"Vegas may have as may as 15 deals ready to go...some say around six...there is now a growing conscensus that is probably more like a dozen for sure.. I will be reporting back bright and early tomorrow as the big day progresses."

Yay or nay?

Would you do this trade with LV? Reinhart to LV And LV agrees to take Moulsen. In return we get a stud winger like James Neal and a stud dman like methot or Dumba? Fills 2 big holes for us and Reinhart is more valuable to LV as a 1c than a 3c with us.

I guess I'm in the minority, I don't want to trade Reinhart. Play him on Eichel's wing. I would trade the 8th pick for Dumba/Manson

Here we go again...

Friedman notes that if Hossa were to officially retire, the Blackhawks would be levied cap recapture penalties on the heavily front-loaded contract they brokered with the veteran forward in 2009. This, of course, would be devastating for a franchise constantly at odds with the NHL’s salary parameters.

But if Hossa were to agree to be placed on long-term injury reserve each season until that deal expires, his cost wouldn’t count against the salary cap and the transaction would in turn alleviate the unrelenting financial pressure on management.

It had better not as that would clearly be cap circumvention, then again, Pronger worked for the league while being paid by a team.

So Reinhart for Neal & Dumba, plus we get rid of Moulson...
yeah, I'd do that in a heartbeat
I think we all would

Although I'd rather have Aberg than Neal bc of the age
Aberg is only 23, looked pretty good in the playoffs & scored at a pace of over 40goals in the AHL last year
I think he's gonna be a good one

Vegas and Ducks deal is supposedly Vegas agrees to take Clayton Stoner instead of Vatanen/Manson, and in return for thst, they'll also get Shea Theodore, per Bob McKenzie.

If true, good job Vegas.

On a team that has Fowler and Lindholm as LHD in top 4 roles you would rather expose 2 RHD that are most likely in top 4 roles moving forward ? Yea Theodore is a tough pill to swallow but a #5/6 D-Man would be easier to replace then losing one of the aforementioned

What time does Vegas team get announced. So we get get the BS over with.

I thought I would enjoy this, but the NHL again somehow botched something.
All these rumored deals are making this dumb, IMO.

Team submitted by 10 AM. I'm sure leaks will expose the whole roster within a couple hours of that.
