Their are cap circumvention rules and rules regarding acquiring players back with retention within a year but here there’s not retention. And Brady would also need a new contract. So while not confident; I think no rules are broken.

I think more so other GMs would become upset or the league steps in and slaps some wrists. This would never happen because you’d just look like idiots and other teams would become upset.

No rules broken but unwritten rules are broken and likely other relationships or bridges burned

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>Is nevada really an attractive state? I mean vegas has its perks but i wouldnt want to live there, im not sure many families would want to live there either. That being said. guys will still be available and teams will be looking to move bad contracts and every team will pay a premium to do so.

Now will they get nearly as good of a team right away. very unlikely. I think they will have a nice balance of good enough to be decent now but also building toward the future.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mondo</b></div><div>I think Nevada's greatest appeal is that it's close to California without having to pay California taxes. Same reason why a lot of affluent people make their homes in Florida.

If you're 28 and making millions of dollars, being close to Las Vegas is as perfect as it gets.</div></div>

What mondo said plus I have an aunt who lives there (moved from Canada to Vegas). She ain’t ever coming back and she’s starting her family there. She’s not a fan of the states politics/ issues but she’s got past that.

It’s a very nice place to live from personal word of mouth.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>I think you might, i mean some teams were borderline dumb with who they exposed or gave up to protect someone else. Panthers, ducks, etc. But i think there will be some names available in the expansion draft that will shock you, or players traded to protect other players etc.</div></div>

The panthers gave up two potential top6 forward who clearly became that. The ducks left the better guy open and he’s become an elite guy. The jackets chose to leave Karlsson who ended up becoming a stellar top 6 guy. They also grabbed tuch. They followed that up with fleury. Adding on top of that they have the Vegas draw and the tax draw. They were able to trade for Stone and extend, get lehner and extend. Get Patches and extend. Sign AP. Keep anyone they’ve basically wanted.

I mean the list goes on; anything Vegas has wanted they’ve gotten because they’re Vegas. Tax benefits and beautiful weather adding to you get to live in really nice areas (outside of downtown Vegas) and also be able to go to the Vegas strip/ experience.

I doubt Seattle will ever get as lucky as Vegas, nor do they have nearly the same appeal. I’m not trashing Seattle but that’s life. Vegas is arguably the most appealing location in the NHL on paper and geographically for most people. On paper you get that tax, then you got a good team and management. Then you got the location and area.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_Habs_fan</b></div><div>I think Gallant goes to Seattle to try to replicate the Vegas start</div></div>

While true I personally hope (for Seattle’s sake) to focus on future rather than present. Put together a decent team, help a few teams with covid cap, draft high in 2021, draft high again in 2022 hopefully with a couple extra picks. I think that’ll provide them with a stacked future. Grab a elite level D in 2021 and maybe a few prospects from expansion help, then grab near franchise (expectations) player in Wright, Lambert, Savoie. I think that’s the best route personally imo. Vegas was a slightly lucky and single scenario we likely won’t see again.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>Well since Gallant has been hired, only 2 external coaches have been hired (Laviolette and Ruff). Otherwise it’s just interim head coaches being good enough to keep the job. I think he (and maybe the teams) are waiting for the right fit.</div></div>

But that’s the mind boggling thing - just good enough isn’t the best obviously and it’s not how to win games/ playoffs. A multitude of teams should have Gallant behind the bench and Buffalo SPECIFICALLY should have him IMO. I think he’d be perfect. He’s bringing not only a new culture/ look but he’s bringing a winning mentality. He won’t settle for less as his last team is/ was a cup contender and I’d assume like most of he’d see the potential in Buffalo and know they need to make it work because they got some pieces and they could win games if they were handled correctly.

Bob Boughner;
Calls out Vlasic and has a talk with him; saying has been below average for a long while now - he’s challenged him to step up and prove he deserves to play. Instead of keeping Knyzhov or Simek promoted to the second pair he’s playing Vlasic - Karlsson as a “last shot” (I’d assume/ hope). Verbally saying Vlasic basically has been bad.

Everyone’s known this for a while now (that Vlasic sucks) and Vlasic being called out/ given a seemingly “final” chance for now atleast is at the least good to hear (meaning of more terrible play continues we should see Knyzhov or Simek take a full time top 4 role).

Still woulda liked to see this sooner but atleast it’s been done.

Additionally we could see Melnichuk making more NHL starts in his early career - could see this happening within the next two months or so if the Sharks begin movement internally or selling.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeyconnor97</b></div><div>toews isn't worth his contract right now, and I would say Marner's isn't as bad as people say.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DRshnuckels87</b></div><div>Kopitar and toews not worth it currently. Marner honestly is worth it.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheresAlwaysNextYear</b></div><div>This year Marner has been worth it</div></div>

Basing it on the term of the contract played out so far. That’s why I’m indifferent on Tavares (mixed overall but still great) whereas Marner (wasn’t amazing last year but still good and now even better) is about the same. Toews is the same, he and Kopi were good for a good chunk of their beginning of the 10mil but now they aren’t really. Once again not the fault of the players and it’s not their faults if they aren’t living up to the price tag. This is just taking their contract overall. Marner has time to become worth it whereas guys like Karlsson, Toews, Kopi will have a harder time to become worth it.
