TUSK v2.0 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 4 minutes ago, greenbean30 said: Depending on what they send back to Calgary, this trade makes them a lot better. And if they can add another $3m player, then get Stone back on day 1 of the playoffs, which they will, then Vegas is the favourites with Colorado being a close 2nd. You go ahead and put your money on that, I pick the "underdog" (as you think per above) and Edmonton takes out vegas in 7, long, hard, painful games which take out half of edmonton.... and, Winnepeg does the same to Colorado in a long battle that hurts everyone's pinky finger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Allvin to make one more move at least but even if we stand pat, we have Hughes/Hronek plus a huge physical 2nd and 3rd pairings. Rock solid Juulsen as our #7. An elite goaltender. Two 100 point two-way C’s. An elite 3rd line. Big, fast 4th line. Then Boeser. Hoglander. Lindholm fits in somewhere. Maybe we call up Podkolzin or Bains for some jump. We’re good. Very good. I think Alvin will add Jordan Greenway and Erik Johnson. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selanne/kariya, wade redden, seabrook, rucinsky - lots of big moves go nowhere. Here's hoping. I don't really care what the other teams do. I mean its an exciting time for sure but I don't worry or wonder after these moves are made. Vancouver has consistently been performing at the top of the league for the season. They will be a handful for any teams no matter the adds. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both players are more role players. Huge role players though with Johnson at 6’4” 231 and Greenway at 6’6” 234.

coolboarder Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 This trade is a perfect example of why cap world doesn't work. The only way for the cap to work is move up the trade deadlines to before the all-stars so teams will know what they need, not in March. By moving up January deadlines, it will be a big risk for them to acquire and try circumvent the cap. If they miss the playoffs, this will set teams back years. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only our awesome play earlier thats kept us at the top. While I agree we are still a good team and will put up a good fight, I don't see us winning a single series in the west playing like we have the last 10 games. we could definitely use some help.

Ghostsof1915 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Vancouver Giants is looking like a better alternative honestly. It's so sad what money is doing to the league. Gambling ads, ads on jerseys, ads on the glass, digital board ads. Fanatics gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas being able to take on more cap by parking players on ltir is a tactic used by other NHL teams ( hello Tampa ) ..... It's within the rules and the only way it would stop is a rule change that enforces the cap during playoffs 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
