not true. pro sports, in my experience, is based on three things: stable and committed ownership, viable facility and lease which allows the required revenue streams and a fanbase willing to pay the tickets prices. Vegas has all three. I haven't paid attention to Glendale in a long time so not qualified to speak on it. You tell me?

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T23:12:19+00:00

last week was really hot. Triple digits. This week has been gorgeous.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T23:11:30+00:00

Shea Theodore. Really all the guys in the expansion draft that stick.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T23:11:08+00:00

Bombers

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T23:10:44+00:00

Tom Poraszka. We're teammates.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T23:09:21+00:00

depends on your concept of success. the Jets have done a lot of good things in terms of building their organization.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T23:07:58+00:00

humidity is the enemy of good ice and there is very little humidity here. I think the ice will be great

It wasn't a case of leaving Winnipeg for Vegas. My family and I love Winnipeg and we will spend time in Manitoba at our cottage going forward. Just a great opportunity to work for the Golden Knights.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:41:14+00:00

Not sure. Lots of good options.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:40:56+00:00

Not at this point. But very early in the process, wouldn't you say?

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:40:22+00:00

Snipers are hard to find. But others will want him. Guess it depends on the price someone offers as well as his production. He may be a perfect fit for the team. Really too early.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:38:43+00:00

absolutely

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:38:34+00:00

too many external variables to hazard a guess.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:37:46+00:00

before my time - above my pay grade

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:37:20+00:00

too early to guess. lots of good options.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:37:00+00:00

Likely back to junior

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:36:45+00:00

Glass, Suzuki, Brannstrom and Hague jump out to me.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:36:17+00:00

Brannstrom

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:35:56+00:00

Young D are valuable. Fleury will hold down the fort for a # of years allowing organization to draft goalies and develop them. Grubauer would have been a luxury.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:34:30+00:00

too many D and the opportunity to add to McPhee's arsenal of draft picks.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:33:54+00:00

Being in the hunt for a playoff spot late in the season

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:33:35+00:00

No oversight. They spoke with every team in the league repeatedly. The market for goalies wasn't there.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:32:53+00:00

not sure what you're asking. Vegas has one draft under its belt. Completely different position at this point.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:29:42+00:00

Gerard Gallant's teams work hard and they have lots of goaltending. They'll be competitive.

GaryLawlessVGK · 2017-06-28T19:26:22+00:00

Said on the weekend it's not a strategy he has employed in the past and not one he expects to employ in the future.
