    It's too bad the rest of the league doesn't just lay down for St.Louis and just battle to the end against Vegas.

    I would love nothing better than to see Vegas miss the playoffs this year.

    I looked at cap friendly for Vegas next year. They have under 2 million left with 10 forwards 7 defenseman and 3 goalies under contract for next year. 

    That leaves moving a goalie so they can sign 2 forwards. 

    I was hoping the same thing.
    Not that I like the Blues much, But seeing VGK continue their slump could be fun. :P

    I agree. I was driving back home from work and was listening media about different nails in the Wild's coffin. Mainly they were talking the same things as we discussed here. What was interesting that they mentioned that some players playing exclusively for the contract during their career, and after that they drop their interest to play in full. Some other players playing for to get achievements in their careers and playing very hard for that. And they really do not care much about their contract. The most difficult part for GM is to find those real players. 

     

    That's just natural tho. Secure financial security. Then there seems to be the post contract hangover so often. Maybe Gus would bounce back next year but can you take that chance?
    Remember Dumba? Big season =Crazy contract and never came close to replicating that season.

    He merit this. 

    But Gustavsson should be a backup goalie. After the season 2023-2024. I lost a trust in him this season.

    If we want Fleury back to mentor Wallstedt, Gus would be the odd man out. Can't really keep him then.
    He had a great season that happened to coincidentaly be a contract year. Funny how that happens.

    So far they do but it’s April 9th. Can’t believe all the injuries already. It’s baseball not hockey 

    Don't want to fall too far behind early tho.
    I miss the old style of hitting to all fields, Get runners on base and move them around. So much more fun and chances for errors having to field the ball instead of hitting for the fences every at bat..
