Depending on how you look at it
Jason Pominville Jersey Kids , the miraculous success story that is Vegas Golden Knights could either stand as a pretty good reason for 30 NHL owners to
put their general managers on notice or a tale that inspires widespread home
from fan bases across the league. Through an expansion draft structure that
essentially allowed GM George McPhee to cherry pick the 12th- or 13th-best
player off of each NHL roster, Vegas has built a foundation that has enabled
unprecedented success in their inaugural season and an enviable array of future
assets.
Just as Vegas was the team to watch last summer, they stand to be a key player in this year's off-season dealings as well with cap space and trade
assets at their disposal. But they're hardly the only club of intrigue going
into what should be a busy draft, free agent and trade season. The New York
Islanders will do all they can to keep John Tavares from flying the coop after
July 1st, while clubs like the Los Angeles Kings (Drew Doughty) and the Arizona
Coyotes (Oliver Ekman-Larsson) must be proactive in their handling of their own
2019 pending free agents. While cap-strapped teams like the Detroit Red Wings
may need to part with valuable talent for financial purposes
Tyler Johnson Jersey , others like the New Jersey Devils are on the rise and awash with cap room.
Couple that with the usual array of Stanley Cup aspirants and franchises in Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa facing huge pressure to return to contention after
disastrous 2017-18 campaigns, and you have a recipe for plenty of action. So
what's going on happen? Well, I have no idea. I do, however
Michael Del Zotto Jersey , have some thoughts on which potentially available players could help plug some big holes by switching teams and who
certain franchises may chase through trades or free agency that could take them
to the next level.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Max Pacioretty is heading from the Original Six to the Sin City.
The Vegas Golden Knights acquired the All-Star forward from the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday night for Tomas Tatar, prospect Nick Suzuki and a 2019
second-round pick.
Vegas announced the deal, which sends the captain of one of hockey’s oldest franchises to a club coming off a run to the Stanley Cup Finals in its inaugural
season.
Pacioretty was named the Canadiens captain in 2015 and has played all 626 of his NHL games with Montreal. He recently denied reports that he had requested a
trade. His name has been mentioned in trade speculation since last season’s
trade deadline.
The 29-year-old Pacioretty is entering the final season of a six-year deal that will pay him $4.5 million.
When the Canadiens visited Las Vegas in February, Pacioretty raved about the atmosphere at T-Mobile Arena.
“Best road game I’ve ever played in,” Pacioretty said following a 6-3 defeat. “When you experience it for yourself
Womens Robin Lehner Jersey , that was a treat to play, and I wish we played them more than once a year.
“It was unbelievable,” he added. “Everything was top notch. Couldn’t ask for better music, better atmosphere, better fans.”
Pacioretty is also familiar with Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant
Authentic Nick Bjugstad Jersey , who was an assistant coach under Montreal’s Michel Therrien in 2012.
“He’s a hell of a coach and a hell of a guy,” Pacioretty said in February.
Tatar had 20 goals and 14 assists last season with Vegas and Detroit. The 27-year-old was acquired ahead of the trade deadline.
Suzuki, the 13th-overall pick in the 2017 draft by the Golden Knights, had just finished playing in his second rookie game in two days at the team’s
practice facility less than an hour before the announcement.
