Hayes: ‘How does Vegas keep getting away with this?’
OverDrive host Bryan Hayes joins SC with Jay Onrait to share his thoughts on the Golden Knights’ acquisition of Noah Hanifin and discusses if he thinks the Leafs have a path to trade for a much-needed defenceman.
Yeah just do what Vegas does. So your telling to the rest of the league to put your best players in LTIR a couple of months before they playoffs to load up on the best talent available at the deadline and have those top players miraculously heal come game 1 of the playoffs…. Right… 🙄🤦🏻♂️
Considering the Leafs, oh boy Dubas screwed the team over. Not only did he win only one round in many years, not only did he heavily overpay the core the first time around, not only did he move an affordable second line center for another at over twice the price, but he spent futures so heavily that Treliving stepped into a nightmare with being up against the wall with signing or trading the core and currently having years of draft capital already spent leaving him with little to work with. Always a good look to bring in a young cocky person to GM a Billion Dollar Hockey Franchise when he had absolutely no experience doing so at the NHL level. Then again, what do you expect from a rookie president with the same club? Seemingly the Leafs are going to marry themselves to the same core again for the foreseeable future. The same core that's won exactly "one" round of playoff hockey in many years. Toronto Maple Leafs same ole same ole…
hanifin was never gonna want to play in toronto lets be real vegas gets deals done cause they play in vegas and these rentals want to play there pretty simple.
like I said trade Brodie, Liljegren , and Robertson and get 2 stay at home stud dmen like a Savard, Edmunston, and Adam Larsen Can be done and should be done and shouldn't cost much.
It’s cheating and bettman is helping them the whole time because of the money Vegas brings to him. It wouldn’t matter as much if Canada hasn’t one a cup in 31 years and betting wasn’t taking over shit. It is what it is but Vegas gets privileges more than any team and it’s getting ridiculous. And that deal with Florida that was alowed not long away was complete bull shi.
Oh look, Leafs just moved Timmins to LTIR to get Edmundson. What cheaters, they abuse the cap circumvention. I'm so outraaaaaged… How about we just stop calling the Knights cheaters and acknowledge injuries happen ? I don't see Mark Stone coming back for playoffs and Martinez just got injured, with an expiring contract. Vegas looked absolutely horrendous for the last 2 months, they needed to move.
Part of it is George McPhee. He was a great GM (minus the Erat trade) for the Capitals and of course Vegas. Plus, it is Vegas; I bet that is a draw for young men + the no state income tax. If I were a NHL player, Vegas would be at the top of my list where I'd want to go!

Toronto needs to pull this with taveras. If Canadian teams do it betman will step in

Leafs wish they had Kelly as the Gm. If the league had a soft cap the Leafs would be way worse. Mets level worse.
Having a hired man to hit star players with SUVs right around trade deadline time definitely helps.
Completely ignores all their most expensive players going on LTIR every year after they are comfortably in a playoff position.
Hayes truly IS the Levis Grit Grinder
vegas golden cheats at it again lol
trading the same pick twice, making the rules up as they go lol

VGK are cheaters and bettman lets it happen bc he needs usa to win the cup
like I said trade Brodie, Liljegren , and Robertson and get 2 stay at home stud dmen like a Savard, Edmunston, and Adam Larsen
Can be done and should be done
and shouldn't cost much.
I hate what they are doing. It is basically cheating and it needs to stop ASAP. Adress this now, NHL!
… and you completely ignore Vegas's use of LTIR … dumb take

The most hated team in the league?
…you didn't even Bring up cap circumventing and ltir. Good job.
Them and Tampa played that fiddle
Getting away with what? By using LTIR rules as they exist for ALL teams.

Can someone explain to me why the salary cap doesn’t apply to the playoffs. Makes no sense.
