But if I'm any other GM around the league I wait until the offseason to pull a trigger on a Marchessault or Karlsson bargain bin because why would I give a freebies team like Vegas more help... let's see how you tap dance around the return of your savior without someone taking salary off your payroll.
They didn't blow their whole leg off, but they definitely shot themselves in the foot. If that makes any sense.

Makes the Dadonov signing even stranger.
I'm sure it's been mentioned, but Vegas will eventually run into personnel problems throwing away players they've committed to, to always chase the next big thing to come onto the market.
