LGW has been down for basically that entire time. It only came back like 2 days ago

Stop being so sensitive

Just seems like the perfect fit for them, as it's the only questionable position they have.

Oh look, the discord riff raff is back

Only a full NMC is forced protection. Anything less then that does not have to be protected. That's how it was with the Vegas draft. Nielsen had a full NMC at that time. Now he has a modified no trade clause only. Either include a list of seven forwards, three defensemen, and one goaltender OR eight skaters (forwards/defensemen) and one goaltender Players with a "No Movement" clause must be protected if the player does not waive the clause First and second-year professional players and unsigned draft picks are not eligible for the expansion draft and won't need to be protected All other players are eligible for the Expansion Draft Nielsen is on a modified NTC where he has to submit a list of ten teams he's not willing to play for. Therefore he falls under "All other players are eligible for the Expansion Draft."

Canes will 100% nab Askarov

just the first round. every other round is determined by standings and playoff results.

If there truly are hockey gods, the Jets will get #1. I get physically ill at the thought of it going to Edmonton, Pittsburgh, or Toronto.

Nielsen has a modified no trade clause, no protection required.

I personally think Drysdale would be a much better pairing for Seider. I think Seider is the type of dman you want to pair with someone who is high scoring. It would allow a kid like Drysdale to take more risks. Then having guys likme Drysdale and Hronek to quarter back each pp unit. That's what makes me randy.

This. We have two sure dmen in Hronek and Seider. Lidstrom will likely be a third pairing dman, which is fine. But we still need a top pairing dman and a second pairing dman. It's still very much our weakest position.

This is basically where I am at. I'm fully on board seeing these playoffs not only not happen, but I am all for another lockout or strike. f*** these owners.

I feel it's Laffy, Byfield/Drysdale. I do think Byfield has the highest bust potential, which is what worries me about him. A very high ceiling, but I am concerned about his floor. Laffy and Drysdale I feel will be among the best at their positions in due time. Stutzle I feel is the safest center in the draft. I just don't think he'll be a better center than Drysdale will be a dman. Not to mention being stacked on the blueline in a few years opens up many trade options for help up front... or in goal.

Just imagine if we draft Drysdale and suddenly have a huge logjam of really good dmen in the next couple years. Yzerman would be big time trading from a position of strength.

I mean, any Atlantic province with a half sensible arena should have been looked at. If the league paid attention, they'd realize they can have fans for games on the east coast based on their timeline. It wouldn't be enough to move the needle for league income, as they'd have to keep ticket prices in check to fill the house every game. But it would come off a hell of a lot better on TV.
