    Red Wings Expansion Draft Protected List

    Well neither have a contract with the wings anymore soooo.. he isn't?
  2. Agreed except minus the awards.. just like tweet em out or something
  3. wait who's getting the pick? This would make it a little better but for their fanbase's sake, I hope Florida has more planned for that cap space. Then again, someone in our division got weaker.. hope they're done dealing Same. And pickard was one of the highly toughted up and coming goalies.. or so I thought. Might end up being a steal for Vegas after fleury is gone.
  4. Yup hahaha like Vegas would've picked him or they would've suffered even more without him or something.... more surprising than the Howard over mrazek protect imo
  5. They wanted to get rid of smiths contract.. just another example of how high prices to pick Vegas' picks were. Crazy..
  6. Pickard is a great pick up for Vegas. Still can't believe Colorado didn't protect him.

    Possibly, sure. I haven't seen any mention of it yet though so we'll see.

    No, there will be more. They want to stock up with some guys that could potentially be on the team a long time.. Griffin Reinhart from EDM and Brendan Leipsic from TOR are already rumored to be picked by Vegas.

    Hossa's Career Might Be Over Already

    If Hossa actually decides he's done, they'd trade his contract to a team trying to reach the cap floor and get something back before putting him on LTIR.. either way, it's not like it's something that hasn't been done before.
  10. We still have hope for Frk-Ehn-Foo... I can imagine Mickey now: "Frk, over to Ehn! He passes to Foo for the one timer. Goooal! FRKEHN FOO, WHAT A GOAL! WOO DOGGIE!"

    Yeah they did well here for sure. Especially considering the players that were unprotected.. the isles have definitely had worse moves

    Red Wings Expansion Draft Protected List

    15th overall pick is a pretty decent haul for Vegas.. I don't know about robbed. Now the question is, what do the isles give up for duchene and/or eberle?

    Hopefully it's true and then mrazek pulls a hasek like you posted earlier

    Looking ahead at expansion draft

    Heard they're announcing the claims from teams in the reverse order of standings in four groups during the NHL awards (7-9pm tonight) so I'd guess that the wings announcement will be in the first group closer to 7:00pm

    The ducks are very much in win now mode so who knows. But Lebrun was apparently on a tsn radio station refuting Theodore going to Vegas and saying if that really is Vegas' price, they could end up just letting them take Vatanen instead or that they could be giving up their first next year instead of Theodore. I agree that either of those seem more likely from Anaheim's perspective.. we'll see tonight I suppose.

    http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2017/06/21/skin-disorder-will-force-marian-hossa-to-miss-all-of-2017-18-season/ Sad news for any player. Get well soon.

    I think this would at least get the conversation going and probably be enough. But if I'm Vegas, I probably think very hard about keeping Theodore as my potential future franchise defenseman.

    Hossa's Career Might Be Over Already

    12 year actually.. crazy. And his cap hit is 5.25 while the actual salary is 1 mill for the next four years before it's over. Watch him be done and Arizona trade them some young stud who tears it up on a 700k contract.

    Probably something like svech/AA + 2018 1st gets it done.. or maybe svech/AA + 2018 2nd + one of our defensive prospects To clarify, just in case... by svech/AA I mean one of them, definitely not both.

    More than likely, yes. Still exciting though.

    Because Sheahan had trade interest at the deadline.. that comes to mind. Teams might not have been offering much.. but if other GMs are calling about trading for a player, you don't pay another team to take him. If we really wanted to be done with Sheahan, we could get at least a third for him.. maybe more. They might take him unprovoked anyway. Especially if one of those teams calls Vegas and says they'll give a pick for Sheahan. Couple that with probably not getting calls about any other wings (my speculation), and I could see Sheahan being the odd man out.
