Louis Oosthuizen with the near ace at the Open Championship.

Morikawa is dialed in. wow.

I don't think they'll be getting to the Cup final in their first year like Vegas but those guys still have some game left and they'll be competitive IMO.
- LeftCoaster

Vegas got Fleury which was huge. Seattle won’t get anything near as good.

Just read that Pitts also paid Vegas a 2nd round pick to take Fleury.

They only produced five albums so it’s hard to get folks to agree on which one is best. I think I like Regatta de Blanc better than Ghost. I like Synchronicity best but each album has its merits.

Great singles band that’s why their “best of” albums are their best sellers.
- bloatedmosquito

For sure. I am lucky enough to have all 5 and the singles album on vinyl. I enjoy them all. It's just Ghost seems to get slightly more play in my house.

Canucks list

Protected: Boeser, Richardinson, Horvat, Miller, Motte, Pearson, Pettersson, Juolevi, Myers, Schmidt, Demko.

Nothing to lose there. Zack mac I like but not bad compared to other teams.

I think people here are also underestimating Seattle's flexibility. They're not just picking players and making a team, they have a TON of cap space to either take on more players, or sign UFAs. Francis seems a bit more creative than Honest Jim, so I think we'll see some interesting trades come down the wire.

I think they take holtby or lind.

I think Holtby. They can get value out of him when a team gets desperate for a Goalie, or at the TDL for insurance. No risk with his contract expiring.

If I remember right didn't Richardinson have a good playoff in 2020?

I didn't lind on that list you posted.

I never thought of that, Francis could have a deal in place for a player that a certain GM may want, like Tarasenko.

I would laugh if Seattle took McCann after trading for him this yesterday

Tarasenko at 50% (3.75) might be very attractive to some teams.

It’s a goodie. When I was like 11 or 12 I had the Ghosts cover as a poster in my room for years. I had so many album posters then. Those and Farrah Fawcett, Heather Thomas, and Christie Brinkley posters.

3 teams proected 8 and 1, Nashville, Tampa and Toronto, the rest 7-3-1

If he's cleared after his shoulder surgery I'd definitely take him. He's only 29 and he's only got two years left on his deal.

Tampa didn't want to lose Cernak, obviously.

Can't blame them. That is an excellent group of defensemen.

If you are Seattle would you take Klefbom knowing he will be on LTIR. He is a hell of a player if he gets healthy.

- VANTEL

It’s why Toronto made the trade. They know they’ll lose either Kerfoot OR McCann. Guess they figured this was cheaper than dealing with Seattle.

Price?
- 1970vintage

Maybe, but I don’t think Price is a Vezina quality goalie anymore. But he is younger than Fleury who just won it so Price could prove me wrong (which is not hard to do lol).

Not a lot of depth in their farm system then just like Canucks. Would have thought Dumbass would be better than Benning but I guess not

I guess they figured the price of acquiring a middle 6 W/C on a $3ish contract would be more expensive after the expansion draft than before. Just like the Canucks. I’m sure Richardinson would cost more than a 3rd under normal circumstances.

Apples to apples, Fleurie at the expansion draft had just lost his job to Matt Murray, Price was a Conn Smyth consideration (until the final)

Just saying.
