So, what to do heading into next season.

Granlund, Niederreiter, Haula and Folin will get new contracts and maybe Schroeder as well. Hanzal, Prosser and White are probably gone.

We have to find a way to move Parise, his style of play and his age make him a huge injury risk going forward, I believe he does have a no trade clause but I would hope he would waive that if they were able to move him. They aren't going to trade him that's just wishful thinking on my part.

We also need to find a taker for Scandella, he was horrible and he's signed for three more years at $4M per.

Who do we protect from the expansion draft?

Obviously Dubnyk isn't going anywhere.

On defense I think they protect Suter who they have to protect then Spurgeon and Dumba, that leaves Scandella, Folin and Brodin available.

We have to protect Parise, Koivu and Pominville, so four more? So Niederreiter would be one as would Granlund and Staal and probably Coyle so we could lose Zucker or Haula unless Pominville would waive his no movement clause then we could protect another forward. I think Zucker is the one we end up losing.

We need to bring in another solid scoring forward and a top four defensemen IMO.

Granlund, Nino and Coyle are locks to be protected.

Keep hearing rumors that Vegas is willing to listen to deals where teams give them pick in exchange for them selecting a preferred player or laying off a preferred player.

If we engage. We would try and save zucker and talk them into taking Dumba.

We probably lose Zucker tho which is a huge shame.

Fuck Dumba and Brodin. We need new D

They need to convince Pominville to waive his no movement clause! I don't wanna lose Dumba dammit!

too late.... It's not known if they even approached him or not, or, if he just didn't feel secure.

Who knows. Maybe they can still work out a deal with LV.

Pominville is a fucking jackass

Brilliant move on his part. Make the fans hate you more and your teammates probably just as much.

Sounding more and more that it's likely Haula.

It's definitely Haula. Him and Tuch for a draft pick.

I'm saying this probably means we flip a Defenseman in another trade soon. At least that's the smart move

So, i'm liking this team this year, I think another 100 point season is possible, we just gotta hope Dubnyk doesn't peak in February!
