kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted May 30, 2017 9 minutes ago, krsmith17 said: The NHL expansion draft is on June 21st. Vegas' free agent window opens 72 hours prior at 10am on June 18th, at which time the NHL will release all 30 teams' protected lists. I expect we will see some trades in the coming weeks leading up to the 18th. Hopefully Holland gets involved and makes some big moves to shed some bad contracts and free up some cap space. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk I don't think you understand what the sport of Basketball is. You can't jog or run with a leg cramp or a rolled ankle. But you can for sure skate on ice with a leg cramp and rolled ankle. Hell you can even skate with ruptured tendons in your foot (Datsyuk) or a fractured ankle (I've did this back in High School) if you wanted to. But you for sure can't run on a basketball court with those. Edited June 1, 2017 by kickazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a total crosby!, oops, I mean crybaby. You're right there's no players in the NHL that complain about calls. He would never last a shift playing beside the likes of Nyquist. 1 BadgerBob reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) I like Steph Curry and the Warriors more anyway. So I'm not sure why I'm defending Laybron. Yeah he's a cry baby!! Booo. Lamebron sucks. Edited June 1, 2017 by kickazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kliq 3,755 Report post Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) I'm not a fan of LaBron James, but to say he is not tough enough for the NHL is a joke. He is a crybaby, but I don't see how he is any different then Crosby. The majority of the crap LaBron pulls is a part of the culture of the NBA anyways. Guys dive like crazy in an attempt to get "And 1's" all the time. Also, like @kickazz said, anyone who has studied kinesiology knows that you cannot play Basketball if your quadriceps muscle is in full spasm. I dont care if you are LaBron James, Scott Stevens or Gordie Howe. The muscle stops working. Edited June 1, 2017 by kliq Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(or trade them Sheahan on the condition they draft E) http://www.tsn.ca/golden-knights-close-to-agreement-for-van-riemsdyk-kruger-1.766336 That deal doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Nothing special about Van Riemsdyk that I see, and Vegas should have no shortage of mediocre forwards to choose from. I guess they'd be getting two players instead of one, but they're already going to be drafted 30 players. The quality of available defensemen looks like it will be higher than that of available forwards, so if I was Vegas I don't know that I'd want Van Riemsdyk anyway. I think I'd want them to protect him so I could take Hartman. And if they protect Hartman, fine, it means they expose Van Riemsdyk and I get him without having to take Kruger. But I guess maybe they might actually like Kruger. A Sheahan deal certainly seems plausible (though I would try to unload Helm or Howard ahead of E). Of course, given the season he just had and even the prior one, they might not see much value in him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted June 2, 2017 Man Didn't know van riemsdyk was so good that a team would be forced to take another contract tsn an had a mock draft and button and some other guy both had Vegas taking Ryan sproul which is not what I wanna see happen, still had nice upside especially for the ppl i wanna trade mike green to oilers even more (yes I know it won't happen) and protect ouellet sproul dekeyser ... I like Jensen but he's a 5-6 , ouellet just reminds me of vlasic , not crazy stats but good and reliable, sproul has the right handed shot and upside for the ppl and dekeyser struggled last season but so did most of the team and he's playing out of position so I'm not ready to give up on him 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
