So Minny traded Tuch to Vegas to make sure they selected Huala in the expansion draft.
Ouch. Quite the backfire.

A couple of those where teams thought they were being sneaky and taking advantage of an expansion team.
Columbus sent their 1st (24th overall), 2019 2nd, and the David Clarkson contract so that Vegas would pick William Karlsson and not Josh Anderson or Korpisalo.

Flames should take many pages from the Vegas Knights playbook - score at will and give 100% effort in all zones. It's so awesome to watch them play.

Yup, and Florida did the same with Smith and Marchessault.
Gotta think Seattle isn't going to get those type of deals.

From the shot of him on the bench he doesn’t look like he wants in.

Score on more than half their shots?

Never underestimate cheap ownership groups looking to rid themselves of certain contracts. It'll happen again, imo.

How do teams make these kind of evaluation errors? Is it just a flukey thing with VGK? Are there more goals on any roster if players get the ice time or play a certain style?
It's unbelievable how many guys exploded for offence on VGK compared to career averages before.

No, teams need to just let them have one player and not give up a stupid haul(a) for nothing.

Play an aggressive style that pressures all over the ice and creates turnovers. Transition immediately to offence off those turnovers and attack down the middle. Don't dump the puck every time.

I think a tonne of it has to do with how their season started. It was an incredibly emotional time right after the LV tragedy which I think made a huge difference for the Knights in how they all bought in early.
They are a good team, but I still think they take a step back next year.

Yeah they are just on one of those rolls... everything they touch goes in the net. They got outshot badly and are up 4-0
