I think they will milk LTIR the whole way.
Every year, we hear about players playing injured during the season just to make the playoffs, when they justifiably could have been forced to rest. Vegas will be in the position to do this for their best players, some of which are almost certainly playing injured (Patches and Stone for example seems like always has something going on).
A lot of these guys are on big contracts and have nothing to prove. I am sure they would welcome a chance to go into the playoffs fresh and healthy for a chance to win it all.
