Vegas played a man short this season. They are in the conference finals. No excuses.

You do realize that if that a player gets injuried that they would have to play a man short for more than just the rest of the next game. That's why team cap goes to a 23 man roster. Maybe get away with 22. 21 stretching it. You still 388K and change short from that.

Plus no realistic discussion about how he got out from under all the dead money.

Just wow.

I mean I was actually the best goalie around, no doubts. I was scouted and recruited before I was even 14 years old. We won games where we were outshot 50-15 but that was rare. Given an elite Dman, my teams were unstoppable.

My alternate goalie was Steve Shields. He had a solid career. I know what an elite goalie can do, but having a stud Dman mitigates much of that.

Chris Gordon? ( I looked up Shieds in hockey db)

Are you saying Vegas ran with a 22 man roster, or played with 19 players each game?

EA sports fantasy.

Phil Kessel probably brings a first round pick alone if Coyotes retain a bit I bet. Cups, experience, expiring contract.

Dvorak is the teams #1 centre. He also is probably worth a 2nd plus prospects.

Vegas played with 19 guys a couple times this season. Either a D or F short.

we played this game with Lefty not so long ago. Ex-junior players that came close but ultimately decided against continuing to the NHL still have an internet presence. Names show up on roster lists from years past, connections to known NHL players, etc.

Kind of fun sleuthing.

Honest question for lordy

Would you rather Beagle 4 years at 3 million aav

Or

Perry + Staal at a combined 2.75aav for 1 year

Since we are talking about not having 975k 4th line players

Giving long term deals (4+ years) to 4th line players seems silly to me.

I'd like a go at this game. Can I play? What's the rules.

Yeah I remember that. What was the consensus on Lefty’s former glory?

That's a bottom 6 I could get behind.

Edit: not great word choices there.
