VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS CHEATING THE CAP AGAIN? JACK EICHEL & MARK STONE INJURIES + LTIR (NHL Rumours)
It’s an evil evil world man yesterday against the Nashville Predators we had ourselves Vegas golden knights defenseman Shay Theodore sued up for his first game since November now Theodore was out for a while I had him in fantasy so I just kind of stashed him away on
The IR so it was pretty nice to see him come back and be a new addition to my squad in a way you know I mean he’s played 21 games so far so this has not really been a full season for Theodore but upon his return to the Vegas golden
Knights lineup he did get himself a power play assist which was very nice to see Carlson from nicka and Theodore and because he’s back in the lineup there’s some pretty interesting things going on in Vegas Theodore is making $5.2 million a year on this salary cap until the end of
2425 which means when the Vegas golden knights reactivated Shay they had to do some shenanigans finagling to make things work here’s the tweet from cap friendly from earlier on the 19th Vegas has activated sheay Theodore from ltir today they didn’t have enough LTI relief to do so without making
Another move our assumption is that they have placed Jack eel on the LTI here’s the update on cap LTI relief is 15 mil ltir used is 7.2 mil so the ltir cap space would now be 7. 8 mil and this was confirmed later in that same day when the cap friendly automated
Transactions tweeted out that Jack eel is going from the IR to the LTI now if you needed the update as to what Jack eel has been up to the guy hasn’t played a game since January 11th he’s been out for a while because he had himself surgery so the fact that he’
Already been out for an extended amount of time gave the Vegas golden knights the opportunity to say okay well we’re bringing Theodore back up let’s put jack eel on the ltir and we’ll continue playing in the same way we’ve been playing ever since the middle of January
Because that’s when we lost Jack eel that’s when he got surgery and that’s when we had to adjust right but as you can see the replies and the quote tweets are going insane first reply says just in time to cheat the cap again the league needs to prevent this they cheat
This way every year it’s such a bad look for the NHL cheaters are going to cheat what a joke Franklin goes on ltir to circumvent the cap this has been a huge huge thing and I was not going to make a video about this initially like this
Happened two days ago I was like oh darn Jack iel on the ltir but that’s okay because he’s already been out for a month so it’s not like anything new has happened with the Vegas golden knights right wrong because in that same Vegas Golden Knights game against the Nashville predator
You had yet another very important piece of this team end up leaving the lineup it is Mark Stone who got himself an injury too he left the game and his 9.5 million aav cap hit is one of the biggest on the team he’s a top tier player 53 points 56 games played full
Season Point production pace of 77 in 82 games and this is what M Kelly McMan said earlier today on the Pierre Maguire sick podcast Mark Stone will be out for a while Jack eel and William ker are getting closer to returning now I’m kind of intrigued as to why he said the
Second part why are you saying that Jack eel is getting close to returning when you just put him on the LTR two days ago that kind of doesn’t really make sense right but with this marked Stone news putting itself on blast hey the Vegas golden knights are doing the thing again
I don’t know how long a while is but if a while is long enough to put Mark Stone on the LTI then all of a sudden you’ve got Stone and his $9.5 million cap hit and you’ve got Jack eel with his $1 million aav cap hit not to mention Robin laner
Is on here too there’s $15 million in ltir space right now and if you put Stone on that ltir that expands to 20 4 million gosh darn dollars that is a lot of freaking money that you could go out there and use right now the Vegas golden
Knights have used up about 6.7 mil of that cap space on the ltir so if you Tred to map it out they’ve got about 9 million bucks remaining on the ltir space if you double that add-on Stone if you have $18 million to work with heading into the trade deadline then who
Knows what the hell this team is going to be able to do Chris T have come on down no hanen why don’t you come on down all of these top tier players that are available on the market for March’s trade deadline come on down to Vegas be
A part of this super team and if they could keep Jack eel and Mark Stone out of the lineup long enough to pull off that Nikita kucherov special then we may see an absolutely dominant version of the Vegas golden knights present itself in the playoffs once everything begins
Who cares how they do in the regular season if Mark Stone and Jack eel are out for the rest of the year look I mean this team is good enough to go out there and win even last night I mean they didn’t win against Nashville but still nicku
Has stepped up in a very big way on that first line Paul cter is now a second line player he’s been fine admittedly he’s such an energy ball out there always hitting guys always blocking shots and he’s get some time on the power play too he’s actually been pretty
