The NHL salary cap is a joke with so many loopholes. Treliving is not smart enough to manage it

Let's see how many cups Vegas wins before crowning them.

You think they are just going to drop Eichel in game one of the playoffs and be off and running? Vegas is not Tampa of the last two seasons. Not even close. Will be a stretch for Vegas to make the playoffs at all.

Is Toronto a bottom feeder with Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, Reilly, and Muzzin? No, but it looks scarier than what Vegas is running up front, and they aren't exactly knocking on the door of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Is Vegas going to be too top heavy, too thin and a worse team with Eichel added?
What exactly is the point you're trying to make?

Or lost all their depth

Any of you chest thumpers will to bet on Vegas winning a cup in the next 3 seasons?

$1000 says they don't

They don’t need to be off and running this year.

They secured a top-5 centre who just turned 25.

They very likely just kicked open a window that’s six or seven years.

Let's see your cap compliant Knights roster....you keep saying Eichel added

MAF out
Tuch out
Krebs out
Over 10M more out to come

Drop Eichel in for game one of the playoffs? Doubt it...they probably won't make it

They are bad because they lost a lot of depth and then lost their best forward.

And you all are missing my point.

Feels like there should be a new poll on this at some point (probably 0.086 seconds after our next regulation loss). 8.5 months is a long time and I bet some of the 800+ respondents would vote differently the next time a poll like this is raised.

That window is spring-loaded and will slam shut on their foot as soon as they have to get under next season's cap. The players now on their roster will never play together as a team, unless they Kucherov their way to keep them together for this year's playoffs.

A trade they’d make all over again for two titles.

I'm sure their management knows they have to work within the cap. You're not the first to discover that.

Remains to be seen....very likely? No

Some of their contracts don't seem to be aging well. They could just as easily be SJ 2.0

Again, not my point, but you be you.

There are a lot of people who think that all their injured players can return without bodies going out. Those people obviously don't know the team has to work within the cap.

Yet you keep saying adding Eichel like they aren't subtracting 4+ major pieces

MAF has been the biggest reason for their success so far as a franchise.

Such a bad take.

Monahan isn't going to have any trouble getting another NHL contract as long as his health holds up.

He has 4 points in 9 games ... 40 point players aren't on PTOs.

Add in the nine games are after major surgery and he's being walked back slowly and you likely have those numbers improve.

The lynch mob on Monahan is silly.

What do you mean I keep adding Eichel?
Vegas added Eichel, you know in the trade today??

It goes without saying they have to fit him into the cap and make moves to do so. Every move in the NHL needs to do this, it shouldn't need to be explained to you.

What I said to be exact is "Vegas likely has both now (being elite talent and depth).
No where did I say their team will be exactly as is, you made that up on your own.

I believe that they will still have a deep team after they're all said and done and finish their cap correction. You're welcome to disagree, no need to resort to your silly arguments with made up dialogues.

They think Vegas can make the playoffs with their current roster...which is unlikely

From the time the Sharks acquired 26 year old Joe Thornton, they won 16 playoff rounds. In total, they have 19 playoff rounds won this century.

They went to the Conference Finals five times, made one finals appearance.

It doesn’t matter that they didn’t cash one in - that sort of sustained success is unheard of.

This is hard. You wouldn’t take San Jose 2.0 for the next 15 years?

You were talking about their past success and now adding Eichel. Past success is irrelevant it's a different team. They won't have any depth. Look at the roster!
