Mark Stone's Return Offers Problems As Well As Solutions
With Mark Stone reportedly being close to game-ready, the Vegas Golden Knights salary cap situation looks dire. GM Kelly McCrimmon's cap gymnastics have left his club on the cusp of exceeding the NHL's $81.5M cap. So tight, that in order to put Stone back into the active lineup they would have to perform more than one evasive maneuver. Cap Friendly, the greatest free resource known to hockey, has the scoop:
This is an absolute mess. In hindsight, it is hilarious that Golden Knights' management failed to pass the Dadonov trade.
They are in danger of missing the playoffs, they can't get their best players on the ice, and even if they make the playoffs many key players are going to be playing hurt.
Bad vibes are rife in Vegas right now.
