Vegas getting Lehner is also such a weird and high risk sort of move. Like, on the one hand, they probably now have the best 1-2 combo in the league. On the other hand, MAF hasn't been bad, and he's more playoff tested than anyone out there, and if everything goes to plan, Lehner won't play a single playoff minute.

Lehner allows Fleury to rest.

Also I could totally see Lehner stealing the job if Fleury has a couple bad games in the playoffs

Nobody is ever sitting their goalie in the playoffs for rest. And yes, IF Fleury has a bad stretch Lehner could totally steal the crease. But that's not really "things going to plan."

Like, don't get me wrong. Having a really good backup goalie is a good thing. But it's a luxury. It's a nice to have, but not a must have. I have a tough time believing this was really Vegas' most pressing need (and a bit surprised that someone like Carolina or Edmonton or someone wasn't willing to pony up more).

I'm happy with the moves the Red Wings made today. Athanasiou got about what was expected, and getting anything at all for Green is a win. We got a free waiver pickup that has a chance to turn into something decent, and Gagner at least should slot into the lineup better than half of our current forwards, making the remaining games still kind of watchable.

The more I sit on things, the more I don't mind the Wild not doing much. Koivu and Galchenyuk leaving this year would save a whopping 10 mil alone, and other than Brodin and Fiala, no one is worth so much play wise to justify a huge raise to counter act it. Galchenyuk would likely have to take a paycut regardless if he stays or goes.

Unless they fetch good draft stock, there isn't room to panic that much. Ladd would have saved some money and term, but that recapture penalty hangs like a fucking cloud.

Believe it or not, but following these trades, the Red Wings look even worse than before.

Like, they were on a power play, and spent half of it in the defensive zone. When they finally started attacking and set up in the offensive zone, Filppula took the puck behind the Devils net, and completely skied a pass over his wide open teammates.

Just turned on the Capitals game to see Holtby let in a softie and make it 3-3.

If I was in Vegas right now and could bet on in-progress games, if the game makes it to overtime, I would bet $500 on the Capitals losing.

Okay maybe $500 is too much but I'd do $100 at least.

Bertuzzi used to be great but he fell off, hard. So other than Mantha and I guess Larkin... it's pretty rough, yeah. But that impending high draft pick!!

Edit: ok very happy to have lost 100 theoretical U.S. dollars there but would've been happier if Holtby didn't let in that 3rd goal.

I love that the Wings are losing 7-1 but my one guy, Mantha

(1) has the one Detroit goal
(2) doesn't have a negative plus/minus despite the goal overload

What a great guy.

Also the only Wild forwards without a point are:
-Marcus Foligno

So if I'm reading this right, Andreas Athanasiou basically pulled 4th line minutes and still went -1 in a game where his team won 8-3 (+4 on even-strength goals).

What happened to the dream of his super-speediness being paired with McDavid (who got 5 points)?

Well, I guess since his Oilers debut where he got 2 points and went +2, he's now got 0 points and a -2 over the next three games so he's returning to form... and back to -45. Maybe he really can hit -50 by the time the season's done...
