Mike Grier is the new Jim Benning.
They’re also retaining salary still from the Brent Burns trade with Carolina for this year and next
Hoping, with the 2 games coming up vs the Kraken, that LV looses and the Kraken close the 6 point gap and LV loose the playoff spot 😂. All that money golfing
I know I'm a little late here but if you want a (completely amatuer and not trustworthy) scouting report on Edstrom.
He plays for my team here in Sweden, and I followed him closely during the juniors.
As of the last couple of games in the SHL, he has been slotted in as the first line center for Frölunda. He has gone from looking like a decent two way center (which I feel confident he will be even in the worst case scenario) to a guy that can help run the offense of a top line in one of the most defense focused leagues in the world. He has completely played up to the talent he's been put with, and he looks very comfortable.
Like I said, he also has a solid 2-way game, especially for his age, and he plays the PK here in Sweden and doesn't really stand out one way or another (I assume it will take some time before he gets trusted with that in the show).
He does struggle with physicality, which is common for young players in the SHL, since it's not a big part of junior play here. But he is rather large, carrier himself well, and is a good skater, so I have faith that he will be able to at least handle the physical aspects after a couple of months in the show (I wouldn't be surprised to see him embrace it either).
He seems to be getting a long great in the locker room, and from what I've heard, he has no issue talking to media and helped take on the "media role" for the world juniors team this year.
Also, if any higher-ups in the sharks read this. Vegas pwomised us we could keep him next year and I would be vewy angwy with you if you called him over and he didn't get one more year with Fwölunda >:(
Steve is doing a great job biting his tongue. Good on you Girl Dad. Gonna need that. Mine is 9 now. Trust me, develope the skill
I hate Vegas but if Stone comes back, how the hell does everyone play in the playoffs?
this is a great trade for san Jose. the fans whining expect to be competitive while we still have vlasic on the books XD.
ignore them, this is a good move. like the timo deal, it will age well
This proves to me that Grier should be fired ,,, I’m sorry but you give up your best asset for 2 low 1st rounders and you retain $ for them,,, I’m sorry but if you make Hertl available at the draft you can get a more better haul him and get much better prospects ,,, I don’t blame LV they’re using the rules good for them. , but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t smell! Vegas knows that their window is very small ,,, I believe that Stone this year is actually not coming back ,, I’m more impressed with the Jets they are a very complete team,, Game on ,,, Go Avs
Why not go live?
Changing landscapes, some good moves, some so so moves.
Vegas Golden Knights… Punking the Canadian Hockey Mafia since 2017. Embrace the suck Canada.
Vegas got the DEI GM hire to keep $1.4M/yr in salary.
Imagine how funny itd be if Vegas misses the playoffs
VGK's actual salary expenditure us estimated at $115M. Several guys like Stone & Petro are getting paid more this year in actual cash than their AAV cap hit. But that can happen on any team.
FYI, they can fit Hertl with $289,183 in cap space left. San Jose retained 17% of the salary to make him fit.
might be the worst trade in recent years
You hate to see it, but you also gotta kinda appreciate it
As a Vegas fan I really appreciate that you guys are keeping it real and factual with the cap space and LTIR stuff. Half the league is doing but we’re the only ones who are getting called out for it. Just say you hate Vegas, that I’ll respect. Don’t come at us with the “cheaters” and the “they need to be investigated”
Bullshit.
Demand better management from your team and quit bitching.
AND we haven’t been that great lately. We’re definitely in trouble. Hoping we can hold on for these last few games.
Every cup contender could have circumvented the ltir and only one asshole franchise did it.. In consecutive years
Steves face is what every SJ fan feels like today
Vegas definitely has dirt on the sharks GM there’s no way or dirt on the league. Shady as hell
God I love Vegas
