a sad waste of 10 years of our lives but its pretty funny how things are going here
we went all in to guarantee a superstar and mortgaged literally everything else and never were able to put a competent team around him, and it flamed out miserably
now we've accumulated a ton of mid/upper-mid tier prospects but probably no superstar. - robz228
Right but if they send Murray and Krebs down then they'll be under it - Stripes77
I don't see how they send Krebs down. They need to make it work where he's up here. They got a couple of shiny new toys for Eichel and want them on the ice as soon as possible to sort of "save face". I know Tuch is out, but I seriously don't see how they can't ice a lineup without Krebs in it as soon as possible. Otherwise, what do we have to show for shipping out JE ?
Also, forgive my ignorance...when do we expect to see Tuch in our lineup ? Any ideas ?
So if the Knights 2022 1st round pick is top-10 protected and it does fall in the top 10, does Buffalo automatically get their 2023 first round pick with no conditions?

Krebs counts fully against the cap no matter where he is, doesn't he, since he's sub-1M (and "hiding" salaries in the minors only saves a max of 1M?) - stashu

No
Krebs doesn’t count against our Cap if he’s sent to Rochester

His surgery in July was supposed to be about a 6-month recovery, which gets him to January-February at the earliest. Assuming all goes well for both, Vegas and Buffalo should see Tuch and Eichel return to their lineups around the same time.

Per hockey-reference, Vegas GM said Tuch is out til January
