The single game ticket on-sale date (AKA when Canadians who said Vegas didn't deserve a team start booking Vegas trips🙄) will be mid-August.


laaaaaaaawl
 
Crazy how out of touch the NHL as a whole is. Management, owners, players etc.

You have NBA star players promoting the sport all over the world (Korea, China, Europe, Africa) meanwhile the dumbass NHL decides to opt out of the Olympics. Players who have more personality than a grey metal post are shamed. Fuck this league

Heh. I'd kick Vegas out in a heartbeat and replace it with a few other cities. But that doesn't mean I won't take advantage of it

I guess the argument would be that the NBA has the ability to promote their league in the offseason.

I would be interested to see what the NBA would do if they had to shutdown to go to the olympics or a FIBA championship.

So weird, and it's Markov, so it's not like he's going to say much during his press conference. Where the hell does he end up signing then?

Hard to imagine Bergevin feels comfortable going into the season with this defence minus Markov, but I also don't know what he has to offer that could change this.

Alzner - Weber
Shlemko - Petry
Benn - Streit
Davidson

Not terrible, but Alzner getting big minutes in place of Markov will be a downgrade for sure.

Alzner isn't a top pairing guy, and wasn't signed as such, they're really lacking puck movement with Markov departing.

I agree, but who's gonna play the tough minutes on the left side with Weber?
Essentially the issue Bergevin now faces, and he's running out of assets he can move to find that guy. The good news is Julien is one of the best defensive coaches in the league and has done more with less.

We also have Joe Morrow and Jakub Jerabek. But we'll see what'll happen next. Maybe we will trade someone for a Defenceman...
