Speculation: Roster Building Thread DCLXXX: Viva Las Vegas!

[Thirty One]

Then who? They can't pass.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Then who? They can't pass.

According to some folks, they took Sbisa, which would be.....something

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

looks like Lindberg might actually have to be the top six forward some of you think he is

 

[GregSirico]

On this roster so far, he's their 2nd line Center.

 

[Hire Sather]

We lose a player for nothing. Terrible day for the team and a damn shame.

We lost him for nothing. NOTHING.

 

[nyr2k2]

Nieves has shown no ability to stay healthy for an entire season. I wouldn't rely on him.

He had one injury-plagued season in his debut pro season. When else has he battled injuries?

We lost him for $20 Million and Another western team to beat up on the road trip

Wut.

based on what? he's probably 4th on the vegas center depth chart at the moment.

What were you expecting to happen?

 

[LeetchisGod]

He had at least two concussions while at Michigan also.

 

[Ghost of jas]

What were you expecting to happen?

Future considerations

 

[Hire Sather]

What were you expecting to happen?

To lose Raanta instead, but no. It always has to hurt.

 

[Leetch3]

Nieves has shown no ability to stay healthy for an entire season. I wouldn't rely on him.

lindberg has had injuries too. no one seemed worried about him

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Lindberg was a guy who ups his game in the playoffs, hate losing that for nothing

 

[nyr2k2]

He had at least two concussions while at Michigan also.

And missed what, two games total?

Lindberg and Fast are always banged up but we always counted on them.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

so we trade for galchenyuck now? yes

 

[Thirty One]

Have we heard a peep out of Washington? That's one of the more interesting spots, IMO, with Schmidt and Grubauer. Think with Raanta and Mrazek staying it's tilting towards Grubauer.

 

[DanielBrassard]

If not Nieves, hopefully we don't spend too much on a 4C

 

[JT Kreider]

so we trade for galchenyuck now? yes

I would do Stepan for Galchenyuk with a slight add. He has shown franchise center potential and that is despite being sabotaged by the horrendous coaching of Therrien.

It was said on twitter by one of the Sportsnet guys (Shannon?) that Vegas took some UFA's and are nearing completion on contracts with them. Maybe they took Oshie and will give him a lucrative deal?

 

[LeetchisGod]

And missed what, two games total?

Lindberg and Fast are always banged up but we always counted on them.

I just wouldn't be so quick to pencil him into the lineup after a injury plagued mediocre year in the AHL. You're setting yourself up for disappointment. I'd bring in a veteran stopgap.

 

[Trxjw]

I was really adamant that McPhee was going to build a strong team and not just tank, but I completely forgot about how awful he is when it comes to evaluating talent.

 

[JimmyG89]

Ship
Haula

That's already 2 better. Eakin likely slots higher. 4th line center.

 

[JohnC]

To lose Raanta instead, but no. It always has to hurt.

But then that'd still be losing a player for NOTHING. NOTHING.
