Vegas Golden Knights Expansion Draft Shenanigans Thread

[DragonfromTO]

Some bigger names left unprotected at first glance:

Luongo
Demers
Reilly Smith
Mrazek
Bobby Ryan
Methot
Cammalleri
Neal
Dumba
Scandella
Oleksiak
Manson
Vatanen

Marchessault is another one. Dude had 30 goals last year and is making peanuts but apparently Tallon decided that Bjugstad was more important.

Again, that D could be pretty decent, get a starting caliber goaltender and at the very least they'll stay in games.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Also, please take Cammalleri.

Troy Brouwer is some high priced talent left unprotected - Oh sorry, just high priced.

Sometimes GM's just can't let go of their projects. Missed a chance to lose a bad contract (although I think Demers is the probable choice there).

The Avalanche protected Blake Comeau.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Isles sending a first to Vegas to protect more forwards....


Why didn't they just protect more forwards and protect De Haan with the first.... what the fuck.

Ducks have to be one of the teams throwing a first at Vegas right? If not, shocked they didn't move Vatenan.

Isles, Ducks and Wild probably have deals in place (Or should!)

Manson too

Manson too

I'm sure the Ducks are throwing a first rounder at Vegas so they don't take Vatanen and Manson. Then they'll go around and trade Vatanen to Toronto at the draft.

Wild will have to be more creative with their package it seems, since they don't pick until #89 overall this year.

God damn we missed an opportunity with that kid. Jackets were afraid of his size and already had Atkinson so they moved on. Christ did he blossom this year...

Ducks don't have a 1st round pick. They traded it to Dallas at the trade deadline for Eaves.

Some good talent available for Vegas. Marchesault being made available is surprising. Got to think him, Vatanen and Fleury will be picked by Vegas.

looking at our exposed vs protected list is sad lol. I know we have other youth but man that team is freak sad

Vegas got a hockey team? Now, they just need an NBA team.
