See i don't think 3 years at 5million is that bad for an expansion team. Because they will have some short term deals so he gives 3 years of cost certainty for a top 4 guy.

I know not probable but I really don't see it that terrible.

They can get cost certainty on a top 4 dman from Methot in Ottawa or Martin in San Jose or Demers in Florida.

They could.

It's in the eyes of Vegas.

I am just saying I don't think MacDonald is as bad at 3 years 5million for them.

So if Vegas has all these trades in place when do they get announced? I guess we just have to figure everything out when they reveal the roster.

I'm so excited for Patrick. I've been leaning towards him all along. I can see him working well with a bunch of our wingers.

It sounds like if teams are including picks to entice VGK to take certain players we will find out tonight.

If VGK is flipping players we will find out tomorrow.

Maybe it will be like the NBA, where they take the time to take a photo with the Vegas cap and as the interview is being conducted someone will chime in saying he has been traded. It's the NHL, what are the chances this unveiling turns into a total train wreck.

Let's start with ANA. The belief is VGK will claim Clayton Stoner, pass on Manson/Vatanen and, in return for all that, get Shea Theodore.

This looks like a good upgrade (assuming Raffl is taken by VGK)...

Yeah, I don't know how this isn't going to be a mess.

They should do the roster reveal with a single press release alongside including every trade Vegas has made.

3 years, $5m AAV, $16.5m in total salary doesn't seem like good value to me, or to the Flyers who left him exposed in favor of Manning.

Demers, Martin and Methot were also exposed, but their teams protected better defensemen than Brandon Manning.

Ekblad, Yandle, Petrovic, Pysyk

Karlsson, Phaneuf (NMC), Ceci

Burns, Vlasic, Braun

It's a close call, but I am Team Nolan as well. I feel he fits better with the Flyers current and future makeup of the team.

Nico Hischier may be a more dynamic player than Patrick, but I don't see him ready for the NHL next year. I personally think if he makes the Devils he will struggle a bit at first. That will determine whether he becomes a good NHL player, a dynamic superstar or a pressured 1st pick bust.

Basically 3 rookies on a line. That could be a super disaster in the making. Lindblom could work well with Giroux. Personally I would have Voracek or Simmonds with Patrick.

If Las Vegas does take AMac tonight, I predict this site will crash about 7 minutes after it's announced.

I am seeing this in my head:

Lindblom - Giroux - Voracek
Konecny - Couturier - Schenn
Filpulla - Patrick - Simmonds
Bellemare - Vechionne - Laughton/Weise

Extras:
Read(if not moved)
Weise or Laughton
Weal(not included since unsigned)
