I'm excited for this team, they can't be any worse than Columbus.

their first year team was led in scoring by Geoffrey Sanderson, Espen Knutsen, and Steve Heinze. I think Vegas will do better than that. I really hope.

e: so Dustin Brown looks like the best Heinze equivalent, Rick Nash is definitely the Geoff Sanderson tier sniper, and Espen Knutsen has to be Tyler Bozak. I take the BJs for sure

mark recchi bought a 0.1% share of the vegas team but had to relinquish his tiny ownership because he's still on the penguins payroll. what a silly boy

Icing a team of KHL players + good prospects actually doesn't seem like that bad of an idea. Get Radulov to sign with you, see if you can get New Jersey to do the Kovalchuk sign and trade or whatever. Maybe take a chance on some other KHLers that never really got a chance their first try at the NHL (Khoklachev with Boston comes to mind).

more KHLers to come

getting guys who already play well together is a good idea and it will help give them the illusion of having multiple decent lines by being able to use them as a pair and settle your draft players elsewhere. if they actually do target Kovy or Radulov, they look fun as hell already

man I wish the Devils were doing poo poo like this, they have plenty of TOI to hand out


Assuming that report was true, Kovalchuk is going to New York or Florida.

people were shouting that guy on twitter down as a bad source within minutes of the NY/FLA rumor coming up

I assume they'd trade him before exposing him. Still dumb, but not the dumbest possible option.

trading Marchy would be good but it seems like he would get some more value after the expansion draft if you just kept him. I would think Marchy has a lot more value to a team who just lost a good piece to the draft instead of a team who is still nailing down their protections

I am not really a fan of protecting 4D in any circumstance - forward-wise, you'll likely see Hubes/Barkov/Smith/Trocheck as the 4 protected. Yandle has to be protected and Ekblad will be for sure, the team is huge on Pysyk and it sounds like he is #3. they don't really seem to value Jason Demers because all of the writers close to the team have been saying everything is leaning towards protecting Petrovic over Demers. losing the ability to protect all of Bjugstad + Marchesseault + ______ (ideally Jokinen, realistically Sceviour?, and in the dark world, Cap'n Mac) in order to guarantee the presence of Alex Petrovic sounds kind of ridiculous. and I think Petro is pretty cool, and works out nicely as a 2nd pair guy

I fully expect Anaheim to make a deal so LV doesn't take him, but why expose Vatanen over Fowler?

they really love fowler. he is quick and jumps up in the play but still capable of being physical and those are all very easy things to awe at from the eye test
