GM Game #2 by donut, CTG, and JW

[VanIslander]

Vegas selects Joffrey Lupul


He's injured but talented, expected to be back on the ice for next season, and is under contract, will be a top-6 winger for the Knights.

 

[Joel Ward]

The Leafs and Rangers thank you .

 

[VanIslander]

Vegas nabs talented dman Derrick Pouliot

The 22 year old former early 1st round pick was not protected by Pittsburgh and so heads to Vegas. His injury recovery and conditioning ought to be easily completed before training camp next fall.

 

[Peter Griffin]

The Leafs and Rangers thank you .

And the Pens for taking Pouliot over Matt Murray! Wow.

 

[VanIslander]

Vegas selects Mirco Mueller

The 22 year old 1st rounder is developing, as many dmen take time to do.

 

[Avs44]

Well, at least you made this interesting VanIsle so I'll give you credit for that, but not taking Matt Murray??? For Pouliot instead???

 

[stempniaksen]

Should be around for the better part of the night to discuss deals. Shopping Jori Lehtera and Carl Gunnarsson. Also willing to move most picks and prospects. Would love to add another 1st/2nd round draft pick before 7:00PM.

 

[Peter Griffin]

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.

Still this. Will be around for the next few hours to discuss trades.

 

[VanIslander]

Vegas selects young blueliners

• Trevor van Riemsdyk of Chicago
• Griffin Reinhart of Edmonton
• Alex Petrovic of Florida

 

[donut]

I'll post the trading block for and after the expansion team is fully announced; though I have a good idea who VI's going to take now considering his selections so far.

 

[stempniaksen]

I'm an idiot

 

[donut]

Blues might potentially be interested if we can avoid giving up the blue-chippers.

To St-Louis: Chris Tanev
To Vancouver: STL 1st + Rattie + Lindblom

I don't think that's how it works

 

[Peter Griffin]

I don't think that's how it works

Definitely not how it's going to work.

 

[Peter Griffin]

So Vegas has selected their 9 defensemen, all forwards and goaltenders from here.

 

[Dabest]

I dibs Vegas next game

 

[Dabeast]

I dibs Vegas next game

Not how it works

 

[VanIslander]

Vegas selects veteran roles

• Darren Helm of Detroit is fast, has some offense, under longterm contract and has lots of time to recover from shoulder injury
• Dustin Brown of Los Angeles is on 30+ point pace, hits, provides leadership
• David Perron of St.Louis is on pace for a 50-point season, is a two-way player

 

[donut]

Lupul, Brown and no Murray? Bold choices VI, bold choices.

 

[Dabeast]

Lupul, Brown and no Murray? Bold choices VI, bold choices.

Dan Girardi

 

[CaptPantalones]

Definitely not how it's going to work.

What is the exact way we're figuring this out? Only because I inquired before the game as well

 

[donut]

Dan Girardi

Oh he took Girardi too? Hmm...

 

[VanIslander]

Vegas selects Matt Dumba

The 22 year old rearguard is developing his defensive game nicely in the NHL.

Blues protected Perron

You already selected 9 defenders though... 8 on your roster + Manson who you traded.

 

[Joel Ward]

Lupul, Brown and no Murray? Bold choices VI, bold choices.

And the Pens for taking Pouliot over Matt Murray! Wow.

Why would he need Murray? He already has his franchise goaltender:
