I'm guessing that's pretty much a green light for teams make trades to Vegas in return for not picking particular players, because what other kind of trades could Vegas make before the team even plays?

Galaga Galaxian posted:Damnit. Eastside Hockey Manager is hardcoded to have 30 teams in the NHL. The game is ruined. That's really stupid for a game that simulates more leagues than just the NHL. Like, is there really no league in the world with more than 30 teams? Pornographic Memory fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Jun 23, 2016 |

Rotten Cookies posted:So who's gonna be the GM/Coach for this team? Who y'all got at the top of the Craps? apparently vegas is interested in penguins assistant gm jason botteril. currently his main responsibility is managing the salary cap for the penguins iirc and he's assumed to be one of the leading candidates to replace rutherford whenever he steps down, but obviously that doesn't preclude him deciding to go "gently caress it" and go to vegas instead of waiting around

all the fans of cap strapped teams with bad contracts are going to be really disappointed when vegas picks a player who is actually decent instead of the lovely guy on a $5 million multiyear contract and on top of that causes the salary cap to stagnate or even drop as hockey related revenue is now split 31 ways instead of 30

It's a shame too, you'd think Tocchet would be a perfect fit for a team in Las Vegas...

"red hawks" is the kind of name you use for a team in a movie or video game where you use fake names for everything but still want to reference the real thing

Yaya posted:Also apparently the NHL shot down anything gambling related from Day 1 which begs the question, "Why even bother going to Vegas?" it's a shame because las vegas aces could have been a really good, if obvious, name, working on both the level of being a gambling reference and letting The Creator get his boner on for the military

hifi posted:The LV hockey identity is the closest thing The Creator can get to naming the team after his alma mater without a lawsuit Yeah the whole "knights" thing is because The Creator really really really wishes he could name the team the Black Knights after West Point's athletics teams, and the team is owned under Black Knight Sports & Entertainment.

Lessail posted:Ask why everyone else only wants to poo poo on the team It's because the vast majority of NHLSAS discussion is veiled or not so veiled making GBS threads on our own and each other's teams. Most teams don't have their own thread for us to go poo poo on them though.

its too bad blue jackets is such a cumbersome name because i like that it's actually a mildly noteworthy celebration of civil war history that isn't pro-confederate
