I know I give you a hard time but Flames were a below average team with all the apparent talent that Conroy traded away. I’m happy to let the rest of the league pay these guys big money while Flames start over.

Hanifin, Andersson, Weegar, Tanev, Zadorov sure sounds good on paper.

Honestly probably one of my fears is that Conroy tries to lock up too many guys to long term deals before any track record of consistent play and winning.

"My understanding of the situation is that they currently only have $3.2 million in projected cap space for next season, which includes Alex Pietrangelo’s $8.8 million cap hit. But it’s not a big deal. Eventually, Vegas will obviously be able to put Pietrangelo back on LTIR for next season and, on July 1, the salary cap officially jumps in a big way. Even before then, the Golden Knights could move money out after the season, in May or June, depending on how long they play this spring. The point is, they will eventually be able to extend Andersson, but they can’t do it right now. That is my understanding of the CBA rules." –Pierre LeBrun on TheAthletic.com
