Wait, the panthers gave up a first, Reilly Smith, a fourth and then said "pls take Marchessault, thx". Wtf is happening?
- TobyFlenderson


Yes but no first. I mean that would just make a terrible laughable no good trade one of the worst in recent memory. Or is it already?

That'll be the Flyers in a few years.

We should be so lucky -- that would mean at least one more of the defensemen panned out, TK continued to improve, maybe Lindblom and whoever they take this year, as well

Because just say Quebec or Seattle's ready for...2020/21. You could leave some guys unprotected then and take your chances, from the forward group, I'm thinking

If Marchessault scores 20-plus for another few years, and Smith clocks in at 20/45, then yeah, it's pretty freaking bad because you literally got nothing in return

Seems like Vegas plans on just putting 5 dmen out there at all times.

McPhee has his work cut out for him, he's got a roster full of old stiffs

Man, damn. I don't know.

Now that I'm looking at this Vegas roster...man. That defense is looking kinda ugly with no Brodin/Dumba, no Vatanen/Manson

Colorado's terrible, so's Vancouver, but I'm not so sure that Arizona isn't at least as good as this roster I'm looking at

If you could get that 2018 first off them, you just might be looking at the third-most ping-pong balls in the hopper heading into the lottery

With this roster McPhee should be fired if he gives up future 1st rounders. I don't see it happening.

I like their strategy of building from the Blue line out. They're going to get a lot of high picks in the early years so they can build the O out.

Bettman should be embarrassed. The league didn't need expansion it needed contraction.

But $$$. Us plebes can see the scam plainly. At least the stadium was privately funded, unlike the NFL team vegas got.

I'm sure I am a minority here but I don't think they will actually be the worst team next year. Not saying they will be good but competitive, yes.

They're gonna have a hell of a time getting out of their own zone. With all the D that were available, even after trade considerations, you'd think they could do better than this group of pilons.

They clearly did not draft the best team, if they wanted to be cutthroat about it and not take picks. I understand that NHL GMs don't want to step on toes at times and sour relationships, but I think there's legit arguments that those picks are less valuable than some of the players they let them keep.

agreed. when you look at some names like dumba and manson and vatanen, its hard to think that a late first is necessarily worth more, if thats even what it was.

Creepy, but Rossman cleans up nice. 3 Olympics she has to be 18, right?
