Man U tree is going rip ups apart if this keeps up but Vegas management did this to them selfs they’d destroyed a amazing team of players that teams told get lost except for the flower giving up picks the future killed Vegas window the max trade was for nothing robin lenather trade might be nothing he most likely on the way out after this season signing Alex Pietrangelo so far has look bad idea Jack echile trade looks awful gave a lot the only trade looks like we won is stone trade Brainstrom has not became a stud d man for sens and sens haven’t made to plays offs since 2017 but Vegas since 2019 keep going all in over and over and it we have like no future left every season in cap hell
Eichel not so good lately? Hmm, huh, really?😂😂
Vegas has sold all of its hard working players out for high value free agents and now that injuries have taken them out, we don't have the depth to replace it. The Mcmanagers took that first year and why it was actually succesful for granted. It's bitter to watch this playout. I truly loved what this team stood for in it's first year and it's hard to stay with them today
Regardless of whether they make the playoffs or not, the next few years could be rough in Vegas. They have no cap space, an aging core, a hollowed out farm system, and zero goodwill from potential free agents.
Since starting this season, 13 and 2, Vegas is 16-16-4. So even before the injuries kicked in, Vegas was struggling. Jack Eichel has 1 point in his past eight games as well. With the news that Mark Stone is out of the line up indefinitely, don't be surprised to see Vegas go out and try to get another big piece at the deadline.
Vegas never recovered from their playoff loss to the Habs in 2021.
If this team was smart, which they are not they would sell starting now. Bringing in one rental or two rentals is not going to win the Stanley Cup. This team is just not good enough. Even if Mark Stone comes back with two rental players in the mix still not good enough to win the Stanley Cup so why throw away assets for rentals? They should make anyone available except for the three with a no-trade clause start the rebuild now instead of waiting. If there was a miracle they can find a way for someone to take Jack eichel. I believe he is far from Elite these days
Time to sell some players?
Knights remind me a lot of Toronto last year with LT making All Star Game as Goalie when Campbell did too. They got on losing streaks around time they got nominated to it. STone injury prone but that trade was not that bad. Eichel was the one I was Totally Against as I Claimed Tuch Would Score More Goals. Krebs I was not a fan of really. Though Tuch had the size with speed scoring on a good contract for a team who needed it. If were going to spend that money should have signed Doogie Hamilton like DEvils who thriving with him. That Gold Uniform is another reason I'm sorta glad they losing. They will make some trades to try to stay in top 4 of Pacific. That will decide if make Playoffs along with King of Hill. Stanley Cup haha Nope hehe ;).
I would love it if Vegas missed the playoffs again. Karma is a bitch.
I've been wondering if Vegas will move on from Eichel before his NTC kicks in (which I could be wrong about, it may have already kicked in, but I think it's next season). See if they can find another sucker to encumber with that bloated contract
Part of me would just love to see the Sabres make the playoffs and for Eichel to hit the greens at the end of regular season.
just imagine that irony if buffalo makes playoffs and vegas dont
Eichel is good when the teams good. Hes bad when the teams bad. He does not mesh well with adversity
Oh, I believe Vegas will miss the playoffs.
What an up-and-down history of that franchise. Obviously sales and marketing do not carry the day.
We are only missing 4 players that’s all , if we can only trade ones that aren’t playing well then we’ll come right back and be in the top of the league
Hi Shannon ! The next game for Vegas is on Feb 7. The rest will help them greatly to get their puck control back where it was in the fall in Oct/ Nov . They had 9 players out for quite some time in December and January . Now everyone back except Stone who should be ready in April for playoffs . No worries here .
Seems like it would be exhausting to be a big time Vegas fan.
Eichel isn't consistent
A bit of an oversimplification but alot of Vegas issues seem to be they largely only score of the rush, Carrier is about the only one willing to work hard to get to the inside. If teams can stop Vegas scoring on the rush they'll probably win because we can seem to consistently score any other way.
If VGK move Karlsson, that would mean a serious rebuild. It's true that most contenders would give their left arm to get Karlsson for their 2nd, 3rd or shutdown line. Karlsson has proved he can win league +/- playing 1st line center, so the ceiling is there.
You can't mention Vegas without talking about Eichel, and how Buffalo's neophyte (at the time) GM Kevin Adams absolutely fleeced the VGK's! Eichel, just one year in Vegas is already acting as if he wants his coach fired. After all, it worked 3 times in Buffalo, but, with his fat paycheck, and the ugly reputation he's getting, the VGK are probably be stuck with him.
Vegas sold their soul to the devil in exchange for the promises of a Stanley cup and the golden knights haven’t come truly close to achieving since getting to the finals in 2018
What’s said in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But they have to go on a run to maintain a playoff spot and get Mark stone and everyone back.
Injuries are seriously an excuse here, way more injuries last year than this, it’s just like they’ve given up. We’re not going to make the playoffs and we’re kneecapped for the next five years, buckle up boys
