Vegas Aces Wild
FA Additions: Dylan Larkin, Pavel Buchnevich, Sam Bennett, Nikita Zadorov, Zach Whitecloud, Laurent Brossoit
Draft Additions: Kent Johnson, Danila Klimovich, Chaz Lucius, Aatu Raty, Isak Rosen, Jacob Bernard-Docker, Simon Edvinsson, Egor Zamula,
What I think about Vegas’ team?:
I looooooove the centres on this team, but I think that rolling the dice on not having any other good player to go with them is, uh, risky… I know I have made a lot of wise cracks about Vegas loving the youngsters. Always drafting 16 players a year, trading away anyone who might be good now for guys who might be good in 4 years. I don’t get it. Until the Aces are truly Wild and they trade that deep deep farm for 5 or 6 expiring mega stars and casually moonwalk to a championship. Whatever...
Player I love:
Pavel Buchnevich - I am willing to bet that every bit of opportunity the Blues were going to give to Tarasenko before he asked for a trade will go to Buchnevich next year. I loved this guy in the Big Apple and I would expect that he builds on his success playing with a very well established Blues roster. I expect big things from him this year and I would think Vegas does too. Great add.
Player I hate:
Jordan Greenway - Here’s the deal. I’m not entirely up to date on what this guy is about. I am aware he exists in the NHL. That’s it. But the amount of times I have had GM Tony put this guy’s name into trade negotiations makes me hate him. Please hear me when I say this: I do not want Jordan Greenway on my team. I do not know who he is. I do not know what he brings to the table. I absolutely do not want to change that by doing a simple Ask Jeeves search. Just keep his name out of my eyes. Thank you. Xo2.
My advice you didn’t ask for:
Go out and treat yourself to some wingers. Some *good* wingers. I know you’ve got a hard on for Ken Holland, but for the love of Connor, get some wingers. The Oilers do not succeed putting bad wingers with McDavid and you won’t either. Use your cash, your assets, your charm, your inability to spell “fuck”, take all of that and turn it into GOOD WINGERS. Or don’t...I mean I’ll happily take the extra two wins this year.
