Honest Bender Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 3RW selection will be Dmitrij Jaskin from the Blues. I think he's signed for $1M next year and then RFA. A guy who has all of the tools but hasn't blossomed yet. He was all over the ice in the Blues vs Predators second round series, if he can build on that performance he can be a very solid third line guy, maybe a weak second liner for stretches. @BobbyClarkeFan16 is up again.

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Las Vegas selects from the San Jose Sharks, left winger Mikkel Boedker. I fully expect him to rebound in Vegas and it's clear he wasn't a good fit in San Jose. With that being said, Boedker is a defensively subs player's with some decent offensive skills. He'll be a good fit on this club and if he rebounds, McPhee has another trade chip in his pocket. Hf101 pm'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought about Grubauer as you can tell from my post above. Pickard also comes on the cheap. It really came down to a coin toss, In my personal mock, I also took Grubauer. I believe Vegas flips/trades whoever does not win the back-up job. 45 minutes ago, hf101 said: I probably would have saved Grubauer as a 3rd or 4th goalie pick up for Vegas as I think they will draft more than 3 goalies making trades to the highest bidders. . McPhee just might pick more than 3 goalies and hold them for hostage.Trading whomever is left, to the highest bidder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he picks guys without having a deal in place, but I do think his extra selections will favor goalie and defence to use in trades.

hf101 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'm going to pick Trevor van Riemsdyke from the Blackhawks with a cap hit of .825M. The Hawks really want to unload Kruger, heh. stick them with the cap issues. @FD19372 is on the clock with a 4C selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kings Redeem LA Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 1 hour ago, Honest Bender said: I agree with the Schmidt pick. He's an underrated defenseman who has potential to shine on an expansion team. One thing is sure though, this team isn't going to be nearly as good as many people think. I know the rules seems very favorable to Vegas and a lot of people are speculating that they will be competitive right away, a bubble playoff team... I really think they'll end up a lot closer to the bottom of the league than they will to a playoff spot. They will be good enough to not get embarrassed every night, better than what we usually think of as "expansion" teams, but not really competitive. As I study and learn on the fly about things Vegas Golden Knights [Ed. note: ] I don't see them being a bubble playoff team either. I see them initially being more a wheeling and dealing operation similar to what @BobbyClarkeFan16 posted. Perhaps with a couple of the goaltenders, from among the relatively good crop available, that they could snag along the way and toward expansion draft end depending on how picks shake out. The expansion draft rules do seem favorable in some respects, but they're still gonna work out in a way that will likely keep Vegas from being dangerous at first. Not gonna get even a proven pretty good player from each team. And the rules have other issues too! For example I want to know why the NHL isn't mandating the Golden Knights take both Gaborik and Brown from LA! We fans, this team, needs less overpriced escalating headache as it gears up to try to make the playoffs again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holland has been falling asleep face first in his oatmeal at team meetings for three or four years, lol. That is why I thought that I missed something with AA.

AJgoal Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 After reviewing the available lists, specifically the one for Montreal, and with approximately 35 million in cap space remaining, Las Vegas selects unrestricted free agent Alexander Radulov. Risky picking a UFA, but I think Vegas can come to an agreement and add a talented winger to their draft. Contracts: 14 Total Cap Hit: 40.53 @pilldoc is on the clock, looking for a LW.

Wow going for the home run. Best UFA in this years market, either Radulov or Shattenkirk. If this occurs, the offseason of Montreal's discontent will continue.

Honest Bender Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'm already not impressed with the name and logo/uniform for Vegas. Other than non-traditional markets sticking together, I have no interest in rooting for this team... And if they land Radulov then they go straight up my dislike list. Though in a way it would be good to give Nashville fans something to hate on right out of the gate, it would at least make the first seasons a little more interesting before any real hate can build up.

pilldoc Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Wow! Slim pickings for the 4LW spot. Looked at what was left left from the available teams and there was nothing that jumped out at you and said ..."pick me" I did manage to come across a few names that might tempt Vegas. In no particular order except alphabetical: Anaheim: Nicholas Kerdiles (face it...there is some type of deal to protect Vantanen and Manson) Boston: Matt Belesky ...with that contract...a 1000x NO Buffalo: Moulson ..again with that contract ...1000x NO Buffalo: William Carrier Columbus: Matt Calvert Toronto: Kirby Rychel Toronto: Brendan Leipsic Other notable LW not listed above, Patrick Sharp / Mike Cammalleri. Vegas is not interested in these two at the time simply because of their age and contract / price tag. I honestly think it is a 3 man race at this point. Kerdiles / Carrier / Rychel And the pick is ......... William Carrier (LW) - Buffalo Sabres A gritty, fast skating player, who has a bit of scoring touch would certainly be welcomed by the Knights. At one point last year with the Sabres he was promoted to the top line. Only age 22 and a cap hit of only $689K, he could help form a formidable 4th line for the Knights. Besides from what I have read, Sabres fans REALLY want to rid themselves of Moulson's contract the same way Flyer fans want Vegas to take McDud. Let them lose a young player for once and eat the big contract........ @yave1964 you are now on the clock for the Knights - 5D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
