Here’s the question: Who’s leaving this summer for Future Considerations?

IF they win the cup who cares

But loading up at the deadline does not equal a cup

They have a lot of UFAs, so some of them will just not re-sign with Vegas.

If they don't start playing better they might not even make it to the dance. Does anyone know when Hertl is expected back?

I understand the feeling, but you're getting way ahead of yourself here. Just for starters, two of those players in your team there are currently out with fairly serious injury recoveries, and there's no assurance they'll be back or fully fit for the playoffs.

Or if the team even makes the playoffs

Yeah, good point. Though I think they'll be well clear of the line by then. All the teams between 3 and 11 besides Vegas and the Blues are killing it right now. That stuff won;t last. Nashville is 9-1 or whatever, soon enough they'll do the opposite. They've done it like three times already this season. Calgary won't keep winning. Seattle won't go 7-2-1 every 10. And Vegas will pull their socks up and remember to play hockey soon enough. Lots of new friends in town to take ice time away, they'll wake up.

They've got a better chance of qualifying than another team beating them out. But like nearly every fan outside of Vegas I would love to see them miss again.

That indeed would be something. I wonder what odds Vegas is giving on that...
