Vegas Golden Knights Expansion Draft Shenanigans Thread

[pixburgher66]

Metro: NYR-Lindberg, NJD-?, NYI-Berube (trade with 1st rd, Grabovski), PHI-Bellemare, WSH-?, PIT-Fleury, CBS-Clarkson (trade with 1st rd and William Karlsson), CAR-?
Atlantic: TOR-Leipsic, MTL-Emelin, OTT-Methot, BOS-?, TAM-?, FLA-Marchessault, BUF-?, DET-Nosek
Central: CHI-?, MIN-Haula, STL-Perron, NSH-Neal, WIN-?, COL-?, DAL-Eakin
Pacific: ANA-Stoner, EDM-?, SJS-?, CAL-Engelland (UFA), LA-McNabb, AZ-?, VAN-Sbisa

Vegas apparently picked some UFAs...and don't plan to sign them? I don't really get that method, but okay.

Look at the team's exposed list and you get it pretty quickly. Not many guys worth taking from Calgary.

If the Golden Knights do indeed sign Engelland, I'm going to miss him. When he first came on board, that 2.9 shmill per season seemed like a huge overpayment, but he earned every penny of that contract.

It's sad because it's true - Need a bounce back year from Brouwer, that's for sure.

Huh. This guy isn't a big gun, but decent source.

That should still give Kneel a decent amount of time in Sin City to plow through the hot bartenders.

We in Pittsburgh have chosen to pretend that all outdoor games do not, and never have, existed.

This seems to be updated also as we go.

The fact they are taking Bellemare from the Flyers makes me wonder what type of side deal they have going on?
Nevermind that exposed list, I don't blame them.

Could be a fun night, will be interesting to see who ends up on that team.

Dammit. Why does it have to be Karlsson? Not so much because we're losing him, but more because Calvert and Johnson stay.




I hope there is a secondary trade looming...

I think that's a big win for the Caps if true (I like PG, he's a heck of a goalie).

Thanks for the link. As of 640PM EDT, the teams still blank are a who's who of WGAS

Lol you have Johnson for one more year. It's not that bad.

When does George McPhee send Martin Erat to Nashville for Filip Forsberg?

I dunno man, Schmidt is great. I want him on my team.

Compounded by the fact they might lose two other key d-men (Shat, Orlov), yeah, they probably wanted Vegas to take Grubauer.

You guys are forgetting one key item, though - Holtby is a sieve.

Honestly from the playoffs I think he was their best Dman. At least the Pens series he was.

Looking like Engelland will be the first captain for Vegas.
