It's NHL Goalie Week and we discuss whether Adin Hill was snubbed by NHL Network on its Top10 list. We feel Hill should be on that list as we compare his stats to others at his position. We also name our Top Five VGK goalies of all time. And it's WTF Day with fan comments.

NHL insider Frank Seravalli says a Jack Eichel extension could happen before the start of the upcoming season. He says Eichel could make between $13-13.5 million AAV. Eichel was rumored to want around $15-million per year. Eichel becomes a free agent after this season if he and VGK can't come to terms. It would take a lot of stress if he signs before the puck drops on a new campaign. The NHL post-season salary cap is discussed. And, we talk about a Q&A between coaches and NHL refs in Detroit this week.

Who are the Pacific Division's Contenders, Pretenders and Dark Houses? We break the teams down by grouping. Have L.A. or Edmonton peaked? We rank the VGK prospects following the lead of an NHL.com article. And, why the lack of NHL trade activity since July 25? Cap concerns and VGK working on Jack Eichel's contract extension could be factors in Las Vegas.

Mitch Marner might have been driven out of Toronto due to security concerns, especially when the Maple Leafs were eliminated from the playoffs. Marner said he received threats and had to hire his own security people. "Great addition" said Jack Eichel on Marner's fit with VGK. And VGK that might surprise us this upcoming season.

We list our three biggest threats to VGK this upcoming season. What will VGK be like post-Olympics with Bruce Cassidy and possibly eight players going to Milan? Will egos get in the way this season with two superstars on the ice? Is the Pacific Division stronger from top to bottom? We also discuss the reduction in term contract limits and it's WTF Day.

VGK will be appearing on National TV 15 times this upcoming season. That's one more game than a season ago. The TV schedule was announced Wednesday and includes one appearance on ABC, four ESPN-televised appearances, four more on ESPN+, and six TNT appearances. The much-anticipated VGK game versus Toronto will be aired on ESPN Jan. 15. Jack Eichel says the expectation for Team USA is to win Olympic Gold in Milan. And, don't count VGK acquiring Rasmus Andersson. Flames Captain Michael Backlund says "it's obvious" Andersson will be traded, likely before the season begins.

Jeremy Tingley, of NHL Rumors, has VGK listed along with the Rangers and Panthers as potential landing spots for future Hall of Famer Evgeny Malkin. This is expected to be his final season in Pittsburgh, and if the Penguins are out of the Cup race early, Malkin could be available by the trade deadline. He could be a late rental for the Cup chase. He currently makes $6m a year. We have VGK sightings on the ice at City National by Cris Gawlik. And, to no one's surprise, VGK is ranked near the bottom in Pipeline Rankings.

Jack Eichel could command $15 million a year according to Frank Saravalli from Bleacher Report, as negotiations continue for a contract extension. Eichel's contract expires after this season. Initial reports said Eichel would want between $12.5 ad $13 million a year. But now that number escalated. Will Eichel test the free agency market? Should VGK fans be concerned? We wonder how VGK would handle the cap with two superstars on the team. William Nylander, Mitch Marner's former teammate, said this weekend that Marner was focused during the playoffs. Despite scoring 13 points in 13 games, fans and media in Toronto feel Eichel might have been checked out during the playoffs with the Maple Leafs. We also have Auston Matthews comments on #MarnerMonday. And, VGK reportedly took Alexander Holtz off its roster over the weekend. Holtz turned down an offer sheet for $874,000
