Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, Kadri, Kapanen, Johnsson
Rielly, Liljegren, Sandin

… So we would lose Gardiner probably, although I imagine if we do re-sign him (unlikely) he would have some form of NMC. Which would mean we lose Liljegren or Sandin, they won’t still be on ELC will they?

Or we lose Brown or Hyman, but they both might be gone by then anyway

Dermott would be a decent pick for the Starbucks.

No but I bet the Leafs organization is planning as we speak... and I was wondering if it would impact how quickly we bring up Liljegren or Sandin?
- Aetherial


They might but they also might consider just saying "fans wont care who goes if we have a cup" and do what's best to win.

Would you stay up and watch every game if they started at 1am?

Think the Leafs or other teams are going to make those trade deals like Columbus did with Vegas again? It soured a lot of GMs on how good they were with a lot of prospects

Why trade your 12th best player plus a 1st round pick to keep your 10th best player?

I thought it was really stupid when teams made deals.

Number of games in the NHL has no effect on whether or not they are eligible for plucking in the expansion draft.

It's "professional experience" - meaning the clock starts ticking as soon as you sign your NHL contract.

Anyone on the 50 man roster right now will need to be protected.

Some teams could have made out a lot better by making trades with other teams.

McPhee put the kibosh on that though by basically saying he won't deal with any teams if he hears they're talking to other teams.

So essentially if a team couldn't get a deal done with another team, they couldn't go crawling back to Vegas.

The deals were dumb but all the GMs were hedging their bets as best they could.

Matthews
Marner
Tavares
Nylander
Hyman

Kapanen/Kadri/Grundstrom

Rielly
Dermott
Sandin/Liljegren

Freddy


Right now, seems like Leafs would lose one of Kapanen/Kadri/Grundstrom/Dermott/Liljegren.
Lots of things still can happen though, in 2 and a half seasons roster will look quite a bit different than now.

I don't see why the Leafs would keep Grundstrom over Kadri

Maybe in a couple of years actually, depending how Grundstrom develops

I just edited - might be between kapanen/kadri/grundstrom.
in 2 and a half years, Grundstrom might be a very solid top9 winger for Leafs.
dunno, he might never make NHL..

Anything can happen.

Gotta keep Kapanen. Without a Finnish player, this team is doomed.

Hyman is a UFA that year....Go ahead and pick a UFA if you want

Sandin and Liljegren will be exempt if they don't play this year.

Pretty sure years in the AHL count as professional years no? I don't remember.

He won't be if he is a UFA.

Wait until after the draft to sign him.

edit: Freddy is a UFA too....doubt they wait until after the draft to sign him though

Keep trying? The expansion draft isn't happening tomorrow.. Maybe Kadri starts to slow down in a couple years and Grundstrom is just about to hit his prime

Not correct.

It's "professional experience" - not NHL experience. It's when you sign your NHL contract.

I just realized Laine has 21 goals and only 3 assists.
