Good thinking Gary, this has always worked out so well in the past. There's a reason the MLB, NFL, and NBA all try to avoid the Vegas market, and it's not just because you're some genius who sees what they don't.
>>68820197
Jesus Christ, and the league was complaining about ratings this year.
>>68820145
just think about the trade deadline moves now and how much its going to come into play for the expansion draft. its going to be an EXPANSION BONANZA

>>68821559

their third and 4th line could be above average and they could package guys in trades to get a real top line and shit. not to mention with 3 nhl goalies they'll just trade one away immediately for something

>>68822081
they're not going to get anything but an ahl tweener or a vet bottom six/bottom pairing D for a backup goalie if they want a roster player. goalers are easy to come by for cheap
At least Edmonton will have 4-5 more wins every season
>>68822133
yeah they'll protect letang, maatta, and dumo/pouliot and they'll probably lose one of the dmen.
that is assuming they trade fleury before this

And then their mascot could be a dude dressed up in a one armed bandit suit with the lever being a hockey stick
>>68822220
>>68822133
That all hinges on whether or not Pouliot actually has a good year next year and improves. If he does, it'll be him or Dumoulin who gets taken. If he doesn't, it'll be Dumoulin or Daley. And whether ornot Fleury gets traded.
>>68822353

it gets more complicated if they trade for another top6 winger without losing a roster player
then they'd probably go with the 3D 7F variant and that means de haan is gone

But Black Knights is generic shit. Your city has an identity and the team names should reflect it tbqhfam.

they'll likely end up going with something innocuous and non-referential, like "the storm" or something they stylize as singular. the las vegas fiesta. lmao
