Kulikov... and his salary would not count towards the cap floor they must reach with expansion picks. Which is fine, because it frees up money to pick higher priced guys like Neal, Bob Ryan, etc...

BUF wouldn't need to trade Kulikov's rights to Vegas. Vegas can negotiate with him right at this very moment and sign him if they agree on terms. He would become BUFs pick. If that happens, or whoever they decide to pick, there is always the option of trading them a Moulson or Bogosian, so I'm not going to be disappointed if neither one of them is the expansion "pick". precisely

no Marchessault? A 25 year old 30 goal scorer making 750k?

I still don't see Antipin as a top 6. He's a depth guy at best, most likely starts the season in Rochester. He's undersized and poor in his own end based on what I saw of him in the Worlds. What exactly does he bring to the table that people are putting him in the top 4?

IB is not a hack. He's a reliable source.

Bogo's problem is he's brain dead in his own end. I can't see how Housleys firewagon attack fixes that.

Why? he's 27 entering his prime. He showed flashes of his old self the last couple weeks of the season. Buy low, sell high, I'm buying.

He hasn't been healthy, but he looked more like his old self down the stretch. He could be Dr. Phil's Arvidsson.

Lots of Ennis hate on here. When healthy he's a dynamic goal scorer, slick puck handler, great is small areas. Even when he's not scoring he makes it difficult on opposing defensemen. If I'm Vegas I try to sign Kulikov during the exclusive window. He would become their pick from BUF. But then also try to trade them Moulson which they could use his veteran leadership and power play expertise. Could happen.

I liked Carrier, surprised to see him unprotected over Larsson/Foligno. Was right about Ennis tho :)

It can be done if you load the desktop version of the site.

He'll be an RFA this summer.

Very Darcyish trade.

Thanks, yeah I'm pretty stoked, as are my kids. Just need to remember to load up on fireworks on the way home. IMO, by today's standards, Larsson is slow. He has decent quickness in small areas, but he won't be the guy leading the rush up ice or winning puck races.... same with Foligno. I just don't think they're good fits. Baptiste would be better, or Bailey, Fasching.

He's not wrong.

I have a source deep inside the Vegas organization who will remain unnamed. Seriously tho, just a hunch based on the way Housley talked about him, and he seems like the type of player who fits his style of play vs slower plodding types like Foligno and Larsson.

He did smoke inside as well. It seemed like whenever he was waiting for his car he had a cigarette in his mouth.

I'd bet anything that Ennis is protected. Replace Larsson or Foligno with Ennis.

Probably late firsts.

somebody gotta leak the BUF list

Great Lakes division... BUF TOR DET CHI MTL OTT etc

I used to park Mogilnys' car at Oliver's. I would often spot him outside smoking.

MTL was going to lose him to Vegas for nothing. They'll protect Weber, Petry, and Emelin. and now they can protect 7 forwards
