That, too, but also they are willing to take risks like no one else. I admire them for that, and would like to see more teams (also us) to do more of the same.
Vegas is insane - rumors even have them shopping Pietrangelo, apparently. If they want Stammer they'll make some off the wall trade to get it done. I think that's a terrible idea, but with them, you can't use logic and cap space to predict decisions
. Keeps playing for our biggest rival all the while we're paying him 6 mil next year.So theyre going to shop a 34 year old dman signed at 8.8 million for 3 more years and has a full NMC for the entirety of his contract? I guess.Vegas is insane - rumors even have them shopping Pietrangelo, apparently. If they want Stammer they'll make some off the wall trade to get it done.

Final ask - give me two defensemen, one of which is a true top 4, and either get me elite forward talent like Stammer/Marner, young guys with potential like Nylander, or stay the heck out entirely. Please don't sign more bottom sixers, especially to contracts with term.

They both scored 40 just last year...
Assuming we do end up signing these guys we're tied too, we in some sense will have rebuilt it's just been replacing vets with other better vets instead of young guys. That being said we do have a strong prospect pool now too. If this ends up working than Trotz is going to have introduced a new strategy to rebuilding. It does have the potential to blow up spectacularly too though so we will see.
I hear you, they are hockey old, but they can score some goals. I really like Marchessault though, I always kind of saw him as the heart of the Vegas team. He was always flying around and annoying the other teams.
I mean both of those guys are better than anyone not named Forsberg offensively.
But I am still worried about our age structure. We're going to be a really old team next year.
At this point, I think Duchene's just trolling us
Reeallly hoping we're in on Pinto...
I think it's a sign that those guys are on their way out which has really been evident since the middle of last season. Parsinnen is the only one I see sticking around.
His first season with big season with Vegas he had 64 points and was the 2nd leading scorer. Stone missed most of the season. He was also the 2nd leading scorer on that cup team with 65 points. He had 20 points in 22 playoff games that season.
Man, I am glad we traded him when we did and didn't sign him to that deal.
It's how they got their ownership, so it shouldn't be too shocking.
