i don't know what the hard on for backup goalies is all about.

Like why draft 6 goalies when the goalie market is notoriously a buyers market?

agreed
- homiedclown

At least they got 6 goalies. Is there a rule about playing more than 1 at a time?

no way that D is the way it plays out. You can't compete with that !! McNabb is the only decent regular and he is a 4 at BEST.

guessed the news was missed that mcphee (will correctly) pick and trade defensemen.

Its an expansion team, there will be weaknesses. They can use two of the six goalies and UFA's to add better defensemen.

That roster looks like an absolute train wreck...

I'm not sold on that yet.

Because they still have good value.Boston, Calgary, Chicago, L.A., S.J. will need a #2, and depending on who gets drafted NYR, PIT, WSH & DET could need help as well. Players such as Raanta and Grubauer have reasonable contracts and are very tradeable.

Why kruger without TVR? What do you anticipate happening to rationalize that

They want to dump Kruger's salary.

George McPhee: "We're going to have to move some defencemen because we're going to claim a bunch."

you don't pick up backup goalies to move them for 3rd or 4th round picks.

GM's are overpaying for dmen.


Prediction: 10/30 picks correct.

They want to dump Kruger's salary.

Thats obvious, but wasnt the whole thing that they would leave TVR exposed and not trade him in exchange for LV also taking Kruger? Cause LV isnt just going to take that salary out of the kindness of there hearts

I think Murray has more than a Vegas deal in place and I want to wait and see what plays out with Theodore.

I hear the whistles blowing !
Trainwreck waiting to happen ,Is an understatement ,that D could
not stop an AHL team And if you trade some of them you might
get lucky and get a 5th, 6th rounder or so .

Vegas wants Draft Picks and will take on salary to get them.

It's an expansion team. They aren't winning the cup any time soon. Besides, you'll see more deals around the draft.
