Put yourself in Vegas GM George McPhee’s shoes for a moment. Feels pretty powerful, doesn’t it?
In just one day, 30 NHL teams will be at your fingertips. Some will be trying to swing a deal with you, others will be struggling to protect their top players, and some will be accepting their fate and giving you the freedom to choose any player on their exposed list.
It’s a great situation to be in, but it’s probably rather overwhelming. Once all of the teams make their final trades before the lists are submitted, Vegas can sit back and wait while possibly getting in on a potential trade themselves.
