can fill with cheap free agents.
