Quebecer's need to proposition LA to declare the game/s in QC the Frozen Fury, just saying that everywhere the frozen fury has taken place that city have an NHL team or are about to have an NHL team (Vegas and Salt Lake)
I don't think season series mean anything. In the all Canadian division, Edmonton destroy Winnipeg all season long, then got sweep by the Jets that year.
And next year Vegas will have 19 players LTIR until 2nd last game of the season. It maybe under the rules but it’s bull…t
Yep. It's a stupid rule/ loophole.
Bettman is behind it and since he has been the Owners lap dog the teams have got richer and the product has gotten worse. There is only 10 teams that are any good the rest look good because of the Bettman point. To many teams, the league is watered down and we have ruined McDavid and Matthew’s best years because of guaranteed contracts. We would rather guarantee Lucic his contract instead of cancelling the bum but let Vegas cheat on a technicality 😂 This is why the NFL is the best league for contracts you play well your get paid well but if you take a dump you belong in the shitter. 😮
There is no such thing as salary cap circumvention. It’s a conspiracy theory invention. The CBA, agreed upon by ownership and the players, sets out the rules by which the NHL and the salary cap system are governed. There are no loopholes. They rules are clear and must be followed. They can’t be skirted or whatever specious verb one wants to apply. All teams must follow the rules in the same manner. What does vary, from club to club, are the resources managers have at their disposal as well as the skill of a team’s cap management staff. Owners determine how much money they are willing to spend on their team. Cap managers look for opportunities and ways to use the CBA to their advantage. There are no convenient injuries in the NHL. The league can and does ask for injury information on a regular basis. The use of Long Term Injury Relief is closely monitored. Unfortunately no one has sustained more injuries than the Golden Knights in the past three seasons. The CBA stipulates a team can replace injured players but must be cap compliant when they come off LTIR. So, for Shea Theodore, his 38 games missed happened earlier in the season. Vegas had to make sure they had cap room for him to return. Mark Stone’s lacerated spleen happened later in the season. Stone’s return from an internal organ injury is an unknown but certainly it won’t be in the regular season. So Vegas, within the constraints of the CBA, acted accordingly in replacing its captain who suffered a dangerous injury. NHL ownership is a competitive club of billionaires. They all want to win and are used to winning. They have legions of lawyers. They don’t let anyone get over on them. It just doesn’t happen. -Gary Lawless
Vegas is only playing by the rules, but it's despicable what they are doing. It's like a 50 years old getting consent to screw a 16 year. Playing by the rules but most don't do it because it's despicable.

Oh yeah they’re all Boy Scouts who earned their money through simple honest hard work and who would never even think of cheating. 😂😂😂
@dalriada and you miss the entire point. People like to complain and point fingers for instead of looking at how their teams are typically mismanaged and suck because the owner is not willing to sacrifice some profit for player acquisition. People can't comprehend that the VGK will do whatever it takes within the rules to win. They also forget that teams have to report to the league and players association.
