Phil Kessel has signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with Vegas Golden Knights.

Looks like VGK took my advice

Also was on the ball as I said one of VGK, AVS or Flames were gonna go get him

Now all the big names are gone

So were moving on to depth

Expect Rodrigues, Milano, Sprong, etc to be signed soon along with Subban and De-Haan

Vegas should trade Hague to the isles for Varlamov

In case you're wondering, Kessel would be on track to break Yandle's record for most consecutive games played on Oct. 24 when the Golden Knights host the Toronto Maple Leafs. https://t.co/dsm7qBn39P

Im starting to wonder if VGK is working out a deal for Reimer

As rn SJS have 3 NHL goaltenders making over a mill

Kahkonen
Hill
Reimer

And one is gonna have to be moved and Reimer to me makes the most sense.

Still see VGK adding as I believe they still got what 10mill to spend

Wouldnt be surprised if we see one of Rodrigues or Milano sign then maybe to add some blue line insurance they sign De-Haan

Also expect a Reimer or Hill trade

I just can't see San Jose doing Vegas any favors; at least not directly. Not sure why they haven't taken a shot at Corey Schneider. He looked good in AHL duty last year; at least a tandem between him and Logan Thompson gets them to the trade deadline.

Florida could really use de Haan but they are stuck over the cap without a way out right now.

Agreed,dont got money to do it and Hornqvist's M-NTC and cap hit presents a problem

As then Zito will have given up another asset in his desperation

Zito might have done an oppsey here

Wont be a favor but I dont see a them carrying 3 NHL goalies the entire season as thats very rare today. So in a sense neither is in a strong position in the trade

Yep; but they have no choice really; especially when Duclair is healthy. Might as well get it over with now rather than wait until mid season.

I half wondered if they would be able to unload Bobrovsky to Vegas with retention but not even Vegas can be that crazy with the cap (or could they?).

I dont see VGK wanting to carry Bob's deal as remember that LTIR space aint permeant and Lehner is coming back

Nope as for one Sandin is younger and second both are very similar players

TOR adds lul yeah right

In general Sandin doesnt suffer 2 knee injuries probs ends with a significantly higher total than Durzi. Plus in terms of defense Sandin is the better guy. Durzi took to many penalties for his own good and that will just cause issues for us which is why I dont think its a good idea to do it. Also Niemela is coming

Sandins game in Game 6 of the 1st round in 2021 force me to disagree

Agreed,dont got money to do it and Hornqvist's M-NTC and cap hit presents a problem

As then Zito will have given up another asset in his desperation

Zito might have done an oppsey here

Not getting into a drunk driving debate, but the simple solution to not drink and drive, period. End of debate.
