Didnt NYR receive 20 million dollars from Vegas to enter the league.
Not exactly a terrible return for Lindberg. Plus the market grows, everyone wins.

They are pretty cautious or slow, though

Tough break losing Oscar but thats the price for expansion. We could have kept him for a draft pick. Other teams lost out as well. I wish Oscar luck. In HF tradition Id like to get him back soon. 
Well I don't think they'll announce any of them after the awards show tonight, even though they technically can. I'd expect the deals to wait until after the freeze is lifted tomorrow at 8AM.

What the **** does money do for the fans?! And tell my why a league with stagnant revenue over the last three years decides it needs another team to bleed money in a desert?

I guess that's for their escrow acount so when the novelty wears off in two or three years the league can give them their money back until it becomes a net loss, and every team still will have given up an asset for nothing!

it's baseless speculation. i don't see why we would give vegas anything to take lindberg over raanta.

My position would be the same regardless of whom they took. The league is too big already and parity has sapped the life of the game.

Not entirely baseless considering it's possible the Jets made a deal for them not to select Enstrom.

Other than building a brand in a weak tv market that no doubt will rely on selling tickets. I mean, what's the urgency when football is only a few years away taking up all the attention?
I thought they would try to make the playoffs right out of the gate. Come roaring out of the gate with a solid defense and goaltending. Flip the extra 7 players for decent forwards and prospects. They would have had a shot of being relevant before the raiders show up and make hockey an after thought until February.

Big deal we lost a 4th line center. Other teams are losing impact players or first round picks to not do so.

We have since learned they didn't.

That's not a comparable other than for the fact that the rules permit such an arrangement being made.

A lot of them also unloaded a ton of terrible players for the 1st round picks. The Islanders are going to have the cap space now to target a sought after top 6 player to surround Tavares with which may lead to Tavares being more inclined to stay.
