Game 1 of the Round Robin

Pacioretty-Karlsson-Stone
Marchessault-Stastny-Smith
Cousins-Stephenson-Tuch
Carrier-Roy-Reaves

McNabb-Schmidt
Martinez-Theodore
Holden-Whitecloud

Fleury https://t.co/GKrlacPpDa

YES 15%
NO 85%

(I consider this pretty good considering there's still 24 teams alive) https://t.co/SGwNPzKuMG

San Diego https://t.co/ShjYxfzI75

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) June 21, 2020

Don't have anything concrete on this but the last I heard the plan is still to unveil it in the offseason between the two seasons. My guess is the first time they wear it on the ice is the next time there are fans in T-Mobile Arena. https://t.co/rC3kQdZsIz

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) June 21, 2020

Both Anaheim and LA are pretty stacked. VGK's is definitely not on par with those two, but they are not the worst either. (That's probably San Jose.) https://t.co/m54zeYDPtK

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) June 21, 2020

I do not. Increased testing was going to lead to an increase in positive tests. The league had to be aware that they were going to receive some positive tests.

The key will be in containing the spread within the facilities now that the positives exist. https://t.co/dB7cbsnJkv

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) June 21, 2020

The price of the contract is in-line with the player. So the answer is yes. However, I believe VGK had the ability to use some leverage against him to get him to take a cheaper deal and they opted not to do that. Missed opportunity to save a few bucks IMO. https://t.co/6IeiUPA1sd

Let's do a Q&A.

Ask me anything, I'll answer every single question and QT the good ones. Go…

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) May 18, 2020

I'll go with yes but it'll be on the back end of the 5 years. https://t.co/o9XWGmlR6Y

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) May 18, 2020

I do not.

The only way I can see it making sense to keep both guys is if the 82 game schedule is majorly tightened.

Otherwise, they'd have to move Fleury and I don't see that happening. https://t.co/9EVTCsb9OP

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) May 18, 2020

Late July would be my best guess. Wouldn't shock me if it extends into August. (As of today though, I do believe it will happen.) https://t.co/uGZvq6lyZV

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) May 18, 2020

16 teams.
Normal playoff format.
4 preseason games against teams you are not scheduled to play in the 1st round.

(Not sure if it's been proposed, but that's what I'd do if I were in charge.) https://t.co/JaYAt17wAg

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) May 18, 2020

The future looks fairly similar to the present. The core is here and will be for a while.

Mark Stone will eventually be named captain. I'd say it happens in the offseason between 2019-20 and 20-21. https://t.co/6brHcJCA2q

For now, yes. Wouldn't surprise me if they play a game in an empty arena at some point though. https://t.co/6c3Sbhk96z

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) March 11, 2020

They need to eventually get some production from ELCs. To this point, they have cashed in all of the extra Expansion Draft assets. Moving forward, any traded picks have to pay off big time, otherwise the future will suffer. https://t.co/QgFvgszTpA

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) March 11, 2020

At the moment, I'd still go with Fleury to start the playoffs.

I expect the rotation to continue throughout the rest of the regular season and I do believe the next 11 games will play a role in who starts Game 1. https://t.co/IW864r6vw0

But, I think you are going to see many more minutes from Holden than Whitecloud when we get there. https://t.co/hnkNo7Cdbu

Fleury (unless Lehner wins them the Cup) https://t.co/E44Sc47edv

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) March 11, 2020

Yes. There's way too much money involved to cancel the games completely. There could absolutely be games without fans and/or postponements, but canceling games completely still seems unlikely to me. https://t.co/Uv4hss4y8f

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) March 11, 2020

I'm still on board for trying to get a high-end puck moving D-man. Of course, that may not be available, so any solid D-man would work (puck-mover or D-first). I'd love to stay with just Eakin and then the collection of crap they got this offseason (2 2nds, 3rd, Cond 5th, Roy). https://t.co/v71dqNWZX8

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 25, 2019

Eric Gustafsson
Shayne Gostisbehere
Haydn Fleury

I also love Miles Wood, if they decide to go the forward route. https://t.co/525ds3hBqo

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 25, 2019

Pacioretty and Fleury. Would have been only Max, but with the injury in Arizona I think they'll take Fleury. https://t.co/n5VGc2DV6h

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 25, 2019

I recently checked in on this and the response to whether or not it would be coming this season was lukewarm, which it hasn't been before.

I still think they are trying to make it happen, but if I'm guessing, I'll say it's an offseason unveil and they'll wear em Opening Night. https://t.co/yLzoTSRnGN

I was Italian for two weeks and a lot happened in VGK land while I was there. Plus, preseason football is terrible. So, let's fire up a Q&A.

Ask anything you would like, I'll RT with an answer.

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 16, 2019

Honestly, it wouldn't shock me if they go something like 55/27 assuming both guys are healthy. https://t.co/WRNkSzxERz

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 16, 2019

I think it's a little much, just because I believe it's necessarily the main goal for VGK this season. Betting odds are always going to be skewed towards VGK though due to the money that comes in on them. https://t.co/cPRZzYn2jh

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 16, 2019

No.

