Knights UPD: Pietrangelo has not made a decision yet

Can confirm Alex Pietrangelo and #Vegasborn are indeed working towards completing a contract.

Despite all the reports about Alex Pietrangelo, I can confirm that he hasn’t made a decision and I don’t expect there will be one tonight

Hopefully all the players they will have to move will actually hurt them

already lost their 2nd line center

and please avoid the "shrewd Vegas" comments you only make yourself look stupid

Players are begging to play there, taxes, geography...Its the easiest GM job in the league

It's going to hurt both now and later. I can see teams saying "Yeah, we'll take Martinez... but also your 1st"


Edit - What's shrewd about this? Pietro is good, but it's not putting them over the top. They can't score. Pietrangelo isn't fixing that. He's more wasted cap-space to keep a window open another year or two before the cap problems crumble their depth.

Crazy. If they can sign Pietrangelo with the amount of cap they have, surely we work something out with Hall as well(that's if he wants to come here).

Wow. The Knights get what they want. Brilliant move by the NHL to be the first pro sports team in this city. Seems to be a place players want to play.

I think this will change Vegas's identity completely. They go from a team that sent waves of 2nd lines at you for the entire game, to a regular strong team that can be exploited through their 3rd and 4th line and their 2nd and 3rd pairing. I actually found their Stanley cup finals team as a really different kind of threat...

Rumours about the Canucks already being on stand by for this are out there. I think it was Wyshinski that said it.

Said it was a bad contract (Roussell was the name he used) for Schmidt and their 1st. It opens up enough dollars in theory for Pietrangelo.

Does it?

CapFriendly has them at 21 players, $1.876M in cap space.

Schmidt's $5.95M out for Roussel's $3M only gives them $4.826M.

Greg Wyshinski is also an idiot, so yeah.

My Canuckle head boys are very excited and are convinced that Benning will fleece the Knights. Martinez + 1st for a 4th is the deal they're suggesting. Good luck!

At least now it will be harder to sign any big ticket player they want.

The rest of the GMs need to band together against these guys though. Don't take their scraps to let them off the hook!
