Until the results of this trade are announced they have have 8 of their 9 top 3 picks over the next three years - missing only this year's second.

They are stocked.

Actually the best quality the Vegas team has used is their ability to not fall in love with their players. Traded 1st, 2nd, 3rd for tatar? Trade him with suzuki for Patches.
Dadanov didnt work? Move him for cap.
Need cap? See yeah Smith! Thanks for the cup.
Fleury? Thanks for everything GTFO

It turns out you can spell Cup without any of the letters in Loyalty.

They may pay for it in time, but who knows? Players like a winner and they also like no taxes.

They have sold off all the guys who would be playing now for them. They have picks that might matter in 4 years or they will suck like other draft picks. I think its a smart idea to not worry about the future while in a window.

The leafs did it but to be fair, the players squandered it. Some people can't differentiate between underperformance and simply a management team screwing up.

Sportsnet saying Parayko not likely to be traded anymore. Sucks for Santo.

I will say that while Vegas has made many good moves, you have to remember how they started - they had 30 top 9 forwards or top 4 defensemen or good goalies - and that was only 7 years ago. That is a lot of talent to acquire and then move around. They had the assets to swing their Richard around and make some bold moves. No one else had that quantity of cost controlled assets - that they simply plucked away from other teams. Other teams had either existed in a microcosm of team dynamics where the salary of player A is still influencing player B - or they were overpaying to acquire in UFA. Both Seattle and Vegas were gifted the greatest thing of all: a significant number of cost controlled assets.

If I wanted to be an bumhole I'd talk about the jays and how they didn't sign anything worthwhile lately. As I said.

(frank)ing jays are just depressing.

If he was traded to the Leafs, heโ€™d quickly be tagged with the nickname, Paradeko.