I could see him pushing Dansk for the starting role for the Wolves though. https://t.co/vmZtSwePjt

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 16, 2019

No one got hurt off the ice. (That we know of at least.) https://t.co/LCML6UTX1n

Fair question and I don't really have an answer. RFA's without arbitration rights always have the potential to take a while because of the lack of leverage the player holds. I'd be surprised if he misses camp though because he needs to be there to win a job. https://t.co/hPkKhUb1Fv

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 16, 2019

I don't buy that for a second. No one would probably give fair value for them (meaning McPhee would have probably gotten fleeced in the deals) but if they really wanted them out of here, they wouldn't be here. https://t.co/a73wWpy8Fi

I still think they end up signing him at around $3-$3.5 million. https://t.co/XiV0ltplBc

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) July 11, 2019

Jimmy Schuldt. He's the most seasoned of them and I think he's got the most upside aside from possibly Hague. Schuldt can likely step right in and not hurt the team at all. https://t.co/oqyh08sekw

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) July 11, 2019

Not at all. Handedness is a bit overblown for me. https://t.co/0Q1C3Jgh5C

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) July 11, 2019

Holden AND Reaves I'll put at around a 20% chance.
Holden OR Reaves is closer to an 80% chance. https://t.co/TqKMn7KW5O

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) July 11, 2019

Might have to make one for McPhee if it goes the way it appears to be heading. (Joking, of course. #JinxesAreForLosers) https://t.co/Fdd7FSEPdU

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) July 11, 2019

Let's go with 28 games. Health is obviously the great unknown. The chances both Fleury and Subban are healthy all year are low, but in a perfect world I'd say 54/28. https://t.co/pCHCD6veSY

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) July 11, 2019

To go back to Russia. VGK would then forfeit his rights in a year and he could come back as a UFA. He holds about as much power as you can as an RFA. It's not an ideal situation for VGK, but they put themselves here. https://t.co/J61oshb3oQ

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) July 11, 2019

If they trade Gusev and sign another scorer, my head might explode. Why give up Gusev and Haula and then use that money to bring in someone else? The whole trading Gusev and Haula thing doesn't add up to me which is why I still don't think it's happening. https://t.co/iIKHBFydbn

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) July 11, 2019

He'll sign a contract at some point, probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $1M. He should have the inside track to win the job out of camp. https://t.co/wB27AjlqOw

Yes, they've been better all season long and they got much better at the deadline. I'm aware of the results, but the way the team is structured they are even better. Long way to go, but VGK will be a tough out for anybody in these playoffs. https://t.co/YA0davZIuX

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) April 18, 2019

VGK are significantly deeper and much more talented aside from the top guys. MacKinnon is unreal and will be a handful, but VGK would have a much bigger advantage in that series than this one. Let's get there first though. https://t.co/MJ5Y9PCXME

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) April 18, 2019

I'll have to watch them a lot more if we get there, but from my memory of when they've played VGK it's been puck possession. They cycle in the VGK zone for extended periods (not always doing anything dangerous) but it slows Vegas down. Get the puck and keep it. https://t.co/hcIQnN0GWx

Got to be the Radulov story. I can't remember which podcast it was in that we told the whole thing, and it was actually Jason who experienced it, but let's just say, not only did he refuse to answer questions but he made sure everyone knew who was the big man on campus. https://t.co/WXFs3bqDP8

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018

I do not. I belive Turk will stick with Pacioretty-Stastny-Haula and he'll slot Tuch in on the 3rd. Though that could change if the 2nd line struggles between now and Tuch coming back. https://t.co/rID6XocQU0

Can't say it's a bad bet. I still think they get in the playoffs without any issue, so that would make them 16:1. Don't think they'll be the worst team heading in either. Might have waited until this road trip is over though, could see it going up a bit more if they drop 2 more. https://t.co/iMy2OtuxAX

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018

Marchessault-Karlsson-Smith
Pacioretty-Stastny-Haula
Nosek-Eakin-Tuch
Carpenter-Bellemare-Carrier/Reaves (pick whichever one is not hurt and playing best)

This being said, having a fully healthy team is fairly rare so I doubt we see this lineup too often. https://t.co/56X9v3h7ho

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018

I wouldn't. I expect a bounce back effort for VGK. Vegas should be dogs but I think the game is going to be close to a toss up. I'm guessing 3-3 heading into OT, game-winner by Karlsson in OT. https://t.co/xlOwRcaByU

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) October 10, 2018

Not really. The 91.9 PDO is insane. That'll turn around relatively soon, if not as soon as tomorrow. If they can get 3 points in the next 3 games they are in great shape, 4 or more would be amazing. If they don't get another 2 points on this trip, then I'll be a bit worried. https://t.co/IKthDlWZtO

It actually ended up being 11th in the league last year, which isn't that bad. I think missing Tuch and Schmidt has hurt PP more than it has anything else. They'll get it going on PP. Don't think they'll be Top 10, but it won't be 0 for. Plus PK has been excellent. https://t.co/wxkVy3RKDk

I'm not going to overreact to the Final. Throughout the rest of the playoffs and a majority of the year they were pretty good. There will be some competition in training camp with Whitecloud, Brannstrom, Reinhart, Leslie, Holm, and Oligny too. I'm not worried about it. https://t.co/dIMYneZ7v7
