Sabres have reportedly signed Rasmus Dahlin to a monster deal

 

Don't mega deals to defensive guys often go bad?

Sharks are on line 1.  Subban is on line 2.  

Oh, last minute call from Jones on line 3.

Dahlin is looking like a #1 now. He'll probably be captain when Okposo leaves. Considering all the other D contracts it's good value

Weber, Suter and a couple others I'm forgetting can't even get through.

1 game before hookers, blow and bud light for everyone in Vegas.

How long can you keep Winnipeg and Calgary viable if players don't want to play there?

Winnipeg is weird.  They are on the cusp on being regulars in the playoffs.  Just one or two players.  And then they implode.  Same with Calgary, come to think of it.

Looks like a little bit of a haircut to get the deal done.

Isn't that the guy everyone has been saying is Bettman's favorite? More of the typical NHL top guys pulling crap?

Another good information  article on how well Vegas was able to see and then capitalize on other organizations decision making problems during the expansion draft period. It wasn't just the set up of the draft that made them succeed. They nailed it as an organization on evaluating talent. They deserve to be where they are.

Giving away Theodore to protect Manson - typical Bob/ Randy collaboration. 'Gotta have somebody who hits people'.

Might as well shut down Las Vegas Blvd right now.  It's 20 minutes away from party time.

Grats @Vegas Halo Fan.  Please use the hookers, blow, and bud light in moderation.  And don't burn it all down before my next vacation.

For everything that was said about the superior Eastern Conference, well...

I wonder what McDavid is thinking right now. Maybe Edmonton should be worried.

Eichel to Buffalo.

@Vegas Halo FanAlso, glad the Knights were the first to bring Vegas a championship.  They were Vegas born.  Not like they had any competition from the A's or Raiders.

[deepdrive]

So, this is why Bettman likes Vegas so much. They didn't boo him.

Bettman said that the city knows how to throw a party. I assume that he was talking about the crowd outside T-Mobile. That was only the warmup.

Alec Martinez also, I believe. Chandler Stephenson hoisted the cup on the same ice before, as a member of the Washington Capitals.

Thanks very much. Hookers aren't legal in Clark County, so I would have to drive to Nye to partake, but I appreciate the thought.

Owner Tom Foley said from the beginning that his goal was to win the Cup in six years. This is the sixth year.

I noticed you didn't include blow.
