Let me ask you a question, dear reader.
If you're with someone and you see someone else more attractive, what would you do? Would you stay faithful and look the other way? Or would you drop everything and talk to the more attractive person on the side?
By the way, they call that a "side piece."
That's the moral dilemma Kelly McCrimmon and the Vegas Golden Knights face for next offseason. A Bleacher Report article proposed the idea that the Golden Knights could move on from Jack Eichel and go "all in" (get it? Vegas jokes) on McDavid during the 2026 offseason. Here's the quote with Vegas being one of the seven landing spots for the megastar.
"A good rule of thumb to follow in the NFL is that if a top-line player becomes available, just assume the Vegas Golden Knights are going to figure out a way to squeeze their way into it. They always do.Bleacher Report
Salary cap? What salary cap?! They'll figure it out later.
There is some added intrigue here because Vegas' top player, Jack Eichel, is also set to enter the final year of his contract, while Mark Stone only has two years remaining on his deal.
In other words: Vegas could potentially have a lot of money coming off the books in the near future, and it may need to land another superstar.
Eichel is great. He helped Vegas win a Stanley Cup. But when has loyalty ever been a thing for the Golden Knights? This is the most cutthroat, win-at-all-costs organization in the NHL.
If there is even a small chance that McDavid could be available, they'll likely be plotting a way to get involved."
Boy, that's a lot to take in for a Golden Knights fan.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to test your moral compasses. We're seeing if you'd be willing to give up Eichel for McDavid!
