Vegas has to hit a point where players just won't want to sign there.

I wish this were true, but the weather, atmosphere, facilities, no state tax will still attract many players.

Even if you run the risk of being traded to Columbus or somewhere 5 minutes later.

I lol'd at that last sentence!

Yeah, it was more wishful thinking. It seems like every year there's some other player that gets screwed over in Vegas, or leaves unhappy like Marchessault, so dare to dream...

I think it’s possible, but will have to wait until they bottom out in the standings. Even then, the above mentioned “advantages” will still attract good players, but it might not be enough if the team sucks otherwise

Well they are still a good team. If that changes they might well be like San Jose or Anaheim before long.

Don't forget the non-stop access to hookers, strippers, and drugs, lol.

Mark Stone's gonna slip from getting off their bed and get sent straight to LTIR for a bruised foot.

Damn I'm loving these hires, with maybe Kassian being a question mark. But who knows, he may surprise us.

Pro scouting was one thing I felt Holland improved here but amateur scouting I felt was better under Chiarelli. If only we had a guy who could legitimately balance both.

Because they now realize that the team does not care for them and they now know full well they will show you no loyalty

Interesting move with Rychel. He spent 6 years scouting for Arizona from 2000 to 2006 and well you can take a look at their drafting. He then moved onto running the Windsor spitfires for 13 years before joining the oilers 2 years ago. Will be interesting how he does things

Erik Ekenz is video and analytics. When I see analytics alone I get annoyed. Video before means he has some idea that with analytics you need to back it up with video evendence.

Dominik Zrim co-founded Capfriendly. He has worked for the Hawks and Sharks after founding capfriendly. before hockey he worked for Bell Canada for 14 years

No idea about David Avenochko

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Moved. Please delete

lol, I just imagine Holland googling "what is cap management?". Anyways good to see they are beefing up staff in these areas, better late than never.

Is the weather actually a plus to players?

If you stand in the same place to long your shoes start to melt into the pavement.
