Not exactly news, but Vegas doesn’t play again until Wednesday and does have some time to evaluate everything they’ve seen so far from their forwards.
I remember in Marek’s interview with Lawless, Lawless made it sound like Vegas didn’t want to offer Krebs or Hague. Hence, why Vegas was “not close at all”.

They cannot allow the Knights to waltz in at the 11th hour and steal Jack Eichel because they weren’t comfortable beating an offer centred around the 17th overall pick in 2019.
Don’t lose sight of this either - if the Knights get Eichel now, he is going to extend with them when his deal expires.
Even if Calgary only ends up buying 5 years of Eichel as a Flame, it’s worth it to prevent 12 years of Eichel as a Golden Knight.
