They've played outdoor games in Vegas and LA. It'll be fine

The Vegas outdoor game was a farce. Ice kept melting and they ended up delaying the game by four hours or so

Is Byfield actually a bust? It seems too soon to call him that since he's still only 20. Maybe he was rushed into the NHL too soon?

Yeah, the last time I heard his name he was a top prospect who was going to be something good

Golden Knights are bad without Mark Stone.

Which is a shame because his back is hosed.

Again? Brutal. Vegas has been struggling too.

They've been struggling because he's out. Can't really overstate how important he is to them.

Honestly it almost feels like they should be doing a teardown even with the point cushion they have. It would suck to trade the misfits, but McNabb and Martinez might have value as rentals, and they could rent out the Ltir space from Stone

Krebs hasn’t looked like anything special yet, but Alex Tuch is the same age as Eichel and has been incredible in Buffalo. Noah Ostlund who they grabbed with Vegas’ 1st is also having a great d+1 season.

I was about to post that trading a huge package for a marquee player usually ends up badly, then I remembered the Tkachuk trade last summer lol

Honestly the big issue with Eichel isn't giving up the players, it's that $10m per contract that they can't really afford. Though I am sad to lose Tuch

Vegas being in on Meier is wild, they’ve traded any young players or prospects worth a drat acquiring Patches/Stone/Eichel. 23rd ranked prospect pool so you would think the Devils would have the edge here, but Stone being on LTIR means they could trade him without giving the Sharks a big contract in return. Long-term I can’t see them keeping him though

I assume them keeping him involves dumping Lehner on someone. I have no goddamn idea what they can offer for him

I'd say I wonder who, but there's no one in the system worth getting too worked up about.

Barbashev feels exactly what Vegas needs as well, displacing Kessel or Amadio from meaningful minutes

The Athletic had him as one of their top five prospects alongside those four. Projects as a middle bottom six guy, but seems to have a high floor

Sure, they let Tampa win a cup doing it, but if anyone else tries it there’ll be hell to pay!

I assume this puts the Knights off acquiring anyone else, since they're clearly trying to Kucherov Stone

Are the Kings even vaguely contenders though? I do feel like chucking away a guy's chance to retire into the sunset for Jonas Korpisalo and a first tound exit is a bit of a dick move.
