Winning is everything, and they know top players drive success. So they’re in on the best player available, always. Yeah, the market makes them attractive to UFAs, but in trades? If a top tier player becomes available - Vegas is in on it and they generally outbid the others. They don’t follow the traditional passive/risk-averse approach that almost everyone else does. I think it’s great, and I wish more teams in the league would stop being so damn scared of transactions.

Easier to trade for players when you know they will extend with you at a reasonable rate. Stone, Hanifin, apparently Ras
Stone would have been a Flame if he was that eager to sign here
