Vegas is having a lot of fun circumventing the salary cap. This Hertl deal is a complete mind blower. I kind of envy their management's willingness to find creative ways to help their team, though. Those guys are doing some creative thinking.
Howdy all. Not sure if best place to ask - mods please correct me if not the case
An en route to climate pledge to watch the kraken v Jets.
Anything around the rink for food? Beers? My first time to climate pledge but have been to Seattle before (live near the border)
Cheers

Yeah, it’s not looking good. I guess the consolation is the pipeline of young talent on ELC’s that’ll be coming up over the next couple of years.I wasn't expecting the Blues to clobber the Bruins in Boston. Bad news for our playoff hopes, such as they are.
And it gets worse as LA won, too. The margin is now ten points between us and them, and we have St Louis and Minnesota in front of us.
I'd like to see a mix of deserving veterans and kids from Coachella whose entry level games aren't a concern going forward (i.e. maybe not Wright) brought up for a cup of coffee and a taste of the big time. Shut down Dunn, rest the guys who are playing hurt, and then integrate the Firebirds' crew into the mix. Let the chips fall way they may. Our points total might go down but in a fairly honourable way and the newbies couldn't help but make the team more fun to watch than what we have been enduring lately.Four game skid.
Is it time to come to grips with going the other way and shooting for draft position instead? A lot can happen in 16 games but what I've seen lately doesn't spell a successful playoff outing here. And Dunn should certainly not be rushed back for this.
Sixteen games left and six of them are against West teams that are behind us in the standings. Calgary has passed the Kraken and if this keeps up Arizona could too.
Not gonna lie i'm pretty checked out now with the play offs realistically done. Wouldn't mind some of the Coachella players getting a chance now until the end of the season for the experience. Worst/base case you improve your draft position if we lose some more games.Four game skid.

We are 11 points of the 2nd WC spot with 15 games to play. I don't think playoffs are realistic either.Not gonna lie i'm pretty checked out now with the play offs realistically done.

At this point just rest anyone banged up. Dunn, Schwartz, Oleksiak. Would even try Wright on the wing for a bit just for more NHL reps.We are 11 points of the 2nd WC spot with 15 games to play. I don't think playoffs are realistic either.
I am all for bringing up Coachella players, but who do you healthy scratch? Schultz for Evans makes sense. But other than that, I am not sure. I would rather not bring Wright up because throwing him in at the tail end of a losing season makes little sense. I would rather let him play in Coachella and make a playoff run.
I see us picking in the 9-12 range.