Okay there Mason Morelli has been super effective in in his limited role and now you have sheay Theodore back so that adds some great depth to your power play he is finally the puck moving defenseman this team needed on that first unit once again so with this roster which doesn’t
Have stone doesn’t have eel honestly especially when you consider how the Pacific Division has been playing out too this team has a very good chance at just sticking around in the top three making the playoffs and being a part of that dance and if they’re able to
Capitalize on all this cap stuff that’s been going on they do this every year man it’s how they got petrangelo then I don’t know what’s going to happen next man Vegas golden knights fans y’all let me know in the comments all your opinions about this
Team let’s go out there and see the Andy and Rono tweet Jack eel is on the LTI and the golden knights have space over $8 million under the cap so which player or players will they acquire Dr gensel hannahan tanv Walker if they end up get getting Jake gensel from the Pittsburgh
Penguins and a guy like Noah Hanahan like what in the world is going to happen with this team once everybody is back and everybody’s fully healthy Stone eel gensel barbashev maraso Carlson like the depth will be incredible the depth goes on for days and this clearly is
Another one of these situations where if the Vegas golden knights pull a rabbit out of their hat and say yep sorry LTR space doesn’t matter in the playoffs like there’s no cap hit in the playoffs so we could just get as many guys as we want in the regular season make sure
We’re cap compliant and then game one of the first round eel Stone their back like I don’t buy for one second that Jack eel is getting closer to returning when just two days ago you put him on the ltir why would you do that what thought process goes into that where you
Shove the guy on the ltir just to have him there for a limited amount of time like I get it you need to have that cap space opened up for Shay Theodore to return turn but why would you do it with a move like this if this doesn’t work if
Eel really is getting closer then what’s going to happen when eel is back in like a week or so two weeks or so you’re just going to have sheay Theodor chilling on the team too you can’t injure that guy yourself you can’t take a hammer to his
Knee like there needs to be some movement here in order for Vegas to be cap compliant so I don’t buy the idea that eel’s going to be getting closer to returning and this implication that he’ll actually be able to play before the playoffs begins like I don’t know
For Mark Stone he’ll be out for a while Jack eel he may be out for a while too let me know your thoughts in the comments section below if you’re a fan of the NHL or a fan of the Vegas golden kns what are your opinions on all of
These opportunities I’m going to say they’re opportunities because that is exactly what they are they are chances to force a better and bigger Boulder team in Vegas and I think the rest of the NHL should be fearful of this opportunity thoughts in the comment section below I hope you enjoyed this Vish sh99

feels like tampa in 2021 …
lol just because GM’s are smart enough to take advantage of the situation under league rules doesn’t make it cheating
Buttman won't punish them for anything they're one of his American darling teams, there's a reason no Canadian team has won the cup since 93, the fix has been in for a LONG time!
Technically it’s not cheating its just good management.
Knowing my luck they will land hanafin lol
If the GK were a Canadian team, Bettman would disown them from the league.
vegas is gonna get swept first round while 18 mil over cap
Have to admire Vegas for going for it every year. No hesitation. No faux “retool”. It’s pedal to the metal, win or bust, every single season. Anyone who doubts them is shipped out, low % draft picks moved along for someone who can help them now. Big respect
The league can’t do anything because they can’t prove anything
It is what it is. Vegas wouldn’t be the first team that plays the system
VGK the team to b(ch)eat. All teams need to do this 😂 I know some others might do it.
If the Canucks tried this, Bettman would find a way to penalize them for a decade.
It’s so funny how the idiotic fans that are Canadian teams think bettman controls them to lose😂😂,and it’s also funny that the delusional idiotic Vegas haters think bettman controls the golden knights when he has nothing to do with them winning,other teams like Buffalo or Vancouver or Nashville or Columbus just suck 😂😂😂😂
If you’re not cheating, you’re not trying
Haters gonna hate, Stone 2 back surgeries last season, Eichel Knee surgery this year, and people hate that the team actually puts their players healing and rehabing as a priority so that they have a better chance when/if they make it to the playoffs. The VGK management is hated because they do whatever it takes to win. Something Canadians are not accustomed to doing, quit your whining and go to Tim Hortons.
When tampa won their last cup they were 25million over the cap in the playoffs. Its funny how the cup winners abuse LTIR
