That Vegas team is getting older, have spent all their draft capital/assets, and has cap issues.
And the core is getting old.
Pacioretty - 32 - 2 years left
Pietrangelo - 31 - 6 years left
Martinez - 34 - 3 years left
Dadonov - 32 - 2 years left
Marchessault - 30 - 3 years left
Stone - 29 - 6 years left
Karlsson - 28 - 6 years left
Lehner - 30 - 4 years left
Tuch, Whitecloud, Krebs, Hague and Theodore are really their only key pieces under 26. If they move 2-3 of those guys to get Eichel then they really are in a mode where they have to win now.

Thing is aren’t the Flames supposed to be in the same spot? They are 100% in win now mode and while there is risk I do not see another path to adding a player this elite.
Vegas has won 7 playoff rounds in 4 years this move makes them so powerful when healthy.
I am sick of being a runner up on every big move. Treliving overvalues his assets and has been unable to make a legit trade in over 3 years. Nothing is finalized yet and maybe the Flames swoop in here but I doubt it. This team hasn’t been near good enough to just run it back every year. Took 3 years too long to get Sutter and wasted years of the core’s prime with trash coaches.
Yup I am ready for a new GM. Come on Brad I am craving some crow make the deal happen
