is it more like baseball? for some reason i thought it was basically football just with a frisbee for the most part.

Ultimate Frisbee is more like team hand ball and you score like football by getting it into the other teams endzone

Just a question......But how the hell is ultimate Frisbee on tv?

ANd yes I watched it.
- J35Bacher

That's a lot of fun to play

If ultimate Frisbee can get on then I am starting the PRO WIFFLE BALL LEAGUE.

racist.

but seriously, definitely a lot to think about as far as protection goes. although a lot can happen roster wise between now and then.

So Morin is safe? That's helpful.

EDIT:couldn't White or bellemare be unprotected? Or are their contracts up?

I was hoping for Quebec too. Is this the whole thing or was there more?

- Giroux_Is_God

They would be unprotected but unless they get extensions into 17-18, (which is possible) they wouldn't be part of this apparent clause:

- All teams are required to leave at least 2 F and 1D who are under contract for the 2017/18 season unprotected, who played at least 40 games last year (or 70 games over the last 2 years).

And, apparently, Vegas can only draft ten 17-18 free agents.

- Las Vegas will draft 30 players, at least 20 of whom MUST be under contract for the 2017-18 season (to reduce the likelihood of shenanigans)

Only if they get extensions into 17-18, which is possible.

I see.

Sorry if this was up before.


Kidding... don't care.

new expansion means the goalie market will be SUPER saturated this offseason

Even coming off a season in which he scored 67 points in 78 games, his lowest points-per-game (0.86) since 2009-2010, Claude Giroux has more points than any player over the past five seasons. He might not command that level of respect, but he's an elite point producer who makes those around him better.

ELITE

would you trade giroux for john tavares? how about jamie benn?

I like lawn mowing. To me there's nothing more relaxing than sitting on your deck with a beer watching your wife mow the lawn. Toss in a quick nap and a cool breeze and you got yourself a day.

You can make any player seem elite if you twist the stats around. I'm not buying it
