[Relapsing]

Oh come the f*** on.

f*** you Vegas

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Holy f*** vegas i love it !

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

so Vegas got Mantha, Hanifin and Hertl nobody is stopping this team.

I thought maybe Winnipeg could do it after they got Toffoli but no, not now.

Thats a massive haul for hertl, dk how they make the cap work next yr tho

 

[Rubi]

Knights getting tougher to beat in the playoffs. The competition is crying in their beer.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

What an overeaction, get a grip
its only 27 ish million over the cap

 

[Warden of the North]

Just a reminder - all 32 teams can do this. Most of them can't seem to figure it out. It's not the league's fault.

 

[Seattle King]

Viva Las Vegas

My hate Vegas so much for their blatant cap circumvention but my god do I ever respect them for their IDGAF attitude towards it.

I really hope other GMs start taking notes and acting in the same reckless manner of we will trade/ trade for anyone at anytime

If a Canadian team/teams were the first to expose this loophole and not Tampa/Vegas, it would’ve been shut down immediately.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Hertl is 30 years old & in the 2nd year of an 8 year deal.

Vegas taking on alot of risk with that contract. Nvm what that means for pending UFA's Stephenson, Marchessault, Hanifin, Carrier.

Will be interesting to see the circumventing shenanigans they pull off to get out of that contract in 3 years.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Oh they're really going for it

[The Gr8 Dane]

Hope Vegas win the cup

 

[57special]

I hope Vegas doesn't make the playoffs.

To think that MN is paying one gazillion bucks in cap penalties for obeying the rule, but not the spirit, of the salary cap rules, while this shit goes on in just absurd.

 

[Coffee]

Edmonton probably praying LA holds the third seed right now

LOL

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

The other teams have to band together to make sure they have cap problems for next season. Make them violate the salary cap when next season begins, and pay the penalty for it.

Looks like they need to make the playoffs first lol

 

[TheBeard]

Vegas hasn't had a franchise for 10 years and they've already operated it better than quite a few teams decades in.

Continue being salty.

They're still reaping the benefits of a advantageous expansion draft that brought in a boatload of additional picks. It's easy to score when you're immediately put on third base.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

At least Hertl will get a cup :,)

 

[CanMerc]

Easy fix is that player must be activated by game 82 in order to be eligible for the play offs.

Make it so only players active at the TDL are eligible to play in the playoffs

 

[SpezDispenser]

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!

Stupid post is stupid.

No one but vegas knows how to make the cap work

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Ottawa was at the cap all year?

can you just not nitpick a post and understand the essence??

are you gonna pull out the balance sheet of the ottawa senators now?

are you capable of getting a statement made despite the fallacies?

Are you as strict with your family, your school, your company, your government?

or just behind a screen on a computer??

Jesus Christ Lord Christ Jessusss

 

[HanSolo]

So all that I said about Vegas not having assets to make big moves, egg on my face.

 

[Glorydays22]

Say what you say about Vegas

But I love this deal for the Sharks....Great deal for them!
