NYI traded their first to LVK. Nelson is likely protected.

It will either be Gaunce or Sbisa. In order to hit cap floor I would guess Sbisa.
- Eldebrink

Even if the Canucks only protected Horvat the rest would pretty much be scraps. Which is sad for our franchise.

It is a head scratcher…1 goal in 77 NHL games has mass appeal.

Didn't his goal go off his skate as well

Even the John Scotts of the NHL provide more offense

Really don't know why any fan would be concerned about losing ANYONE from our unprotected list, it's garbage.

You could do worse than kicking off your expansion season with Marchessault and Ryan Strome as your top two centres. I think Vegas will be better than the Canucks next year.

Benning better be working those phones in an attempt to get Dumba

Like you said, Horvat is the only expansion elible player I would care about losing

It's possible. bettman certainly set them up well

I doubt LVK trades Dumba to us. Only LVK can make trades now.

Toronto protected Matt Martin and not Leipsic.

Remember when Leipsic was the main piece for a Tanev trade.

Craig Button: "Benning will lose Sbisa, but Tanev and Edler are good defensemen who have a lot of attraction in the marketplace." https://t.co/KimO0AiFDF

Good morning,

Expansion draft lists at last! Here's my first spin through where the Canucks (and ex-Canucks) stand...

http://www.hockeybuzz.com...Expansion-Draft/194/85840

Granlund only started on the wing last year.

Gaudette was one of the better players in the NCAA last year as a sophmore. After his JR season he will might be ready. To say 3 years away is crazy. Troy stetcher says hi
- mauryballstein

Stecher should not have been in the NHL last year...Vantel is right, 3years from now

I laugh when I read on Twitter the number of people fearing and loathing the thought of losing Boucher
- VANTEL

better reading material is probably necessary

It will either be Gaunce or Sbisa. In order to hit cap floor I would guess Sbisa.
- Eldebrink

Ive wondered the same. LV will need to reach the cap floor and will need some big contracts. I would think Fleury would be the name for that. Gallant may just push for luongo though.

Id like to keep Pedan.

I hear mixed reports on JV . We will find out in three months. If he doesn't make the team this year then I don't hold much hope
- VANTEL

1st off JV will feel the pressure to show he has made strides to be an NHLer.
2nd after a season with TG in Utica rebuilding his game he will know what to expect.
Lastly offseason workouts & training will show us whether or not he is a pro.
I wonder if he talks to BO for advice.

If I was Vegas I would say no thanks to the Ducks and select one of Vatanen or Manson

Agree 100%
