I wish him the best. Vegas is going to be kind of a mess this year, I think.

I wonder if McPhee will have a job after the season.

McPhee shrewdly moved upstairs to the President's role a couple years ago. I think he can let Kelly McCrimmon take the fall if things go poorly again this year, even id McPhee is still running the show.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!

McPhee may sleep with the fishes after this season, if there are any fishes left in Lake Mead by next Spring

How bout inking Tage Thompson to a 7 year 50M deal? Right decision?
That was baffling to me. I get locking up your young stars, but don't you want to see him repeat it at least a little bit first? His shooting % last season was 15% after being a shade under 7% up to that point in his career. For an organization that deeply regrets signing Jeff Skinner to big money long term after a shooting % bender season, you'd think they'd hold their horses.
