[Habsy]

LTIR money

Whose their backup again?

 

[MindzEye]

Big goalie + hip surgery = bye felicia

 

[hockeylover]

Yikes. That's a big loss.

Their backup is Broissant.

 

[LeafGm]

Yeah, that’s it for Lehner.

Doubt we’ll ever see him back in the NHL playing at a high level again.

And man, does that ever leave Vegas in a tough spot in net. Lucky for them that the West sucks.

 

[Habsy]

MAF waving saying how u doing?

 

[zeke]

Yikes. That's a big loss.

Their backup is Broissant.

sounds delicious.

 

[JackBurton]

Attendance will plummet in those rebuilding years in Vegas.

 

[GEEMAN]

Eichel will retire with 0 playoff games.

Will demand a trade midseason

 

[LeafGm]

Attendance will plummet in those rebuilding years in Vegas.

I’m eagerly looking forward to seeing what those crowds and that fanbase looks like after a year or two of truly expansion-caliber seasons.

 

[JackBurton]

She's so hilarious.

 

[CH1]

Their backup is Broissant.

Mmmmmmm

(Apologies: I see zeke beat me to it)

 

[hockeylover]

My bad, I see on Twitter they also have Michael Hutchinson!!

 

[MindzEye]

The west is junk, Vegas still might make the playoffs.

 

[MindzEye]

Also, Logan Thompson might be actually good and Thompson-Broissoit might be average or better as a tandem

 

[JackBurton]

The west is junk, Vegas still might make the playoffs.

I think they miss. That's a shitty team now

 

[MindzEye]

Are they though? I mean, you haven't been overly objective about them since before Vegas got the team.

Stephenson-Eichel-Stone
Marchy-Karlsson-Smith

Shea-AP
McNabb

Isn't a bad group compared to the other bubble teams in the west. Remember, they're competing with Nashville, Dallas, Vancouver, Winnipeg for the last few playoff spots, not Washington, Pittsburgh, Boston.

The only losses from last year's teams are half the season of MaxPac, and 44 games of .907 Lehner. Those are hardly insurmountable losses. Really depends on whether or not Eichel returns as Eichel, or broken Eichel and how the goaltending holds up.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

They seem pretty bubblicious to me.

 

[Habsy]

Older players with injury history, questionable goaltending and secondary scoring. I don't think they're very good. Could they squeak in? Sure the west sucks but I don't see it happening, that's such a shit franchise.

 

[MindzEye]

After a strong start, they've lost the fuck out of the plot the last few years with their cap and personnel management. They're still living off of a legitimately historic performance at the expansion draft table. The whole thing was genius, even if it looks to have been a fluke in retrospect. But did they ever fuck the rest of the league up the ass in their first opportunity.
