Seems like you did this draft assuming every rumor that is out there is wrong...

I think Murray has more than a Vegas deal in place and I want to wait and see what plays out with Theodore.

The fan in me wants the leafs a part of that bigger deal.

But it’s not happening.

But you ignored direct and specific first hand real information from the guy making the picks.

Wow, really gunning for that 2018 1st overall pick eh. That team is about as bad as it could be coming out of this expansion draft.

George McPhee: "We're going to have to move some defencemen because we're going to claim a bunch."

you don't pick up backup goalies to move them for 3rd or 4th round picks.

GM's are overpaying for dmen.


Prediction: 10/30 picks correct.

- Tumbleweed



yeah, it's not even close.

Bobby Ryan. One of the worst contracts in the entire league. No value, would have to add picks to get rid of him.

But Vegas is going to pick him up? Not a chance in hell.

They'll take a dman from the senatards, because their GM was too stupid to figure out Phaneuf had an NMC when they traded for him, and trade him off to someone else for a pick. Most likely Methot.

I would expect James Neal of NSH to be claimed by VGK in expansion draft, but remains to be seen how long he's there.


That's one correct.

Defense is atrocious, and way too many goalies picked, could easily fix by picking more defense for their team and to be flipped, which is prolly what LV will do.
