Damn auto correct. I mean Vantel correct.

The King Clancy Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the National Hockey League player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and who has made a significant humanitarian contribution to his community.

I guess PK's $10M hospital donation wasn't enough.

The award show is pretty lame.

Did you join the Canucks thread to let us know that Sedin shouldn't have won the award?

this really does suck. Even the players have that "I wish I wasn't here look."

If the Canucks are sure they can sign Lucic, does it alter their draft day plans?
I know, i know, most of you don't want a 28 year old PWF that could create room and spread out scoring and serve as a mentor for JV, but it's seeming more and more likely.

Could we afford (and be lucky enough) to get Lucic and Erikson?

Fixed

Assuming that Hutton and Virtanen's stint in Utica doesn't count and I haven't read anything about a minumum games played for those professional seasons.

The players exposed must of played 70 over 2 season or 40 in the season prior.

Hutton played 4 games in the regular season but Jake only suited up for games during the playoffs.

Edit.
I believe that Nylander who played only 37 games in is not exempt.

Nylander is exempt

They would need to shed both burrows and Higgins for that to work

Nylander is a pimp

Yes

I'm not sure he will be but if Tkachuk is available at 5 we is gonna take him. Word on the street is yotes want him bad.

Why couldn't the Kings just sign Lucic so Benning couldnt

Yes

With any luck CBJ take a Center at 3OA(Dubois) and then Arizona trades up for Tkachuk at 4OA and Pulj falls to 5 OA not likely, but future stars fall all the time due to specific needs of other teams.

JP from whatiI understand goes 3. Just a matter of who takes him.

The Fact that Henrik Sedin has never won the Lady Byng is a F'n travesty.

Not even nominated or in the running after all these years.

If Columbus doesn't take PJ at 3 I can't see him not going 4

Will Arnett is terrible . This should be NHL AKwards.

Virtanen is only 19 so isn't he not eligible to play in Utica as a pro until 20? A conditioning stint wouldn't count but I was pretty sure he jumped straight to NHL like Horvat did. Hutton and Tryamkin only signed 2 year ELC contracts and both burned a year off of them last year. It is a bit confusing but it's pretty clear with them. Carol touched on them being exempt from the expansion a while back too. Gaunce, Horvat, Etem, Baertschi and Vey (if signed) are all eligible.

I'm pretty sure they need to play a certain amount of games pro and 4 games wouldn't burn a year off in the previous year. I think it is 10 games or so. Hutton is 23 but a college guy so he played there until those 4 games in 2014-15. Tryamkin 13 games last season burned 1 year off his contract.

Gaunce has played in Utica for 2 years so he now is going into his 3rd year. Horvat, same deal except he jumped straight to the NHL instead of playing more in junior.

Virtanen was also only drafted last year...
- WhatTheNuck

I hear what you are saying about a minimum number of games, but from what I can tell the NHL hasn't actually released that number. Maybe it only applies to players in the regular season as Jake only played in the playoffs.

Virtanen and Nylander were both drafted last year and both played at least partially in the AHL.

Dreger: Bill Daly confirmed to me that William Nylander, as an example, would have to be protected in expansion draft under proposal. #Leafs
