I thought he was gone, but it looks like he got the money from Dadonov.
It's not that the deal's bad (seems fair both ways) but I don't see how Vegas adds it and somehow gets better. Seems like they're relying entirely on the current roster playing better (and staying healthier) under a new coach. That basically uses all their Weber LTIR $.

Agreed on terms & thought of risking no injuries. Barring any moves, I think the salary cap will once again bite them in the ass.

Or they could have gone with the '90's movie starring Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek that was based in Vegas and titled the tweet "Foo's Rush In"

We should start a pool on who the next "key piece" that they were once "Super thrilled to get" they throw away is.

Pietro
Eichel
Lehner
Stone
Theodore

I really hope it's Theodore and they send him to us.

“When I first got to Vegas, it was weird that there was, like, no accountability,” said Pacioretty. “And I’m not talking about in the team; I’m talking about like ever. You couldn’t feel pressure coming off anyone else, from the coach to the management.”

I dunno, maybe the GM & above feel comfortable there but the coaching position's been pretty cutthroat there considering they fired the guy who got an expansion team into the Cup final a year and a half later.

It's doubly confusing considering he was traded there by a GM who managed his team for 6 years and had one playoff run to show for it :noidea:
