Makar just got 6yrs @ $9mil :pokerface:

After the Heiskanen n Makar deals, i feel like Hughes will get alil more than he would of gotten before those deals were signed. Benning has alot of work to do, signing Petey, Hughes, Garland, Dickinson. And possibly moving Holtby, Schmidt and finding a 4C and Right side D

End of shotgun Jake

Jake, don't spend the buyout $$ ... you may need it in your civil suit.

Some team will give Jake a shot. Too much untapped potential. I honestly rooted for the guy hoping he'd pan out. When he's on his game he's arguably the best player on the ice. Such a waste of talent if he doesn't sort his shit out

No team in the NHL will take him given his current civil situation.

He best go to the KHL where he can be friends with Leipsic.

What a waste of talent, the skill was there but it was no one's fault but his own.

Never say never. Evander Kane with his issues still has a job. Patrick Kane after his Taxi incident and his rape case still played. Granted those 2 players gave on ice results. Like I said if he sorts his shit and gets his act together someone will give him a shot

The problem is, everyone knows he’s too dumb to ever reach his full potential. He’s not the type of player that just has to go shoot pucks in his garage to take his game to the next level. He’s likely already peaked

So you’re signing a player you know is going to be a bottom 6 forward who is also a defensive liability

There's no way anyone signs him this season.

Bergevin should sign him as a mentor for Mailloux

:lawl:

Looking at the kraken. How they could’ve picked up Dillon who was traded for 2 x 2nd rounders or Jake bean 1x 2nd rounder. I wonder if Seattle got blackballed by the rest of the gms after Vegas draft.

Vegas trades Fleury to the Blackhawks.

I guess the Golden Knights couldn't trust Fleury anymore in the playoffs especially with the puck mishandling in the West Final against the Habs? LUL

^ Woe ... where is the respect for a vet? His salary is a bit on the heavy side ... $6M. If Fleury retires instead of going to Chicago ... there must be recapture penalty for Vegas, right?

Fleury traded to Blackhawks

Schmidt rejects trade to Jets. How weird it would feel in the locker room come the start of the season with his teammates knowing he doesn't want to be there


Also sounds like Luke Schenn coming back for a 2nd stint. Reported 2 yr deal

^ JB gave Schmidt a NMC list of teams? Brilliant!

Interesting. :considered:

Elliotte Friedman
@FriedgeHNIC
One thing to watch here: there were rumblings Marc-Andre Fleury might choose to retire if traded from Vegas — for family reasons. Not certain how it will all play out

What’s with the Schmidt situation like you sign this deal and instantly want out? Guy seems like a clown

Sounds like Canucks are going to buyout Holtby.

Garland sounds like he'll get a 4.95 million for 5 years.

I'm down for both of these. hahaha

Didn't Schmidt sign his contract with Vegas prior to being traded here? His NMC would be given to him from Vegas

Holtby on waivers for buyout confirmed

I think aqualini finally said enough floundering snd we have to get fans engaged again or else the tail spin would continue.

Not to say these signings will push us over the top but it’s a start

Another cap recapture next year and a Petey offer sheet incoming..

So much agree, obviously we don’t know what’s happening in the background but everything we can see shows this guy is a fuckin 2 faced flake

People forget real fast about his “I’m not guilty!” PED scandal and playing in Switzerland for awhile because of it too… seems like a selfish bitch
