Are there any good goalie prospects in this draft?
- Aetherial

I haven't seen any hype around anyone, plus with drafting goalies high you never know what you're getting. Chet Pickard was supposed to be the guy to take over from Rinne, Campbell was supposed to be the Stars starter by now and there was that guy that busted out hard for the Wings. Anyone remember Visentine?

All pretty high picks, while guys like Domingue, Mrazek, and Jones have been great and they were all late round picks and Jones was a FA

But then maybe you end up with Gibson or Allen.

I feel sorry for this person that has to deal with me in an hour.

I'm going 4/30/16 aardvark on their ass

I.e. Pounding beers till I get a call back.

Customer is always right if you complain enough you'll get what you want

A lot of teams get there starter through trade. That's the route I would go

Carter hart seems to be rated early 2nd round.

I know drafting a goalie might not be what everyone wants but Tyler Parsons should be turning heads. He's improved drastically this year and had the best Save% and GAA in the O this year. We have a lot of 2nd round picks he's a London Knight. Seems like the pieces fit.

Good Lord, there is a new blog up from you know who, that may even eclipse the previous blogs for dumbness.

I dont know if this is allowed...but this made me laugh.. the way he segues from cup contender to the Sabres

I personally think that Stamkos will be fine with a center-wing hybrid scenario as long as the team is a legit Stanley Cup contender.

There are only a handful of team who can enter the Stamkos sweepstakes now that Toronto is seemingly out of it.

The Buffalo Sabres will be right there at the front of the line when the Stammer Sweeps open on July 1.

I don't know what Murray has really done that Bernier didn't do with the Kings so to speak. I'm just constantly leary about goaltenders now.

Yeah same.. he just looks solid.. but goalies always seem to come out of nowhere..

how many goalies are they allowed to protect in the expansion draft?

Fair point. Let another team burn a pick, develop them and then forced into moving them for beans.

I'll be curious to see what happens with Andersen, Howard, Reimer and if Dallas decides to move on from someone.

Is it him, or the team in front of him.

1 goalie, 3 D and 7 F, or 1 goalie and 8 skaters

Why are the leafs out and how do you (not you) mention cup contenders and the mention the Sabres.

How that worked out for the Leafs ... Toskala, Raycroft (for Rask ), Bernier ...

This is a thing in junior. People lost their minds for Tristan Jarry and whoever that kid on the Mooseheads was, but they played on dominant junior teams that sometimes wouldn't give up 20 shots a game.

Meanwhile some of the better goalie to come out of junior have had average stats but they face 40 shots a night.

Connor Ingram might be worth a mid-late pick.

But you had dumbies running the club then. Like citing GAA for a reason Bernier was a good idea.

that's rough for teams who got a lot of no-movement clauses

Gawd, Bernier gave us some of the worst goaltending I have ever seen early this year.

One thing for sure, the Leafs are going nowhere fast until they find a goalie.

I think its hilarious. Columbus has Dubinsky, Hartnell, Clarkson, Foligno and Tyutin I think. Mix in protecting Jones, Murray and Jenner and Bobrovsky and they've got a lot of talent up for grabs.

The Kings probably can't wait to ditch Brown.

Sure makes NMC's for Bieksa and Girardi a tough thing for the Ducks and Rangers tough to get out of.

Sign Stammer. Sign Zaitsev, Vesey, Demers, and PAP. Trade JVR/Kapanen/Pitt 1st for Freddie Anderson/Vatanen/2nd.

Vesey-Stammer-Nylander
Lupul-Matthews-Hyman
Sosh-Kadri-PAP
Komagod-Laich-Greening

Rielly/Vatanen
Gards/Zaitsev
Hunwick/Demers

Anderson
Bernier

One thing I'm curious about for the expansion draft is if after 21/23 picks if the other teams are safe, or can Vegas use those unpicked teams to try and build a farm team from.
