Look... I get it

If I was McPhee & other GMs, I'd have done the same thing
But I'm still p!ssed we didn't improve the defense today
How could anyone be anything but disappointed
EVERY NHL expert said there was gonna be TONS of movement,
and there was barely any

How is that anything but lame?

F#ck McPhee
And fine... F#ck the NHL too

If the NHL really wanted Vegas to be good right away,
they wouldn't have let teams make deals to keep their good players

And yeah, I know I'm overreacting
But this does suck
No denying that sir

We did improve and only gave up a 3rd rounder, he's 1 for 1 as of now. Calm down.

But again, the only reason today had any potential at all is because of Vegas in the first place. No Vegas, no today's (non)drama.

As of right now,
The dude is a 3rd pair defenseman

We don't get better unless he improves

Maybe he will
Maybe he won't

I hope he does, but right now we don't know

Yet to be determined imo
I like his upside,
but he crashed & burned hard this year

I'm hopeful he turns into something

But idk how anyone can say we improved for sure?

We got a guy who was a healthy scratch in Montreal's last game of the playoffs

Can he be good? Maybe
Is he good right now? Obviously he's got work to do

Every trade deadine is always a let down. Every draft is always a let down. Every July 1 is always a let down.

How can we "go after Neal?"

There's a trade freeze, so we can't make a deal with Nashville now

That's fair, you're right
But all the NHL experts were predicting tons of movement

I'm not really as upset as it sounds
It's just disappointing
And gives me a reason to hate the new Vegas team

Of course it COULD have been, but we've seen time and time again that NHL GMs don't go crazy with moves.

It's once again a failure of unrealistic expectations. Teams really, really don't want to lose top 4 defensemen as seen in the Hall trade. Those deals weren't out there today, and nor should they be, because that was a stupid move by Edmonton.

Even if true, it pushes Gorges down to 7D. That's a huge win

Gorges.

Vegas takes Falk or Carrier and a 5th to avoid Ulmark

All drama aside...

I am nervous that any top4 guys are gonna get moved now

We might have to just pick the best guy at 8 and wait for him to develop

I don't think that's unrealistic, seeing as how he had over 25 points and a + rating. Obviously Price helps the latter but still

He had a pretty rough season ending with him as a healthy scratch in theor last playoff game

I'm just not taking it as a certainty that he'll be good
Although I'm obviously hoping he will be
