The fan base in general. Same as how many pages on HB were dedicated to the loss of Frank Corrado

Well duh he is an olympic hero?

Lefty said "we are sure to get help from the lottery by 3 seasons of finishing bottom 3". I don't believe anything Americans say.

Looks like Eakin will double shift as the number one centerman.

yep. i'm certainly not heartbroken here.
Poor Franson tho, just can't find a long term deal. or anything even coming close to resembling one.

He got greedy. TO offered him multiple years and he wanted more

Burrows everyone wanted gone. But we all still like him for what he used to be. Sbisa, as previously stated, the reason was simply the ability to flip him at the TDL. That is it. We need D sure, but we can find a cheaper version. It's all about the lost pick. So for now, 3.6 off the books!

Can we talk about the gymnast's legs again?

Too busy looking at Katy's realtor on Househunters.

If you can do two jobs why can't he

split personality equal's 2 jobs?

Cha-ching!

As of now, can Sbisa even crack Vegas' roster, let alone top 6?




They're going to trade away like 5 dmen for sure but as of now I think he's a #7 dman at best on that roster, and even that's very debatable.

I wonder how many bottom team fans will adopt Vegas?
- VANTEL

It's already been happening here. Now with those 1st rounders can see more jumping on too. Can you spell perseverance...?

suppose we still need to wait for the dust to settle.
Will be stoked to see their opening night lineup tho.

people will eat crow about this trade down the path i suspect.

The Gaunce vs Sbisa debates will continue!!!

Maybe you could go for two "I told you so, I said this first, I was right again".

I'd have Emelin/Garrison/McNabb/Methot/Miller/Schmidt/Schlemko/TVR all ranked ahead of him. Don't know much about Merrill to comment. Engelland you can make a case for.

He'd be ahead of Reinhart and Stoner I'm assuming.

Don't knock my team

No but sooner or later you have to hit the jackpot
- VANTEL

Odds don't say that with 15 other teams having lotto tickets likely going to miss the podium no matter the low finish weight.

Don't knock my team

A lot of dead weight on that roster so far...

All about 4 years from now but I too think they could have done much better

Who the hell cried about them? I liked Hamhuis, Hansen,Bieksa and Sbisa but just because I liked them does not mean I had any trouble seeing them leave.
- thundachunk

If you said you liked someone and didn't embrace the get rid of whoever I say, then that means you cried about losing them...it's quite simple really.

As long as one team ahead of Jim takes a D, then he'll get one of the C's he wants. Otherwise, it's a D.
- boonerbuck

That's the common sense take....still holding out for that draft day overpayment trade to add to that choice

Vegas 1st's

6. Middlestadt
13.Lijigren
15. Kostin
24. Hague

WPG got pick 24. WPG traded down, not gave them the pick.

In consecutive years now we have cried about losing Higgins Lack Hamhuis Burrows and now Sbisa. What a joke

- VANTEL

Nobody has cried about losing Sbisa

I'd have Emelin/Garrison/McNabb/Methot/Miller/Schmidt/Schlemko/TVR all ranked ahead of him. Don't know much about Merrill to comment. Engelland you can make a case for.

Booner so called it on your obsession over Sbisa. Didn't he say you will have more play over at the Vegas thread

Yeah you are so right about the dust. Seems like around 15 more players for Vegas to trade as doubt half pass waivers. So wonder how all that's going to work out on the NHL landscape next couple of days.

LVGK short on C as was expected.
Obvious C & young D r needed at the draft.
