Biff Tannen Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Just now, stawns said: What does? Are you assuming that stone is faking a lacerated spleen? But Vegas are already using Stone's LTIR money and Hertl is injured so can't really argue he's a replacement in the short term. Definitely smells like cap circumvention, if Hertl and Stone both 'recover' for the playoffs it'll look even worse. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said above, playoffs likely start around April 25th. He'll be back for Round 1 if his healing is in line with the scientific study. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas is being exposed now Hertl, can go hurtle himself over a cliff. Couture ... who's left? That's a bad team over there. At least they were wise enough to embrace the tank so can respect that.

coolboarder Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Quickly, find a player on LTIR and get him. NHL needs to remove the cap, seriously. I hate the cap and teams find a way to go and circumvent the cap. Either, move up the trade deadlines to January or remove the cap altogether and keep the deadlines around this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honkin Hronek Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Stone - Eichel - Barbashev Hertl - Karlsson - Mantha Stephensen - Roy - Amadio Cotter - Howden - Carrier Hanifin - Pietrangelo McNabb - Theodore Martinez - Whitecloud Hill Thompson Uh oh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Nice pickup and very much a Vegas-type player, they obviously go for heavy forwards, but not sure what they'll do next season. Surely they'll let March and McNabb go and replace them with Hertl and Hanifin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-68 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) Although it is very unlikely that Vegas misses the playoffs, they do play the Canucks twice (book those as losses for Vegas for the sake of argument) and Kraken twice. Should Seattle win those two games and goes on a bit of a heater, Vegas is in trouble. However, as noted earlier, unlikely but would be HILARIOUS if actually happened whereby Captain LTIR swings and misses.

Ghostsof1915 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I'm going to see what next years pricing is. But I'm pretty sure I'm going to subscribe to the WHL next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower102 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I don't mind the way they do this, AS LONG AS.... the league is actually confirming that players aren't healthy before the playoffs but lingering on the LTIR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Good return for the Sharks. Its great for Vegas in the short term, but long term they are taking on alot of risk with Hertl's contract. 30 years old & still 6 years remaining after this season.

Kylecanuck Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 17 minutes ago, HKSR said: Ahh... that makes sense. Grab him while he's on LTIR. Activate him and Stone for the playoffs. Win another Cup. I might just switch and watch another sport soon. This is absolutely ridiculous. Don’t switch to basketball or baseball, the NBA is a diva league of super teams. And the MLB is allowing contracts to be circumvented for over ten years…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
