I love how 5 of those guys were all part of the Leafs organization recently.
 
What happened to Grabovski? The way he threw himself around I guess it's not a big surprise if he's hurt.

He has been suffering post-concussion symptoms and didn't pass the physical at the start of the season. Hasn't played since March 15, 2016
 
My favourite part of Shipachyov signing with Vegas is Montreal twisting in the wind yet again.

Not terrible although they remind me a lot of the Sens for some reason. If for no other reason as I don't really think there's much of a connection between the name and logo.

What? You're not a fan of them choosing a distinctly un-knightly helmet just so they can find a way to incorporate a V into their logo?

On that front it just seems weird more than anything because, if anything, the V is too subtle. I'd get it if, when I looked at the logo, I saw the V every time(even if I don't think of the city as "Vegas") but just at a glance I look at the jerseys and think "Helmet"

Honestly the whole name seems like a pretty solid misfire at this point.

Especially when the name Las Vegas Croupiers was just sitting there waiting for a dance invitation.
 
One note about the name, growing up in the U.K. We definitely called it Las Vegas, but living in the U.S. now I've never heard an American adult refer to it as Las Vegas, it is always Vegas.

I don't like those contrasting colours from the shirt to the sleeves.  The white looks particularly bad to me.
 
I like em. I think that they're something that will look better once they're on the ice/in full uniform too.

Although I did like Deadspin's comment that they "look like a create-a-team jersey from a video game" hah.
 
White gloves (with goldfingers) though...

I'm digging the slate gray, but I'm not sure what to make of the heavy Deutschl?nder-vibe.
