In all honesty they'll probably pick Wideman

Methot will be taken and flipped to Montreal.

Absolutely no chance they take on Ryan's contract without incentives, unless they have a side deal to trade him. Absolutely no chance they don't take Flower and keep him at this point. 2/10.

>>76640115
why the fuck would they want 50 year old Jagr? It's an expansion team, their focus is the future. Marchessault makes way more sense.

>>76637868
Go sharks baby! This guy is a real vegan

why is pelech protected, while clutterbuck, strome, de haan, mayfield, hickey, etc are all exposed? Does new york into hockey?

what kind of super-secret backroom deal requires antics like this?

>>76640141

When silferberg for Ryan happened

Would anyone say that Ottawa won it in the first 2 years after the trade, and then after the first 2 years to now, anahaeim won?

>>76640438
He is already learning from Puljujärvi

>>76640740

Correction:
Ottawa won for the first 3 years of trade

Now Anaheim is going to cash in and has the better player for the next several years

>>76640724
realistically only de haan would have been protected instead of pelech. mayfield, hickey, and clutterbuck aren't worth being protected, and strome is just too inconsistent.

as to why snow did it, beats me. only thing i can think of is there being a trade partner that wants pelech as part of a bigger deal. that does bear the question of why they haven't already traded though

>>76638829
Nothing against Methot, but there are so many good young dmen available, I don't see them even considering him. Though, Ottawa doesn't have much worth taking...maybe they flip him and get a draft pick/prospect?

I'm relived, there are at least 15-20 options better than him. Still pissed at chia for giving a 1st and early 2nd in a deep 2015 draft for him , but his other trades have made up for it .

vegas would be smart to take pitllick, they either take him, Khaira or brossoit

why does everyone think they want Calvin Pickard?
He sucks, when Varlamov went out the season tanked in a noticeably extreme way. Pickard had his chance to prove something and did not deliver. He just exposed how much the Avs really are just Varlamov babbies, without him they go nowhere.

Pickard is in no way ready to be an NHL Fringe Starter, he is barely an adequate back up.
You'd be crazy to pass on Fluery and take Pickard.

>>76640964

They can make the playoffs because the Pacific isn't very good. At this point, Anaheim and Edmonton seem like the only teams in the division who are a lock for the playoffs next year. Obviously things like injuries, trades, free agent signings etc can change things but that Pacific #3 seed looks wide open for the taking.

so that's why Vegas paid 500 million dollars, so they can get an unfair advantage that no other expansion team has ever had before? these unprotected lists are bullshit.
I'm sure George McPhee has already made deals with teams on who not to take. Is Fleury really going to Vegas? There's no other competitive teams that Fleury can go to like Calgary?

Bet you also Believe atlantas was due to "poor attendance" lol. Atlanta moved because the owner group wanted the Apehoop Hawks.

Minnisota moved because youll.make more money in Texas than Buttfuck nowhere minnisota

The North Stars were extremely profitable.
You'd have to be a next level retard to not make money selling hockey in Minnesota

But an owner is willing to take a 40 million dollar loss every season by moving from Minnesota to Texas if they don't need to come up with 600 million in 3 years to pay for their own arena.

should I post the attendance from before pedosodas failed cup run? you know the numbers that the owner was citing?

or perhaps ill show the attendance of the jets, who never had a sellout season despite being in the league for 16 years

>>76645899

Kinda like nashvilles 18 years without a sellout season?

Or any starting small market franchise?

Because the tax payers wouldnt pay for his new arena. Atlantas owner got caught doing the same thing

if the community supported their team why couldnt they pay for an arena lmao

Maybe because they too have to pay some insanely high taxes at the moment, or the city doesn't need a new arena

Lol I just joined in 2 replies ago. Winnipeg is better franchise than /yourteam/

>>76646487

And we didn't have to wait until Wednesday or watch the shitty NHL awards show.

>>76646556
Waiting 'til Wednesday I'm okay with. Anticipation is part of the fun.
But there's no way it'd be during the awards show.
It'd be it's own crazy fucking spectacle, with its own 3 hour pre-draft special where NBC trots out whatever joker they decide is gonna be their Mel Kiper to break down every single potential pick.
We haven't had an expansion draft in any sport since social media has blown up. Seems like a missed opportunity for all kinds of fun gamesmanship between the two expansion teams.

>>76646487
Of course. But Bettman is greedy for a Vegas team instead of a Quebec team

>>76646661
Wednesday will be a good day if you are the hurricanes. Nobody will take your guys regardless. However, the Penguins and ducks are fucked because they could lose vatanen, fleury, rust, or Manson

>Draft night is during Juhannus
WHAT THE FUCK IS THEIR PROBLEM

>>76646694
The Pens have already come to terms with losing Fleury. They've known that's going to be the case for a while and they're ready to hand the bulk of the work in goal over to Murray full-time.
As nice as it is to have two quality goalies, you can only play one goalie at a time. Losing one of them is better than losing a quality young skater like Rust or Dumoulin.

>>76646924
I don't see any scenario in which Vegas takes Rust over Fleury
I know there's other goalies out there, but none are as talented or accomplished as Fleury. And when you look at it from a marketing standpoint, when those fans walk through the doors on the first opening night, whose jerseys are they going to be wearing? Fleury is the biggest name available and sets up to be the face of the franchise in its early years.

Bryan Rust, on the other hand, is Colby Armstrong.

Kroenke is clearly going to relocate the Avalanche in a few years, might as well start make the transition from day one.
Arizona is too shit to switch to, so all the hopes rest on Vegas. Vegas is a short flight from Denver anyway.

Its sad, but I've witnessed enough of Kroenke tactics to notice them. He will kill the Colorado hockey market then uproot them to a new city to receive the revenue boost without ever having to put a good team on the ice.
He does that shit all the time, its just ruthless business practices.

>>76649600
Watch them move to Seattle or Utah because of "hockey culture" needing to grow, but they aren't bad markets

>>76649653
well the other issue is Kroenke owns the Nuggets, its a conflict of interest to have two of your teams competing in the same market.

Rumor is he loves the nuggets, so that means its the Avs that are getting shit on. And so far that has proven true. The Nuggets are managed like a team that cares and the Avalanche aren't.

Im sure he also knows competing against the Denver Broncos with two teams is bad business. Broncos will shit on everyone no matter what.

Golden Knights was a shit name choice in general, but what can you do.
I can probably name 5 better team names than Golden Knights just off the top of my head.
>Las Vegas Outlaws
>Las Vegas Aces
>Las Vegas Pioneers
>Las Vegas Miners
>Las Vegas Bandits

bonus: Las Vegas Mutants (homage to the nuclear tests by the government)

Probably didn't want to replicate the London Knights logo?
.. Then again, they could've gone for another name
Don't mind the logo though, think its okay

Aces is based desu
Shame they couldn't take gambling related names :/

Yeah, its a ntaural fit but I get that they have to try to stay away from gambling or Wayne Gretzky will buy the team.

It'd be stupid PR to move the Avs though and expect angry Coloradans to still blindly support his ownership of the Nuggets
Avs are gonna stay. He probably won't give two shits about them, but he's stuck with them.

>Las Vegas Wranglers
>Las Vegas Scorpions
>Las Vegas Jacks with sweet jackrabbit logo
>Las Vegas Coyotes

Canucks needs improvements on almost every position, right?
New goalie
Better D pairings
Better O
Tbh, doubt they'll improve noteably as long as the Sedins are around

Vancouver won't get better until they can meme their way to a couple first overalls or at the very least top 3 picks. Getting gifted superstars from winning the lottery in the right year(s) is the only way to compete for Cups in this shit league.
