Speculation: Roster Building Thread DCLXXX: Viva Las Vegas!

[Jaromir Jagr]

I think this team will be competitive pretty soon. That being said, this is pretty awful to start with. The 3 1st round picks should certainly help within the next few years though.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Bobfather says Carolina is trading for TvR tomorrow. Not sure why, with their defense already pretty good.

Unless they're trading away someone tomorrow...

Not so sure to be honest

TVR is a third pairing guy. Ryan Murphy is projected to be the third pairing RHD for Carolina this upcoming season, but he is garbage

Seems like they're just shoring up the third pair

 

[Ghost of jas]

With Ottawa losing Methot, could Holden be if interest to them?

 

[Lion Hound]

NHL nice job keeping Bettman off the podium.

Kathryn Tappan does a much better job. Please take notice for the entry draft as well.

 

[nyr2k2]

This LV team is going to be ass.

 

[Irishguy42]

This LV team is going to be ass.

Still plenty of moves to be made.

 

[Krams]

Going to Lol when Vegas bombs hard this year and still misses out on 1st overall

 

[nevesis]

Tomorrow is going to be fun.

 

[nyr2k2]

Still plenty of moves to be made.

IDK, GMGM seems to be stocking up on future assets. Doesn't appear to be concerned with this year. Could change, I suppose, but doesn't seem likely.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

dont think were getting anything from vegas.. what would we get TVR is carolina bound for some reason and i dont see much else we'd give up assets for

Their top 4 is set with Slavin, Faulk, Hanifin and Pesce but they have nothing beyond that. Murphy sucks and Bean, McKeown and Fleury probably are not ready.

 

[GregSirico]

What would it take to get VGK's 2018 1R pick?

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

That or theyre trading a top 4 dMan to us for stepan

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Stepan traded tomorrow?

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

What would it take to get VGK's 2018 1R pick?

Probably impossible..
They're tanking for a reason.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Stepan traded tomorrow?

If they move him I think it'll be tomorrow or Friday.

 

[Ail]

Well that ate ten hundred stinky bholes.

 

[eco's bones]

Vegas has a lot of bad contracts to move.

 

[JT Kreider]

What would it take to get VGK's 2018 1R pick?

Impossible, probably the most valuable draft pick in hockey right now.

 

[Irishguy42]

So, chances on tomorrow or Friday being Stepan's last day as a New York Rangers?

 

[GregSirico]

50/50

lol they need them to get to Cap floor for 3-5 years until they have a real NHL team

 

[Thirty One]

Well that ate ten hundred stinky bholes.

a thousand?

 

[Nickmo82]

Surely with Lindberg gone, the odds that Stepan goes become lower.

Our centre depth would be gutted.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Our centre depth would be gutted.

Surely a Stepan trade doesn't preclude them from getting a C somewhere else
