The first is fine. Ā Thatā€™s a bunch of throw-ins. Ā I didnā€™t know GMs in the real world considered deals where you just throw enough names at a team until they say yes.

Jack Eichel to make Vegas Golden Knights debut Wednesday – ESPN

In a corresponding move, Vegas placed captain Mark Stone on long-term injury reserve. The Golden Knights were over the $81.5 million salary cap, but Stoneā€™s $9.5 million salary will not count against the cap while he is sidelined, helping clear the way for Eichel ($10 million cap hit) to debut.

The Golden Knights said that Stone had back issues dating to last yearā€™s playoffs and he has seen ā€œnumerousā€ specialists across North America. Stone has been on and off the ice this season as he worked through the injury, including missing a month on injured reserve. Stone has played back-to-back games only once this season.

ā€œItā€™s difficult to define exactly what the issue is; I think thatā€™s been really frustrating for Mark,ā€ McCrimmon said. ā€œAnd yet thatā€™s the type of thing we need to get to the bottom of, and that takes time.ā€

Should take until…ohhhh… right about the last day of the regular season for him to get healthy Iā€™d guess.
