Vegas about to circumvent cap again? UPD: Mark Stone back practicing.

[LOFIN]

I hope Vegas can win another cup. It would be great for the league.

If you think this way in hoping that other teams would start copying them, you are wrong. There would probably be like 3 other teams that could pull stuff like this if they dared, because they will always be top destinations for players no matter what happens. Talking New York, the Florida teams, maybe Toronto for some players?

The way Vegas conducts their business in not all that nice for their players, but they still want to play there because it's a winning team in Las Vegas. You try to pull a stunt like this in say Edmonton, Philly or Colorado, players will say f*** that miserable organization.

[Sheppy]

they clinched as well as STL

Oh shit. Disregard.

Thought they were still a few points out of the WC.

Dallas wins the West and walks into a first round playoff series against a team that’s $20 mill over the salary cap.

What a fun prize.

Vegas, the city of miracles.

they clinched as well as STL

Ummm neither of those teams clinched anything.

Oh shit. Disregard.

He's wrong.

Lies.... we clinch the 2023 Stanley Cup and the way we are playing the 2024 Las Vegas open

Why is it miraculous? I'm guessing he didn't have his spleen removed because he'd have been back already. It's really hard to determine when a lacerated spleen will fully heal.

miraculous would be the coincidence of him returning for game 1 of the playoffs for 2 straight years after being out for a long time..... oh and he makes $8M AAV just for good measure

 

[TMLeafer]

Wow Vegas' magician medical staff have done it again. Much respect to these esteemed scientists.

[Magic Mittens]

Imagine everyday people having Vegas's medical staff!

In all honesty, everyone knew he'd be back for game 1

 

[Coffey]

my bad

All good

we should all do what they do our version of the The Nenana Ice Classic festival with Mark Stone next season. What date and time will his "season ending injury" be announced. We can do a 2nd one where we bet on when Mark Stone has returned to practice is announced.

 

[Brazen331]

If they keep playing Hertl on the wing maybe they’ll do a top line of Hertl-Eichel-Stone, that is if they can win a game before play start?

 

[Czechboy]

But we won't make the playoffs
But we dont have cap space to acquire any new players
Our season is in jeopardy
We didn't hurt stone!

Own your shit LV fans. I'm all for it and wish my gm did it but don't pretend you are some poor victims. The first round roster will be an all timer

That as funny for like a day. Now you just look like someone still making Wayne's World jokes.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

With St Louis still have to play Carolina and Dallas, Vegas probably is sitting at a 95% chance of making it. They need one point in 3 games if St Louis even wins one of those games.

 

[Coffey]

I've never been a Blues, Blackhawks, Wild, Avalanche and Ducks fan more in my entire life.
Holy f*** I LOVE the Central division!

PLEASE WIN ALL YOUR GAMES

If you're not taking advantage of loopholes, you're just asking to be taken advantage of by parties that are.

We don't want the NHL to be like the MLB from 1990-2010.

WOWWWWW lmao honestly I cant even hate this.

Blame the game. Not the player

Would have been 3 straight years but they brought him back from LTIR late in 2021-22 (shuffling other players to LTIR) because the Cheats were on a slide… thankfully the L’s continued to mount and the Cheats missed the playoffs in 2021/22. It would be a shame if the miss again this year.

Let’s go Blues! … Wild, Avs, Hawks and Ducks!

shameless cheaters man
