As

big a kaliyev fan as i am(lol) that sounds terrible...

Brisson Parssinen Kaliyev
Vaakaneinen Brannstrom

starting 5

i couldnt imagine selling as a Rangers fan when youre paying Shesterkin 12m and Panarin enters the final year of his contract

What a fall from grace that organization has seen

i smell a devils fan.

Igor will be in his prime for quite a few more years. Panarin we need to move on from anyway, Wouldnt be surprised to see him traded this summer. He will be replaced this summer. Rangers have money (esp if we trade Panarin). The core is still pretty young. Miller will be the new leadership of the team, Kreider /Trouba/Mika are done.

it looks like Brendan's agent belongs to his dad's agency, but isn't his dad himself -- would that be a conflict of interest? Are there any stipulations on who can or can't be a player's agent?

Oddly enough, I agree

Seems an awful lot for Reilly.

Someone put a peice up a couple weeks ago that Smith if moved, would want to go back to Vegas. Guess they were right.

There’s no greater fall from grace than having to play or go to games in Newark, Nj, Jewel of the Passaic River.

I let my wife think she’s my agent so I only have to give her 15% of my earnings

Kaliyev sucks. Rsther have Berard Othmann Parssinen playing

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Nice job Vegas!

Now trade for Marchessault!

 

[VivaLasVegas]

Seems an awful lot for Reilly.

Nah, Brisson wasn't working out and so it is really just the 2025 3rd for a player who already fits in to a certain role with the Knights, being the position he vacated.

Nice job Vegas!

Now trade for Marchessault!

I give a 60/40 chance of it happening since Marchy kind of bombed in Nashville, but Nashville would have to retain some % to make it happen (Nashville's penalty for overpaying Marchy in the first place).

There goes the most prolific first rounder to ever play for Vegas

Wow, that's not even hyperbole!

Vegas really has done it "Their way."

Didn’t Crosby babysit Brisson when he was a kid?

I believe he used to live with the family during the summers in his early years due to Pat Brisson being his agent and Sid wanting to spend the summer in LA. So it's entirely possible he did babysit him.
