Vegas playing with house money on Eichel's surgery and recovery?
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Tuch's breakaways were Canuck killers. Glad to see him going east. He has a long, cheap contract for what he brings. Nice pick up for Buffalo once he's healthy. Eichel's a monster if he fully recovers, but Vegas has a lot of pricy contracts now. Even with him, their depth should suffer and they've traded away a lot of prospects, so cheap quality fill-ins might be hard to find to give quality depth. They might become as top heavy as the Oilers. They'll have better players, but we'll see if they are a better team.

Of course, if Eichel never recovers, they're toast. :twisted:

Vegas didn't really give up that much for an elite center in his prime when you really break it down. A decent winger, a future 2C and a mid to late first.

The discount must be due to the injury and recovery

They should have kicked something in.

Then they would have won the deal for sure.

You know who I don't like?

Any of those Oiler twats!

I especially despise that smug, holier than thou Dave Tippett motherfucker.

Didn't like him as a player.

Didn't like him as a Stars or Coyotes coach.

Don't like him now.
This is good old fashioned hockey hate.
I can respect this.

It's probably for the better. I was luke warm to the trade at best, so I'm not upset that we didn't get him.

Saw that, but perhaps it should have been? Tkachuk's $9,000,000 qualifying offer would have been nice for the Flames to unload if a healthy $10,000,000 Eichel was the return.

I still think Buffalo should have squeezed out one of Whitecloud or Hague out of Vegas instead of the 2nd round pick. Tuch, Krebs, Whitecloud/Hague and a 1st is a better return for a top ten pivot in the game if he’s heathy.
