It’s like one team is running away with it and the others are just sitting. It’s nuts what this team is pulling off. I give them respect for it though.

You could give an expansion team the most whacky parameters to build their team imaginable and it still wouldn’t be as uniquely designed as this Vegas team

These are the kinda deals that get players traded for future considerations next season

Everyone lost their sh!t at home with this news. Foken Sharks man. Stupid, stupid decision in the history of decisions. Shot ourselves in the foot and the head with that, and I agree with others, we knew we weren’t getting to the playoffs this year, but now, we can 💯 be sure we can add next year, and the year after that, and the year after that. I hope we don’t get to playoffs ever again. We are utterly and contemptibly F’d. We have lost caliber, stature, and experience.🤦♀️

Wonder how the coaching staff will manage these guys when Stone and Hertl are healthy.
And San Jose retained 17% of salary

swept in first round PLEASE

They picked up Ninja Hertl? Geez.

For all you loser crying about Vegas, just realize Toronto is far more over the cap than Vegas is using LTIR. But sure keep crying

I’m sure someone’s said this but Vegas builds its roster like chel franchise mode on easy. it’s insane how they gain and hemorrhage elite talent so frictionlessly.

Vegas giving away their future to focus on this year. The funny part will be when they wont even make the playoffs. That would be hilarious

Fuck Vegas

I just don’t understand how Grier could make this deal without there being a little something on the side. They just gave their best player to their biggest rival for pretty much nothing

I love Hertl, damn it’s gonna be weird seeing him not in teal

Sorry but this is absolutely bullshit. I hate Vegas, but idk if I can blame them for working their way around this loophole. I blame the NHL for being incompetent af and not doing something about shit like this.

Knights Management has figured it out less than 7 years into the league. The rest of the league hasn’t for whatever reason, can’t be mad at Vegas for not caring about picks and going for broke every year. It’s pretty cool to watch.
I’m sure they’d rather have Stone in their lineup than have to swing a bunch of trades but that dude is quite brittle these days so might as well make the most of it.
Plus, players want to play in Vegas, its income tax free, fun, great living, awesome facilities, great food, great arena.

He’s recovering from knee surgery. Does anyone know the timeline for his return?
He’s a really solid first or second line center when healthy but he won’t do them any good in his current condition.

Fuck this. Bettman need to get his head out of his ass. Other GMs need to wake the fuck up, I will agree Vegas is just smart here.
Vegas fuck you, and fuck you fairweather fuckfaces not even from vegas. Fucking in chicago seeing vegas shit i wanna punch myself in the dick. Bitter, yes? Your complete bullshit expansion draft rules that were wayyyyy too lenient, that literally no other expansion team ever had. Look at the fucking Wild or the Jackets, that’s how your first few years should go. Hopefully this trade fucks your future and you enjoy the bottom of the league for the rest of eternity.

Did I get in before all the mark stone and other crying comments?
People were mad at Tampa for doing it, now they’re mad at Vegas for doing it. I suspect those complaining would be SILENT if it was their team doing it and winning the cup.

Vegas will be difficult to beat now. Quite a move from them.

Ya’ll are insufferable af. 100% Stone planned that lacerated spleen. Get real. Ya’ll act like you’re the ones playing for the Stanley Cup.

Vegas signs datsyuk and puts him on IR. Reverse ages him in time for the first round of the playoffs.

Too bad so sad vegas
The whining over certain teams circumventing the cap is obnoxious to me. If the majority of owners across the league actually cared about [closing the loophole](https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/nhl-gms-not-eager-to-close-ltir-loophole-despite-perceived-abuses/) it would have happened by this point.
