I didn’t say that. I said every time they got a marquee guy who was supposed to be the missing link, it’s backfired. I don’t see why Eichel would be any different.

In light of all this heat tonight I'd like to remind everyone 5 more years, he can rot, void, retire, four 1st round picks, we're in control

How did Stone backfire? Brannstrom (AHL struggling), Oscar Lindberg (Out of the NHL), and a second round pick.

This is the Sway
That just screams Las Vegas to me. So they are staying true to the soul of the city.

Lets Go Buffalo !!!
Seriously. 33 out of 32 teams make that trade.
And Pacioretty has been great for Vegas. Just wish they had given up Glass instead. That trade was a win-win.
Well it's always going to be a "showcase" town. You have to keep upping the ante - pun totally intended - to stay relevant against the other attractions in the city.
Perennially maintaining an undeniable "star" player on the roster is exactly what Vegas is going to be prioritizing in the long run. I expect them to operate similarly to the NY Rangers.

different GM. The same one that traded away Forsberg to nashville for a cap dump.
Assuming Rielly Smith is in the deal for cap reasons, because some some money has to go back.
That's no Stone, Patches, Touch due to injury and possibly no Smith due to trade.
That wing depth is about to get REAL thin until they get healthy.

Except adding him will make them the Leafs of the West, albeit with more playoff success. They are going to have to shed some major salary to make it fit long term and if they do that in the deal with Buffalo, the price goes way up.

seems like a very superficial way of managing players, I get this a business, but Vegas likes to churn players and send them on their way. Eichel might not be ready go until next season and who knows what kind of contribution he will have afterwards anyway. Such a tough deal. I feel there this will be a deal heavy on conditions. with buffalo adding picks and prospects to be named later if Eichel can't play again/doesn't reach a certain threshold of games played by a certain date.

For reference on the financial difficulty of the trade between these two. It will be fascinating to see how it's done.

Zary, Pelletier, Coronato, 1sts, Francis, Poirier maybe Dube. Unlike Vegas with Krebs, Calgary’s prospects are all available (Well maybe not Wolf but Buffalo also doesnt need goalie prospects)

it ain’t rocket science
Eichel has 5 yr
Tuck has 5 yrs
Theodore has 4 yrs
I think by 2025 the cap will increase by 5.25M covering Eichels salary.

My cap runneth over
It means you're confusing Vegas with the Sharks when their trades for Karlsson and Kane backfired.
