GDT: Las Vegas Expansion Draft/Trades

[Hawkaholic]

Emelin , Reinhart , Sbisa and Bellemare reportedly to be picked

McPhee is screwing up ,, Some really awful picks (Emelin is trash at this point and Reinhart is busting hard)

Reinhart was the best available from EDM, but yeah, don't understand the Emelin or Sbisa pick ups.

 

[Any Colour You Like]

What did MTL pay for Vegas to not take Hudon? Horrible move.

Reinhart I kind of understand, but I would've taken Brossoit for goaltending depth or as a possible trade piece. Sbisa... I mean, Vancouver didn't really have anyone of value to take, but Sbisa is just a plain dumb move.

Hudon? Not that high on him, I thought they would take Davidson.

Brossoit was probably next on my list to take, but they don't seem to be going for too many G's, mainly Dmen, and goalies don't have near the trade value as Dmen IMO.

[Blackhawkswincup]

LOL Foley messed it up and made Stars pick instead of Wings

Acquire Reilly Smith from Panthers as part of that selection while Panthers get a 2018 4th round pick

Vegas acquires RW Nikita Gusev + 2017 2nd round pick + 2018 4th round pick from TB

[Hawkaholic]

This team is so much worse than I thought it would be so far.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Interesting they are keeping Vegas/Jets trade hush hush

Will announce it at end of show

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Chris Thorburn has played 750 games in the NHL.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I have liked the trades ,, TB and NYI one's are very good for Vegas setting itself up for future

 

[featherhawk]

a lot of terrible selections so far IMO. if they don't flip most of the washed up declining 30 somethings they are going to stink.

Likely cost for WPG to protect Enstrom is moving some slots within first round of Friday's draft, and additional draft pick. Details tonite.

I don't get the whole not announcing trades thing...

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I don't get the whole not announcing trades thing...

They have announced several

But the Jets deal they held back on which is interesting

They announced Islander , Lightning and Florida deals which were pretty big (Isles gave up 1st and TB gave up good young prospect + 2nd + 4th)

 

[emeyezee]

Wow I just saw that Vegas taking Neal gives Nashville $5 million extra in cap space meaning they have close to TWENTY-THREE million total available.

They both paid a very high price.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Canes gave up 2017 5th so that Vegas wouldn't select Joakim Nordstrom

They also have to resign Johansen, Arvidsson, and a few others.

I would have took Stempniak and traded him at the deadline.

Bowman finishes 8th in GM voting, Q finishes 4th in Jack Adams.
