This is probably Burmi's only shot to be on the Olympic squad...  he'd never make the cut if NHL players were in - makes sense to give it a shot

Do the Russian athletes have to pay their own way?

According to his agent he is going back home so i'm guessing he'll be the caboose to team Lokomotiv.

Hopefully Roslo gets some time with skilled players.  I can see why they were reluctant to call someone up as you have to reward a guy like Roslo by letting him collect the big paycheque but essentially he’s be either not dressing or playing 4th line. 

But good players find a way.

The rails will fall off for that team. Has to happen.

I won't sleep properly until it does.......I don't like things that defy all logic.

Does it really defy logic, though? A proven GM, a proven HC, and some solid talent and depth - all significant advantages compared to previous expansion teams.

Florida gifted Vegas Jonathan Marchessault, Reilly Smith, and Gerard Gallant.  Without that trio we're looking at a very different team.  I hope VGK sent Florida a Christmas card.

William Karlsson going from fringe 3rd liner to star top six player helps too :P

It's a scrap heap! A junk pile came together to create a monster....I have no idea how it's possible.

A knightly scrap heap! It just seems like a perfect storm more than anything. Who knows if it'll continue but the Knights have themselves in a great position going into the second half of the season.

Wonder how much of Vegas home success wains as team start making return trips. I think a lot of their success at home is more to do with unfamiliarity of building etc than the night life. Athletes are creatures of habit and like to have things known and comfortable.

VGK has some scoring punch.  James Neal has scored 40 in a season, Marchessault scored 30 last year, David Perron and Reilly Smith have both been over 25.  The expansion draft was kinder to VGK than any previous expansion team... they got some legit players.

Legit players.  Good goaltending.  Hard to argue that on paper, they're a top 3 team in the league but good for them.  Good for the league too.
