This could work to our advantage and Vegas could be become a trade partner in the offseason.

Why would it be to our advantage?
Is this a dangit because there was talk of trying to sign him in the offseason?
Hague. He’s like a more proven Bahl. Could rotate both next year and see who excels.
I kind of get what you’re alluding to. However, they have enough UFAs that if, and that’s a BIG if, they let them go, they might be able to squeeze under the cap without anything wild or drastically altering their lineup.
Idk how or even if he would fit, bit I’d like to have Stephenson signed by the devils. Can play literally anywhere from the second to fourth line center. Could even give more flexibility to play Jack on the wing without having to bump haula up from a 3C spot
Hanifin was pretty meh until recently probably the last 2 years or so, definitely could’ve been had on the cheaper side at one point. I think this should be a lesson to have patience with Nemec and Luke
