[holden57]

James Neal available for a top 4 defenceman. 29th overall on the block as well.

-------------------------------------------------------------



Still looking for a starting goalie. Lots of prospects available.

 

[Dabeast]

looking to move Lupul,Martin, and Corrado (QO) in the offseason

Still this

 

[CaptPantalones]

:coyotes making 6th pick available in a trade for a young winger

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

We are looking to package the 7th and 16th Overall to move up, or package them to acquire a top-end playmaker.

 

[VanIslander]

The first trio of Golden Knights are set!

Vegas Golden Knights

LW - C - Radim Vrbata
LW -David Desharnais - RW

Jonathan Bernier

Jonathan Bernier is offered a $25 million, 5-year contract.
Radim Vrbata is offered a $20 million, 4-year deal.
David Desharnais is offered a $12 million, 4-year deal.
​

 

[VanIslander]

Needless to say, any PM negotiations (there's been some) with Anaheim Ducks, Arizona Coyotes and/or Montreal Canadiens GMs are null and void.

The expansion Vegas team's picks from these three franchises are locked and loaded.

 

[VanIslander]

All other offers sent are up and running...

Bernier was traded to Tampa Bay in this game

LOL fail. Also, why would you select Radim Vrbata and David Desharnais, only to offer them way bigger contracts than they would ever receive in UFA? Why not just pick a different asset from that team and overpay for them in UFA?

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Our 1st is in play for a forward

Still this, last call!

 

[Joel Ward]

Well in VanIslander's defense - I along with the majority of other GM's did not list players that were exposed, but it is obviously a good idea to consult the trades/draft thread when making these selections. I will add that to the Vegas expansion rules in future games.

To be honest I would've made the same mistake.

 

[Joel Ward]

We will listen to offers on Braydon Coburn and Ryan Callahan. Wouldn't mind moving them out to clear some cap space, but we won't be giving them away for free as they are still useful players.

Still looking at dealing picks and prospects for an affordable roster player.

PM

 

[Peter Griffin]

Vancouver is also very happy to announce we have re-signed Bo Horvat to an 8 year contract worth a total of $42.8M.

In addition to re-signing Bo Horvat, Vancouver announces they have re-signed the following RFA's:

Erik Gudbranson, 4 years, $16M($4M AAV)
Nikita Tryamkin, 2 years, $3.5M($1.75M AAV)
Anton Rodin, 1 year, $1M
Brendan Gaunce, 2 years, $1.6M($800k AAV)
Michael Chaput, Joe Labate, Andrey Pedan, Alex Grenier, Mike Zalewski and Michael Garteig all accept their QO

Heading into the entry draft, we will entertain the idea of trading Chris Tanev. The asking price is a 1st round pick + a really good prospect, preferably a forward. If you're interested in acquiring one of their premier shutdown defenseman in the NHL, give me a shout.

 

[VanIslander]

Vegas signs Mark Streit to a two-year $12 million, 2-year deal with a NMC.

 

[VanIslander]

Bernier was traded to Tampa Bay in this game

Then why does the trade thread have him listed as traded to Toronto?

 

[Peter Griffin]

Then why does the trade thread have him listed as traded to Toronto?

He was traded to Toronto, immediately placed on waivers and selected by Tampa.

Uh, because Vegas needs to take on a lot of salary in the draft, and the organization doesn't plan on picking a guy just for the sake of a contract: there has to be some on-ice value to the pick. By signing these UFAs, the team can focus on younger, lower contract value picks to build the organization's depth.

 

[VanIslander]

TRADE DEAL



Vegas announces it will be selecting Josh Manson of the Anaheim Ducks and trading him to Nashville for the Preds' 2017 2nd round pick.

That's amazing for Nashville.

 

[Joel Ward]

That's amazing for Nashville.

Yep, Manson is a damn good defender and dirt cheap for another season. Probably a better complement to Josi than Ellis or Subban too.

Maybe he can make Josi somewhat less of a possession anchor....

Probably not.

 

[Avs44]

A 2nd rounder Manson?? Jesus.
