My understanding is that VGK have secured via trades about 10 draft picks spread out over 3 years. So far anyway.

Emelin or Hudon

They can grab Boyle for cheaper to do the same job as Plek.

And Boyle is a gamer.

Emelin, established NHL D. I think a new american market would like a guy that can throw some highlight reel big hits

Nobody is taking Emelin. Nobody. Unfortunately.
Boyle is a UFA. Why would they waste a pick on a guy they can sign afterwards and still take a guy from the Leafs??
I'm thinking they take Hudon.

It's a team in the southern U.S.

Uncle Gary will give them every chance to succeed.

how about this

They pick Plek then trades him to another club retaining half the salary.

he is signed only for 1 year at 6m, if they retain half the salary plek would become a 3rd line centerman for 3million any club would take that type of player for that type of money.

And the 3million would work on the Vegas cap.

Just an idea that might happen

What would a 3 million Plekanec fetch? a 3rd rounder maybe? Better off with Hudon if you ask me

which is another reason i didn't like the Beualieu trade. why lose 2 players when you only have to lose 1?

although i guess it's possible old Timmsy knocks one out of the park!!!! remember the 2007 draft?????

maybe there could be another package that would take plek.

hudon is still young but inexperienced in the NHL, he could still be a bust, or at best a 3rd line centerman. thing is the league has more 3rd line centerman than anything else.

Still think plek or emelin would be the sure bet for movable parts.

Point is, they can get a player that can win faceoffs, play the PK and 3rd line role that's way tougher than Plek and will cost less.
