Kyle Larson in the media center:
“Yes I agree a lot of our Cup races are too long. Three hours is too long.”

@KnightsMuse_ @BaylesLawGroup Captains can be moved on from quickly.
And at 34, stones next contract feels like that Marshy territory. How long do you extend someone at over 5mil a year who is creeping into the Old territory
English
@BaylesLawGroup True, but this was the best season of stones career. And he is the captain.

Elliotte what are we saying here ?
To be completely honest. Vegas moves on form wild bill before stone

Elliotte Friedman: Re Golden Knights: To me two of the more fascinating conversations are going to be around Mark Stone and William Karlsson; two very interesting contracts for Vegas; they keep who they want; father time is undefeated - 32 Thoughts (7/6)

@TobyChristie Utah mammoth did this with Golden Knights. Worked well for them.

This is a cool tactic, but why would a fan of another driver trade a t-shirt of their guy for another guy? It’s not like you’re getting something for free, you’re giving your shirt for another shirt.
I feel like if you’re trying to convert other fans to cheer for you instead, that’s not a highly successful path to it? But maybe I’m wrong.
Would like to hear from some fans to hear their thoughts?

Denny Hamlin’s hauler makes the turn into Chicagoland Speedway

@DannyWebster21 I heard from someone that he never fully recovered last year from whatever leg injury he had.
So maybe a bounce back year is possible with some more rest
English
Kelly McCrimmon: “I feel really good about our goaltending.”
“I think Adin Hill is going to bounce back. I think he’s a good goalie who had a tough season. We need to get him to revert to form.”
English
@TDChrisG They are accruing picks for the deadline.
Dont expect a cannon ball in free agency.
English
This might be to open up a little bit of cap for something bigger...stay tuned.

Keegan Kolesar traded to Detroit for a 3rd in 2029 and a 7th in 2027.

@TDChrisG Adin hill and Stuart Skinner goalies in Winnipeg? And we thought the fans didn’t show up before this
English
Things are getting interesting now. Make sure to factor Andersson's $8.5 million AAV, which still leaves VGK some room to work with. Keep an eye on the Hellebuyck situation. This could playout like the Brady Tkachuk deal. The Jets' hands could be tied, should Hellebuyck decide Vegas is where he wants to be. VGK has some picks plus a few young assets to move. Adin Hill is likely part of a deal that includes Hellebuyck. If VGK are going to land a big fish, it's Hellebuyck or no one in my opinion.

After trading Korczak and aquiring Wotherspoon at $500K cap hit this year, the #VegasBorn have $7.4M in cap space with 15 active players (9F/4D/2G) If VGK adds Pietrangelo to season ending LTIR they can potentially have up 16.2M of space available puckpedia.com/team/vegas-gol…

@JoeCLovesHockey @J_Swish24 It’ll be 13 when they officially put Pietro on SELTIR. Since he’s informally retired due to injury. But goes back to 4 or 5 if they sign Anderson.
They will definitely be trading some guys off
English
@J_Swish24 They have to move out some cash though, they have $4M to sign 8 players

Don’t be shocked if Vegas has no turned to #1 on Larkin Watch. Gotta think these boys in Nevada are going big game hunting. Chess, not checkers.

@tipsy731 @mzvgk @rundmvvgk Wife is also certain amount of pregnant. Maybe wants to stay here for now.
English
@NHLJackManning This would be worst case scenario for Vegas in terms of moving forward and signings. 36/37 year old off of double hip injury. Only have 4 million in cap room (12.5 if he’s out). Kiss your favorites goodbye if they make more than 5 million as we try to ship out for cap room
English
Apparently Andy Strickland is claiming that Alex Pietrangelo is close to 100% and planning to play next year.
I mean, if anyone could, it's him. But that seems super super unlikely. This time of year, everyone is lying.

@psychedalex68 Watch the replays back. Noah was driving like a punk
English
Pretty crazy to wreck a series regular for no reason other than "fuck it". Sure didn't take it like a man either. Don't need this clown back.
English
@jeff_gluck Austin Hill driving Connor into the wall and setting off a big crash is wild expected
English
Major, major Chase implications. SVG needed two big weeks to get a buffer on the cut line. Absolute stunner right now.
English
@bobpockrass Why does Chris Bell need a potential fill in? Side effect of his crash, wife pregnant? Something so all the conspiracy theorists go away
English
Brent Crews will be on standby for Christopher Bell at Coronado. NASCAR has approved him to fill in as he will be in OReilly race the day before (and drivers who are full time in a series are supposed to do only that series. NASCAR has also OK’d Austin Hill to race 33 Cup car).
English
@VGKFlamingo Can’t wait to over pay for what should be our 3rd liner. Give up multiple turnovers and score maybe 3 a year. I mean dude was nearly historically bad. And that trade looked much worse now than it did then.
Handshake deals can be walked back on. Because he’s not worth 8 a year
English
Vegas CAN afford to sign Andersson, Dorofeyev, trade for Hellebuyck, and have a solid roster. Here's how: Petro LTIR; trade Hill, Hertl, Kolesar, and Korczak; resign Lauzon for $2M, C Smith & Sissons for $1.5M each, and Hutton or Coughlin for $1M, Andersson & Pavel split $15.8M

Nick Kypreos: Re Connor Hellebuyck: Certainly there seems to be a lot of noise around this player in terms of where his head's at right now; teams are watching closely - Sportsnet Central (6/16)
English
@ClaytonYates17 I hope they don’t honor the handshake deal they had in place
English
Vegas needs to cut ties with Rasmus Andersson this offseason. Re-signing him would give Vegas their own version of the Darnell Nurse contract #forgedingold
English
@TDChrisG The number of players without contracts, the number of players who will not be here next year, both are going to be significant.
I think we lost Whitecloud for nothing too. Anderson has been nothing short of a mess since he came. And might be moved on
English
For a team that just went to the Stanley Cup Final, there's a lot of questions. A lot.
English
@davidcw51 If Reilly Smith wasn't on the team, I'd entertain the possibility.
English
“It (stinks) that he has to sit,” Golden Knights coach John Tortorella said of Smith. “He's a seasoned pro. He understands how to handle this type of situation. He's worked hard. It's hard for those guys to be sitting out and just practicing and waiting, but he's handled himself really well.”
If Torts doesn't get Smith into the lineup after a series of quotes like this...

What should the Golden Knights do with their lines going into Game 6?

@RyanHockeyGuy Bring in bowman. Get weird with it. Kids fresh and has some finesse
