I still feel like after all the dust settles Vegas will end up with mostly scrubs... Maybe I'm just pessimistic.

I think so too but I also think it will be by design. A lot of trades to amass future picks/prospects. If I were building an expansion team, especially in LV were a lot of the fans are out of towners/ corporate partners, I'd try to be competitive in 3 years and in the mean while score as many goals as possible in a strategy of pure barn burner hockey. First team to 6 goals wins! That is why Weal would be on my list from the Flyers.

Do you realize how obvious it is that you're minimizing Marner and pumping up Patrick simply because one isn't Flyers property and one probably soon will be?

We've all seen you do this song and dance many times before.

I think they pick a lot of players that are valuable to other teams and trade them for picks. Like if Vegas selects bobby Ryan and retains half his salary what could they get for him? Likely a prospect with decent upside and a high pick.

If they deal MAF to the flyers they likely get a decent return.

So at the end of tomorrow they will have a bunch of scrubs with a lot of decent prospects and a ton of draft picks.

You're overthinking it. He's just bored and wants to start an argument that lasts 15 pages to occupy himself until the awards show starts.

That's incorrect. I haven't minimized Marner at all. Secondly I don't pump up players in the draft..When have you ever seen me pump prospective players for the draft? Never!

We've also seen your song and dance and how you get when you disagree with someone.

I have seriously seen 12 year old girls do pull ups. Do you realize how weak you have to be not to be able to do 1 freakin' pull up?

Very weak.

You started an argument with someone because you judged their level of excitement to be insufficient.

Word is out! The 30 teams have been informed which player they are losing to Vegas. All are in the process of informing those players of their selection. John Shannon

Its a discussion in my view. What is a sufficient level of excitement? What I posted was that it did not seem as though the poster was excited about drafting Nico or Nolan and then listed reasons. He also posted both were similar to Marner whom he is always raving about. I simply pointed out the obvious inconsistency there.

With PEB now gone, and VdV not re-signed, who will be the irrational target of everyone's ire this year?
