Confirmed Trade: [VGK/SJS] Tomas Hertl (17.05% retained), 2025 and 2027 3rd round picks for David Edstrom, 2025 1st round pick

[Mickey Marner]

Damn, which player(s) have to contract pretendanitis to make the cap work?

 

[Jee]

Mike Grier can suck my farts.

well that's a weird kink

 

[JoeSakic13]

I strive in life to give as little of a f*** as Knights upper management does.

 

[Koivu11]

Good old Bob McKenzie from the top rope with the last second shocker. Classic.

Based Bobfather.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Bravo, at this point you just have to applaud them for doing what seems impossible.

 

[Nakawick]

Man, I hope Vegas gets absolutely spanked in the first round.

 

[La Bamba]

Ok, what the actual f

 

[Some Other Flame]

Vegas putting the rest of the league to shame with their cap maneuvers

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Pathetic

 

[SpezDispenser]

Does the salary cap not apply to Vegas?

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

As the potential first round matchup, Jesus Christ man

 

[McDrailers]

NBA super teams in the NHL is something I’ll start to hate

 

[CanadianHockey]

Hope this backfires and they ruin team chemistry trying to activate everyone for the playoffs.

 

[Tralfamadore]

At this rate their roster is gonna be worth twice that of their playoff opponents.

 

[Umingmak]

The LTIR rule needs to be fixed. This is insanity. It should've been fixed after Tampa with Kucherov. That nothing has been done is beyond absurd.

 

[DS7]

VGK showing every other team how to actually do it

Having star players go on LTIR before the Trade Deadline? Don't get me wrong, they're maximizing the opportunity given to them, but that part is luck. Hardly a blueprint.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Vegas just taking a dump on the NHL and its "rules".

This just has to change. They're looking at two top-6 forwards making miraculous recoveries for game 1 of the playoffs.

Miraculous recoveries? Give me a break.

Stone has a lacerated spleen and Hertl just had knee surgery.

They aren't faking injuries here. If they play in game 1 they'll almost certainly be playing injured or not at 100%.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

teams can compete more under the Cap they said...

the cap is helping the league grow they said

at least, without the cap, you'd have a couple of Canadian teams succeeding, and you'd have more than just 1 team stacking up on players

but noooooooooooooooo, we have to be fair to teams like OTT WIN CLB ARZ etc

if you can't take the heat, relocate! that simple

NO CAP!

NO CAP!

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Something about a house money joke. Vegas is so f***ing fun. Hopefully they're bad when the Hawks are good.

 

[CanMerc]

Vegas must have lawyers who sole job is to find loopholes in the league rules

 

[AintLifeGrand]

can't wait for the inevitable Vegas collapse in 2 years once this core ages out...They ain't got shit for prospects

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

TWO 1STS FOR HERTLE WHO HAS A FULL NMV FOR 6 MORE YEARS???


lol just kidding they just gonna LTIR him

 

[TheBeard]

Less painful than Grier's kink of eating the souls of Sharks fans.

well that's a weird kink

 

[BerthMania]

Wtf I don't understand many things

#1 How can Vegas afford that considering their other trades and the fact SJ won't retain on a 6 year contrat
#2 Why would Vegas want Hertl for so long?

 

[Bounces R Way]

That's insane. How the hell are they going to fit all these guys in next year?

oh wait there is no tomorrow for the Golden Knights

 

[olli]

Does Hertl even have much Value with the contract he’s on (6 more years after this year at 8.1M)?? Unless San Jose Retained a good chunk of it bit Grier doesn’t like to retain much based on the Karlsson trade.
