Floyd Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 Probably a combo of an easy early schedule and teams taking them lightly - now they have hot goalies and confidence... And aren't they basically playing a modern NHL trap? Teams like that usually don't fall back down to earth JCon 1

It's one of those things that works for a while, then starts to fall apart. But, that usually doesn't happen until the new season. Hope they can keep it up.

Brandon Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Vegas is 16 - 2 - 1 at home... I will assume that a small part of it would be the Evander Kane'ing of the players when they come into town to play in Vegas. Edited January 2, 2018 by Brandon FrostyWinnipeg 1

I remember glossing over that when Las Vegas was about to draft their players but can't remember the particulars and whether they had the advantage not previously enjoyed by other expansion teams.

Expand Much better players available yes. And a system that favoured them because in the cap era, Vegas was willing to take some good players that were high cap hits. But good for their management. Getting Fleury was great and then being gifted Subban didnt hurt either. Its good for the league. And if Winnipeg played Vegas in the playoffs, you can bet there will be some Jets fans trying to get a package down for the two (or so) games.
FrostyWinnipeg Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 As good as Vegas is, they would have been better if they not made a single trade.

However, that's why I think trading Hutch now may wield a bit more in return from desperate teams than what he really should wield in return, i.e., 3rd 4th rounder. I think his stock will be as high as it will ever be right now so take advantage of it. On the other hand, maybe Chevy already has sent out feelers for Hutch and there has been no takers or anything reasonable offered back. Dunno.
