Goes all in at the trade deadline while also circumventing the cap and gets eliminated in the first round.

If there is proof of karma, then this is it, 100%

[u/ThorlinLurch → u/GiraffeSubstantial92]

Not all of us can face LA corpses in the first round.

[u/GiraffeSubstantial92 → u/ThorlinLurch]

Funny thing is Vegas actually would have if they didn't start sucking so bad near the end of the regular season lmao

[u/XAfricaSaltX → u/ThorlinLurch]

Cheated + 2-0 lead at home and lost

Also Lehkonen still owns you

[u/Deus-Vultis → u/XAfricaSaltX]

Good stick Lehky!

Hopefully this kneecaps any following title charges

It’ll spleencap it

[u/SpezGarblesMyGooch → u/Finrad-Felagund]

Did someone say kneecaps?

Next year they gotta lose a lot of guys off that roster, and they have zero prospect pool. Honestly, they will be ass in like 2-3 years. I expect a pretty big fall off even next season. Mantha was invisible and non-factor, and Hertl also was just ok.

[u/BKXeno → u/Frozenpucks]

Hertl's just not a very good player.

Eichel is an absolute stud, though.

[u/Frozenpucks → u/BKXeno]

Eichel is still very good, but he’s not the ultimate game breaker either. Once stone retires in a year or two that team is in trouble.

[u/iggyfenton → u/[deleted]]

Rooting for them to fall apart next season for our unprotected 1st.

[u/kid_drew → u/[deleted]]

I keep waiting for their lack of draft picks to bite them in the ass. It’s coming one of these days right?

[u/SherLocK-55 → u/[deleted]]

You really do love to see it, and look around, not a VGK flair in sight. Fucking beautiful.

[u/HFhutz → u/[deleted]]

I don’t… I want to see teams be encouraged to make more bold trades not less.

[u/SmoothPinecone → u/[deleted]]

What did they do to go all in this year? I don't think they spent assets on short term rentals, which rentals did they go all in on?

[u/ThorlinLurch → u/[deleted]]

Eliminated to the future Stanley cup champs. Calling it.

[u/andrewh_91 → u/[deleted]]

All in at the deadline for Hertl who is signed long term and Hanifin who signed an 8 yr deal w VGK 🤷
