The biggest issue for Vegas is that they've been horribly mismanaged. They just started acquiring players with no regard to actually building a sustainable team. Now they're in the 9th circle of cap hell with no way out in sight. They sold off anything that wasn't bolted down for veterans with big contracts. All of those young players would be really useful for their cap issues.
No pity from this guy, Frikin expansion team that has had long playoff runs since they started. Love to seen them struggle and hopefully not make the playoffs. I was so glad the Wild didn’t give away the farm for one player. Let Vegas tap dance like everyone else has had to do! Eichel is a great player, hockey is a team game and the risk of bringing him in for Tuch and a #1 was calculated. Welcome to reality Vegas 😀
I don’t blame eichel
It’s their management, the worst in the league in my opinion not in terms of success but attitude
The dadonov trade is kind of funny but they way they’ve thrown out most of the original misfits for very little for the most part just makes me go ugh
The Wild played him/it/he/them recently but I didn’t notice anybody and somehow he was still ‘the most Dangerous’.
Yeah right; dude sucks.
Now AlexTuch, former Wild 1st Rounder, the beginning of the Kiril-era….now that’s be a topic I like…Jack’MeHoff’ Eichel!!
I never liked this dude.
Knights lost both games back to back when Dadonov was traded. More pressure for the team when he was dealt out. Those two losses are four points keeping them out of playoff picture. This is a developing story created off the ice.. by management. Truth is the team itself has been amazingly resilient . Will Vegas ownership ever see this mess for what it is.
No matter what team you cheer for; when Eichel fails along with Vegas – all hockey fans win.
lol
Definitely Eichel… Go Sabres baby!
I've played hockey for 40 plus years, I've followed the sabres for all of those years, Eichel is a disaster, look at how he put down the buffalo fans upon return, this guy has zero class, he was a negative 81 over his pro career , he's fragile and can be a one way player on off days, yes super shot, that's it! does not get people on their feet except when scoring otherwise he does not stand out as a player. He's toxic in the dressing room and on the ice. Vegas will not make the playoffs and Eichel will get rich either way.
What an awkward situation for Dadonov. Imagine playing for a team that tried to trade you. It’s gonna be funny when he gets booed in Anaheim.
The management sucks as well
Yes
Karma for burning MAF !!!!
I so hope VGK miss the playoffs by 1pt
I actually think Vegas will trade Eichel, just a feeling.
Eichel belongs on the Bruins! Bergeron is getting old
well can't blame Eichel Vegas mismanaged so bad and now i don't think anyone's gonna help em out at least the western teams will not
So teams are looking to cheat like Tampa Bay, wow.
You won’t get empathy from me here. As a ranger fan in buffalo I still check out the team regardless and without him the kids were motivated and happier. Also a new coach that wasn’t Krueger helps as well.
He has the attitude of a spoiled, unappreciative bratty child who can’t captain a team. Vegas knew what they were getting into and honestly don’t feel bad. They drafted such a good team and that’s why they had such immediate success. They took the leap to imitate Tampa and their salary cap. Things don’t always work out and their dumb strategy is gonna cost them another playoff run. They tinkered with the team too much and didn’t need to go hog wild after a good expansion draft.
Seattle is a different story but they loaded at the trade deadline. Vegas acquired him and now negatively effects the locker room. The sabres are on a winning streak now to boot and jack is hurt again.
It’s sad because he’s such a talented player who has the potential to be a Crosby lite but man that attitude sucks. Look at how salty he was in his first game against buffalo. Maybe you wouldn’t have gotten booed if you acted like a man. The city embraced you when you got your first goal and there on out. Change your attitude, bud. Yes they have a handful of impactful and important players on IR but they’re using that to gain help and mess with their salary cap. Good luck Vegas. Just kidding, suck it.
Go oilers.
Lmaooooo
The future would be so much brighter if they had Suzuki or Glass or Krebs. Instead they’re stick with a cursed Eichle and a declining Pacoretty.
Either seems like a me first guy to me. And I hate to say that about American players. But this looks to be the problem.
lol blaming jack eichel for trash management
It’s the VGK hubris curse
Jack Eichel cancer is more appropriate.
He missed so much time an had a back surgery.. what did u expect after 2 months u idiots? If anything it's the buffalo curse cause they held him hostage not letting him play or get surgery
Glad to see Eichel’s attitude come back to haunt him
VGK is gonna squeeze in barley depending on their Dallas game. Dallas has a strong up hill battle opponent wise. It’s gonna be a wild few games left. 1 point separating everything.
Eichel is all about Eichel. Look at his body language when the team is down by a goal or two. Pouter and cancer.
Soo, your point is??
With a haircut like that, 100%
I love it. Great insight!!!!!
I hope they miss it and Flower wins the cup with the Wilds – now that's the dream.
It’s because they traded there good goalie 😂
Man all your videos on Vegas just age like milk don't they guess what they're first in the Pacific and the Canucks are 6th
He's not as good as he thinks he is. He also seems a little dim and completely lacking in self awareness. It was nice to see them miss the playoffs. Maybe again this year?
