Haven't done a morning Q&A in a while. Let's go.
Ask me anything.

I think he's basically waiting for an injury at this point.
The question becomes what happens beyond this year when he becomes a Group 6 free agent. Does he want to stick around? Depending on his AHL season this year, I could see someone giving him a shot elsewhere.

Right now they are about $37k over. They still have to sign Patrick and Coghlan. So, in theory if everyone is healthy they'll have to make a few moves (sending guys through waivers) to get there. But, everyone isn't healthy, Tuch is out.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
I really only see through their Instagrams. Been a lot of weddings (McNabb and Stone recently), and a ton of awesome vacations (Theodore was in Hawaii). I think it's a healthy mix of guys staying and guys going elsewhere, but many more stay than they did 3 offseasons ago.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
I don't unless you consider Coghlan or Patrick as prospects.
Wouldn't shock me to see Dugan, Elvenes, and Korczak get some games, but it would likely require some injuries at the NHL level.

I'll go with Leschyshyn. As a former 2nd round pick we're all still waiting for that talent to shine through in a big way. The prospect pool would look a lot different if he can do it.

Early Feburary is the hope.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
I'd say I'm about the same. There's certainly reason to believe they can do it, but a lot of the same concerns still exist (plus a few new ones).
I think Brett Howden is going to be a useable player. Most have written him off, I'm not.
I hope I'm wrong, but Dadonov.

It's probably William Karlsson playing soccer.
I'm pretty sure Tuch can play lacrosse if you consider that a sport.
Lehner grew up playing soccer too (til he was like 14 if I remember right).
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
I think if they are out of the playoff picture by the Olympic break something could happen.
If they make the playoffs everyone should be fine unless there's a disastrous playoff series (much worse than MTL or DAL)

I'd have to imagine it's the guy they paid almost $2.5 million to be the backup. Brossoit.

Depends where I am. I call my own a bathroom but when I have to ask someone where it is, it's a restroom.

Love that USA/Canada are in the same group so we are guaranteed a game between them.
-20?

Non bene
Completely stopped when Miss Abby went back to work and now the only time I'm around the language at all is when I'm watching my Serie B soccer team (AC Monza) on DAZN.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
On The Rocks on Apple TV (Bill Murray and Rashida Jones). It wasn't good.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
Make it a 2nd instead of a 1st and 3rd and I'm in.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
Complacency and health
If they have anything close to a full roster and play like they can, they are a 100 point team with ease. But, with Tuch already out, another series injury could be a problem.
I'm not worried about either TBH.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
Nothing of significance. I wouldn't be surprised if they lose someone on waivers, but that's about it.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
I need a lot more time to think about this one. It's a great question.
Off the top of my head I'd say drop all power plays down to 1 minute (or even 30 seconds) because VGK's PP is so bad.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
It's certainly a major concern. Matchups are definitely going to matter as only so many teams can play the way you must to beat VGK. Hopefully the coaching staff is able to adapt a bit too this time around.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
Definitely no offer sheets, that would stun me.
I don't see anything of significance coming beyond the possibility of a few surprise guys going on waivers.

My expectations aren't terribly high either. I think if given a shot on the top line he could potentially flourish but more than likely he's a replaceable bottom-six guy. NHL quality, sure, but nothing special.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
Couple days before camp would be my guess.
The hold up is that the only leverage RFAs have in this situation is time. They just keep waiting and hope their deal gets better, even though it probably won't.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
Absolutely. Still looking for a sponsor for it, so if you know any businesses that would make sense, we'd love to chat.

I unfollow their IGs when they get traded. #DeadToMe
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
I think you are out of your mind if you pick them to miss the playoffs.
I'd say it's about a 99% chance.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
I expect them to keep it. Don't think they'll have enough cap space to move worth sending out a 1st.
This opinion could change in a hurry though after a see a month or two of hockey.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021

This is typical when it comes to RFAs. There's no rush on either side so for whatever reason it takes a while. I think both will get done in time for camp.

It has to be eyebrows. Eyelashes are crucial, eyebrows serve very little purpose. I'm already hideous so it would get so much worse, but I'd rather that than constantly have dusk and shit in my eyes.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
It was 100% about cap space. It was always ludicrous to carry that much money in two goalies.

Yeah I feel a bit that way too.

We are not at the moment.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
No. Offer sheets are not great for high-end players. You are giving out a contract that is over-priced (or at the very least fairly priced) and then giving up multiple assets to do it.
I don't mind them for the cheaper compensation, like under $3 million, but for good guys, no.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
Haven't heard anything on that front. I'd be surprised if it happens this year. COVID is going to have to be fully behind us I'd think because they don't make money on it.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
1) I think they'll find somewhere to play in Phoenix/Tempe/Glendale
2) Eh, doesn't really matter much to me.— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) August 30, 2021
