TrueBlueGED Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Agreed. I think GMs looking to deal D are trying to allow trades like the Hall and Drouin ones to set the precedent, and other teams are hesitant to join that club. Yea, I think the teams with the established D are just asking for the stars and the moon. I blame Chiarelli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 David Pagnotta @TheFourthPeriod 2m2 minutes agoMore My understanding, as part of Ducks/Knights expected trade, is Vatanen will end up in Vegas. Other parameters to deal, but that's main part. 5minutes left before the freeze Minn. not making a trade by 3pm. They are holding so must either have a deal with Vegas or will need to make one.

tom webster Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 I think it's possible VGK will come out of Wednesday with 4 or 5 first rounders and a couple of high second rounders if they want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 @DarrenDreger Doesn't sound like there is progress being made as Nashville tries to encourage Vegas from locking on to a player the Preds want to keep. @FriedgeHNIC Word is Tobias Enstrom has done WIN a huge favour, agreed to waive his NMC to help the Jets with the expansion draft. @FriedgeHNIC Because of protection issues, word is FLA's Jonathan Marchessault is potentially available. 30 goals, great contract. Nashville is going to lose a good player. Looking at the expansion tool and I'm guessing Nashville keeps their top-4 D... Maybe Sissons? LV can take Enstrom now. That'd be a really solid pickup.

Huckleberry Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Las Vegas is in such a good position now, they can just pick up Vatanen, Brodin, Ryan Murray, Pysyk, methot, harmonic, enstrom and start with a better D than ours :blink: Edited June 17, 2017 by Huckleberry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not a bad contract in the bunch -- Enstrom is a tiny bit high, but only a year remaining -- a great midseason trade option. Plus adding a #4 like Makar/Heiskanen if I was going defense-first mentality. Neither Vatanen nor Brodin moved today, meaning there have got to be some nice trades in place so that their teams get something in return. If you're Anaheim's or MN's GM and you lose them for nothing, after having months to plan, then you're a horrible manager of contracts.

DarthEbriate Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 rumor is that Vegas has at least 3 additional 1st round picks to protect players for teams that can't protect all of them. Yup, that's what I'd expect. <finger steepling> Excellent... This could bode well for us to lose a bad contract. If they're getting a backup/lesser quality player + a 1st from Team X -- then they're more likely to get a bad contract and a starter from some of the other teams with whom they might not have deals. They won't have trouble getting to the cap floor -- just ask Andrej Meszaros -- but if they can't take Vatanen/Brodin etc., then Bogosian and the money is much more enticing.
