There is talk that Nashville and Vegas are in talks for the expansion draft.

Time to see if he gets protected.

The roster freeze is in effect, no more trades until after the draft. The only trades tomorrow can be made with the Golden Knights.

Wild might make a deal with the Golden Knights to not take Brodin, Scandella, and Dumba. Haula could be exposed, but you have to think any deal with the Golden Knights is going to involve Zucker to the Golden Knights.

It sounds like the Blue Jackets will trade the 24th overall pick and a prospect to the Golden Knights. The NHL was stupid for not letting the Golden Knights be just Knights because of a team in the OHL.

Mike Smith traded to Calgary for Chad Johnson, Brandon Hickey and a conditional 3rd

Lmao

USA Hockey needs to stop ruining hockey. #makehockeygreatagain

The ACC needs another team, but that's a big area if they add Utah. Arizona has the best facility hockey wise. $50 million endowment is easier for Utah then most non-P5 schools. Hockey is the rumor from some Ute fans. Utah could always add track & Field.

There is a fan of theirs on USCHO that said he believes they are waiting for the arena to be finalized then a conference. He was thinking that after the meetings in Naples that ASU would join the WCHA. He said that he heard the WCHA wants ASU to pay travel costs for the members of the WCHA to come to Tempe. I still believe they end up in the NCHC. The rumor now is that Utah will add hockey now that they added lacrosse.

I don't see them going to the B1G, The B1G would have to take Denver just to make the conference even and that's not happening. Utah is in the same boat as Arizona State is for hockey, the Pac-12 and member institutions are going to wait and see what Utah's profits are before anyone else adds the sport to varsity. So if UND added lacrosse it would need to have $15 to $30 million endowment (just for a men's team). The costs are going to be $2 million a year and no guarantee that UND will make that money back (Denver made $1 in profit two years ago). If UND ever adds lacrosse they would need a group of schools in the area to add lacrosse to cut travel costs and the operating costs of $2 million. I have no problem with UND adding lacrosse, the chances it happens in the next 5 years is low, but the moment UND says they will add it the twins and their women's hockey group will come out and demand the school bring back the women's hockey program. Now if the rumors are true its time to see if Utah adds hockey next.

He's taking it to Minnesotaaa!!!!! That's what he said he's going to do on the video that make puck retweeted. I'm sure Omaha has been making plans to retire Guentzel's and Archibald's jerseys to start the year. They have to be like UND.

Smh What's next Adidas branded equipment. #makehockeygreatagain

That's why I think 1. They should have made it that each team can only protect 5 or 6 players total. 2. The protected list should have been made before the playoffs.

James Mirtle‏Verified account @mirtle 1h1 hour ago This kind of dealing is what's really going to hurt Vegas; teams are going to get assets for players while they can and leave VGK scraps. James Mirtle‏Verified account @mirtle 1h1 hour ago Every team I've talked to the last few weeks is working on some variation of: "How do we give Vegas almost nothing?" Tampa pulls that off.

Better question will they be branded CCM. Adidas has been making the jerseys under Reebok. I guess this could have been put in the new season thread lol.

Drouin will have to be protected by the Canadians of lost to Vegas. The expansion Draft would be more fun if the teams had to have their protected list in right before the playoffs. I think to many players are getting protected thanks to the exempt players.

Jonathan Drouin traded to the Canadians.

Phil Housley the new head coach for the Sabers.

Guentzel isn't bring the Cup to Omaha.

Only way Vegas take them is to flip the player to a team that wants them.

If I was the Sharks I wouldn't protect Thornton or Marleau, both are at the ends of their careers and Vegas isn't picking either one.

I was waiting for reaction to these jerseys, I'm not a fan. USA Hockey need to stop ruining hockey. #makehockeygreatagain

I expect the Golden Knights to sign Dan GIrardi who was bought out by the Rangers.
