Vegas also didn’t use all the space available. They added Quick, Blueger, and Barbashev, a total of 6.5m of cap according to capfriendly. Quick hasn’t played at all, and Blueger only played last series with Dallas. Barbashev is the lone standout and has been excellent. That said, it wasn’t a great use of LTIR shenanigans with this trio.

I'm cheering for Vegas in this series and was thrilled they took out the Oilers
I do think the NHL needs to change though, cap should apply in the playoffs. They could tweak it so teams are still able to ice a full squad.
It just happens too often where a top end player just happens to be ready to go game one after being injured for months
