Thread: Pacioretty and Pietrangelo skating again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vegasloveforthebills</b></div><div>I thought about Holden but I think they are worried about losing him now for nothing

I thought Nosek could get traded because he’s a pending UFA, but probably not now

I think Vegas has Martinez at 2.5 or less and if he wants more than that they will just let him walk. I could see a situation though similar to Holden last year, where are they say to him on trade deadline week here is a contract, sign it or we may trade you because we need cap space. Kinda forcing his hand.</div></div>

Given the role that Holden has now been asked to fill, he's been excellent. He's not going to win you games, but he's not going to cost you games. Having that security is huge especially as injuries start to pile up.

I wondered about Nosek too, but depth right now is so important...he's staying. (but in the off season he's probably elsewhere as guys like Krebs and Dugan etc will all be knocking at the door)

I have to believe K-Mac has already chatted with Marty's agent. And if that's true, the fact that he's still not been extended tells me that either 1) the dollars are too far apart or 2) he wants to go home to Detroit and finish off his career there (and possibly make more money likely too). Losing Marty would be a huge blow in my opinion.

Thread: New Take
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vegasloveforthebills</b></div><div>I actually get it. I actually wouldn’t be shocked if they bought a little too.

SJ is 11-13-4 but 5 of those regulation losses are to VGK. They are actually pretty decent against the 6 other teams at 11-8-4

ST Louis in their last 20 games, starting 4/2, play Vegas/Col/Minny 17 times combined. They could have a rough final 6 weeks.</div></div>

The win/loss record suggests at the least an okay team and I agree we aren't horrible, but that stat line doesn't tell the full story. SJ has gotten somewhat lucky in those games that went to a shootout or they ended up winning. Like the Blues game last night, the score should have been like 4-1 STL at the end of the game but Jones was a brick wall back there. Sharks are undoubtedly way worse than MIN, STL, COL and VGK when those teams are mostly healthy. I'd say we're on par with ARI and LAK, ANA being the only team we're for sure better than. Even if we're better than the latter 3 I mentioned, the Sharks aren't making it into the playoffs (even if the Blues stink the last half of the year), so I don't think there's any reason to buy unless a totally irresistible offer comes up.
