I agree. I admittedly haven't watched a ton of VGK/MIN, but the parts I have I'm just not impressed with Vegas, for all of the talent in that lineup- they've been very underwhelming. Maybe just the style of play of minnesota.
The other side of it is if or when Ekholm gets back. Somebody made a good point earlier he's not even skating yet, so perhaps he's done for year.
If not, that's a big improvement for Edmonton on defence, were he to come back. He is only one guy though and the rest are garbage, except for cross eye's goals, which don't make up for his atom level defense.
