They better be gett a crap ton of picks,
Bc they could've drafted a team MUCH better than this
- jdfitz77

I agree. That has the makings of a pretty bad team when they could have iced a really solid team. Not fair to the Vegas locals who are going to shell out a lot of $$ to watch this team play.

NHL botches everything.

This expansion "draft" is hilariously stupid
- sbroads24

Disagree. It provides interest in an otherwise down hockey week. Especially considering the trades made before AND after the expansion draft

If there was a Vegas Mode in NHL 18 where you got to do the Expansion Draft...

ohhhh boy... I bet it would the most popular thing in the game.

There is going to be. Also you will have an option to create a 32nd team via expansion.

The deals McPhee made with the Wild and Islanders are terrible
- mattmoulson

Idk that they're terrible...

But I'd MUCH rather have Nelson than NyI 1st
Same with Dumba over Tuch & Haula... they could even trade him for more than that I'd think

Especially once the trade guys like Neal, Methot, etc
I feel bad for Fleury

It's possible he could get traded though too. You never know.

nice, im guessing it wont allow for side deals and such but still decent add.

Listening to XM on my way home Patrick O'Sullivan and Stellick I think? they said after Fluery and the other UFA's go, the Pens will have 20 mill to spend. The rich get richer
- SABRES 89

They won't really have that much to spend

Sheary, Dumoulin & Schultz have to be signed
And they need room for Rust & Guentzel coming up

It's possible he could get traded though too. You never know.
- HonkFortheGoose

I guess
All the talk is him being introduced as the face of the franchise though

Of the 23 teams we know..11 d-men have already been taken. Still wating on ARI, BUF, CAR, COL, NJD, WSH & WPG


Guess that kills the slimmest of slim hopes that BADgosian or Gorges were the pick.

VGK is selecting the minimum number of forwards 14

Tomorrow will be another fun day. It sounds like there's a queue of trades ready to be completed when NHL roster freeze lifts at 9 a.m. ET.

You never know, but I would imagine there won't be. I remember nhl01, I always did a Columbus or Minnesota expansion franchise.

Can confirm that Philipp Grubauer *was not* selected by the Vegas Golden Knights. Means it's likely that D Nate Schmidt is the pick.


Ugh... Thinking we could lose Ullmark...

- jdfitz77

55% Carrier 40% ullmark 5% other - delo, faulk kulikov. It will not be Moulsen as moulsen loves but and mcphee doesn't want to disrupt his family

Basically a deadline and no insiders
