Popular Post nfreeman Posted March 16, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 They’ve now lost 5 straight, and they just put Lehner on IR. Their next 5 are home vs FLA, home vs Kings, at Minny, at Winny and home vs Nashville. They could easily lose 4 of those. They’ve hitched their wagon to Eichel and Lehner. What could go wrong? 2 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 If VGK continues to fade (look at those D injuries and no goalie... and incapable of bringing back salary because then they have no space and all those modified trade clauses on aging vets)... those season-ending locker-cleaning interviews will allow someone to write quite the thesis on body language. Vancouver wins tonight, Edmonton wins tonight... This is where the fun begins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next Taylor Hall? What will Boston offer for him? Bergeron is an UFA after this season. Edited March 16, 2022 by GASabresIUFAN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he ultimately ends up in Boston, maybe at some point he figures out what an arrogant prick he's been and he fully blossoms, but I'm not holding my breath, haha.

K-9 Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Vegas slides the rest of the year, they select in the top 10 and our pick is deferred until 2023. Which is fine because the Eichel curse continues for them, they finish last in the league next year (a standing Eichel knows how to lead a team to), they win the lottery, we get their pick, and select the most explosive prospect since McDavid in Michkov. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimlach Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 There is a decent chance that Vegas misses the playoffs. I don’t see them winning in the playoffs even if they get there. Not sure about all the gloom and doom but they are in cap trouble for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Connor Bedard is spelled without M or V but it was a good guess. 7g, 11a in his last 10 games.

Carmel Corn Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 I've taken in some of their recent games. The quality scoring opportunities seem to be heavily weighted to the Eichel line, meaning if you can defend them well, then there is not a wealth of secondary scoring right now. Also, Max Pacioretty has been hurt and that along with Stone being out really hurts their firepower. Goaltending has not been a strength as well. Maybe a .500 team for a while.

SDS Posted March 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Four points behind Minnesota. Dallas has four games in hand to make up one point. Vancouver and Winnipeg have one game in hand to make up one or two points. Vegas in freefall after playing a slew of non-playoff teams and now they have a stretch against much better teams. They are 17th now, but could drop down to 14 without playing another game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Will the pick be used to bring in an NHL player? Then I care. A long shot for 2026? Not a wit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trettioåtta Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 20 games left in the season. I think the next three are crucial. They lose them, I think panic sets in, PTSD starts to hit Eichel, he tries too hard and they don't play well in a team. That could carry them through to 10 games left in the season with them only 6-8 points higher in the standings, but which point it is too late to correct.

If this plays out...Bedard is the selection especially given the political landscape with regards to Russia as a whole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why do we want to make the same mistake by relying on an unproven prospect and another $750 K vet goalie as his partner. It’s long past time to go out and actually fix the position with real players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s long past time to go out and actually fix the position with real players. We don't agree on the approach to doing this. I don't even agree with what you are saying here as Hutton was not a 750k vet goalie and we weren't relying on an unproven prospect to partner with him.
