Vegas is going to need to get to the salary cap. I have a feeling Kane and Rick Nash are going to be playing for Vegas come 2017/18 season.
If a trade goes down, this will all but confirm that ownership is running the team and not the management group in place. It would run contradictory to everything Linden and Benning have been saying in terms of building the team. Guess they subscribe to the the no belief that there is no such thing as bad publicity.

Fwiw Tanbir from Surrey (the fan who is banging the drum on this deal) is saying he will delete his Twitter account if this deal doesn't go down.

@JoshSouthcombe I'm deleting account if it doesn't happen
