Expansion Draft II

[The Madrigal]

Pittsburgh did MAF... he could waive it like he would have for a trade, and figure on either a LV trade... or his playing there if selected.

 

[Sawdalite]

Yep but they don't have cap issues right now and they will have an additional 8 million coming off the books in 2018 with Filppula and Read so who cares.

I understand... just bringing up the fact. And it would be even more so with Read there.

 

[Sawdalite]

I tried.

 

[Sawdalite]

Okay... lets mull this one... Does LV take Jagr?

... Doan?

... Iginla?

There could be some interesting selections if the Knights so chose.

Florida has enough good players exposed that VGK should wait until July 1 to sign Jagr

No, no and no.

[Sawdalite]

No, no and no.

What is your answer then.

He learned to say that 'Sports Agent 101' Class.


... It's a done deal... trust me.

If Vegas takes Neuvirth or Bellemare the Flyers could end up with a fourth line of Raffl, Laughton, and Weise which probably be one of the best fourth lines they have ever had.

Or if we add Weal too:

Lindblom Giroux Voracek
TK Nico/Nolan Simmonds
Weise Couts Schenn
Weal Flip Raffl

Now that is 4 lines that you could role for 2 periods then shorten up later in the game based on who is playing the best.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Probably but they'd be dumb not to hear LV out these next few days when Weal's not allowed to sign with the Flyers anyway.

I forgot that Jagr is not under Contract next Season.

He still calls all the shots... as would the others. And I suppose having a jump on them means little to nothing.

Just trying to make it interesting on here.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

All three of them aren't under contract for the next year currently.

 

[Sawdalite]

As long as a handshake agreement was not made and he's merely not letting on to the fact.

I agree with you in theory... I just think it is cut and dried.

Now, I guess it is possible that the length was agreed upon as reported, but the amount is REALLY not... and any LV Offer could weigh into the matter.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Biggest shock to me in all these lists is Coburn being protected I think. The Minnesota situation and other teams with good players exposed I think will be worked out with draft picks being sent out to not take a guy.

That was what was alluding to... Never Mind. haha

Neal being left unprotected came as a pretty big shock to Predators fans.

I could see Tampa maybe offering up a pick for LV to avoid Jake Dotchin but other than that they're not really leaving a whole lot there to lose any sleep over.

 

[Curufinwe]

It was a bit surprising, but it's smart management to protect the younger, cost controlled guy, even if he's not as good.

A year from now Neal will be a 30 year old UFA. And he's a long way removed from his 80-point heyday.

The Isles giving up the 15th pick just so one of Bailey or Cizikas doesn't get poached is just mind blowing. How is this even slightly defensible?

Thank goodness for Hextall.

 

[Curufinwe]

Jack Johnson isn't even that good. And he's 30.

I thought it was to stay away from other forwards like Strome, etc...??

Is this true or just rumor?

I refuse to believe that's right. Even for Snow

I like how other teams are giving up low 1sts and the Isles are giving up the 15th. They're just such a good organization to make a trade with. They could have protected Tavares, Lee, Nelson, Ladd (nice signing again).....deHaan, Hamonic, Leddy, Boychuk. So they lose Pulock or Strome, that's manageable. Could've traded someone to free up room too. They really didn't even have to do this deal with smarts and or planning.

Meanwhile Hextall gets assets back for a 4th liner he wasn't going to protect and a goalie prospect who wasn't going to sign here, and he protects young assets with upside like Stolarz and Laughton over older journeyman players like Neuvirth and Bellemare, and you still have people calling him a buffoon.
