Vegas Golden Knights Expansion Draft Shenanigans Thread

[mattola]

it gets worse. 5 of our last 6 first round draft picks are unprotected on whatever teams they ended up on

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Honestly the only 8 guys worth protecting.

This is all I can think of in this entire thread.

Greg Buttons thinks Vegas should select Jack Skille from the canucks ... they dont want canucks crap so theyll burn a ufa pick on a guy they dont want to re-sign because they HAVE to pick someone lol

McPhee is looking for players with skill, hey Jack was born will 'skiil'.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

If I was McPhee i would select Miltsy and then call Benning to see if he wants to trade a pick to him so Jimbo can talk to him early before July 1 :

Grabovski is not a bad player either to go along with that first.

I cannot fathom a d-man, young or old, on the Lightning's exposed list that would be worth giving up anything for a hands off agreement.

TB's exposed list overall is one of the weaker ones. Gudlelvskis is pretty much the only guy of even remote interest.

Shit, looking at Tampa's cap situation and the guys they protected for the first time since the Drouin trade and that deal looks so much worse lol.

I would guess this deal is about Dotchin.

Sir, I believe you have successfully connected the Dotchin.

It is certainly Gud(levskis) to hear that

So what's a guy in his D+5 year who had a small sample size where he produced slightly better than his career AHL norms while filling in alongside one of the best d-men in the league worth in terms of expansion draft protection? 2nd rounder? Future 1st?

McPhee has to be loving this shit right now lol.

Leafilepsy (TM) is running strong in some cities.



defn: an airborne brain disease that causes hockey general managers (and their fans) to view their players as HOF calibre, when in fact, the player would not crack the lineup of any Cup winner in the past 50 years.

When it's all said and done and the details are all released I actually don't think they're going to be as lopsided/Vegas friendly as what we've been hearing.

That sentence is awfully awkward, but I think you get the meaning
