Vegas Golden Knights: next 7 picks Brickley Thorburn Bellemare Garrison Berube Neal Engelland

I think he was in Magic Mike, its kind of hard to watch. They should just get the draft done with then do the awards.

Vegas gave up a 2018 4th round pick to Florida for Reilly Smith.

Vegas Golden Knights: 1st 9 pick Pickard Sbisa Pulkkinen Merrill Carrier Nosek Eakin Marchessault McNabb

Brodin, Scandella, and Dumba have all been part of trade talks. One of them is part of a Montreal trade or that's what it sounds like.

You'll have to ask the guy on USCHO what his source is.

A guy that covers the Rangers said Vegas didn't take Raanta, Good backup and could be flipped to a team that needs a goalie. Sounds like Vegas is getting Berube from the Islanders. Snow is going to look like a genius after the expansion draft. Custance is saying Nosek likely will be picked from the Red Wings. How do you not take Raanta and Mrazek? Vegas will have a new GM in 5 years.

lol

there must be some reason why every team that has had Evander Kane has traded Evander Kane.

The same thing ended Tom Reid's career. Blackhawks said they were going to move a core player.

Marion Hossa is going to miss the season. https://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2017/6/21/15845310/marian-hossa-chicago-blackhawks-to-miss-2017-18-season-skin-condition

If Vegas is trying to get the #2 pick, Fleury is going to Philly.

Could have gotten more flipping Dumba or Scandella.

Golden Knights jerseys have a German national team feel to them. https://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2017/6/20/15843648/vegas-golden-knights-jersey-reveal-pictures-nhl-expansion

Pick your Golden Knights team yet?

The Predators yellow Adidas jersey looks garbage.

They pick any UFA's they count as a pick during the expansion draft. If Vegas picks Oshie, Oshie is the Washington pick. Vegas has been talking to UFA's and will wait until July 1st.

Still makes no sense to protect two guys that are in the AHL.

You don't pass on a 45 goal scorer when he's wide open for the taking, if McPhee makes a dumb deal with the Islanders then he should be fired right after the draft. With the Islanders deal he's taking on two contracts that are players that aren't cleared to play and retired. Vegas could pick up high end UFA's this year and next year, but they need a good core group. The Oilers took 4 #1 picks before they did it right and gave away Hall (which I still think was dumb).

Still a dumb move by Holland, Vegas takes Mrazek and flips him to Arizona who needs a goalie.

Golden Knights would be stupid to make a deal with the Islanders, especially when they left open two pieces that the Golden Knights need to build their franchise. If The Golden Knight don't take Nelson or Strome, Vegas might as well flip every good player for picks. If I was passing on Nelson and Strome the Islanders better give me at least 3 1st round picks, 3 2nd round picks, and 3 3rd round picks to take who they want me to take plus a player who isn't cleared to play. http://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/islanders/islanders-have-deal-with-vegas-to-steer-golden-knights-in-expansion-draft-sources-say-1.13748697?utm_campaign=buffer&utm_medium=social&utm_content=bufferad5ab&utm_source=twitter.com

This was pretty funny. https://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2017/6/18/15826794/nhl-expansion-draft-lists-2017-best-worst-case-scenarios-each-team

Ducks, Blue Jackets, Blackhawks, and Islanders reportedly have deals in place with the Golden Knights. The Blackhawks deal sounds like van Riemsdyk and Kruger to Vegas, if Vegas takes Kruger. The Islanders deal sounds like they want to keep Bailey and Cizikas, but it also sounds like they are trying to keep Strome, Nelson, and De Haan instead. http://www.tsn.ca/live/talent/mcphee-ready-for-bidding-war-on-exposed-players-1.782401 https://www.sbnation.com/2017/6/18/15827270/vegas-golden-knights-trade-rumors-ducks-blue-jackets-islanders-blackhawks-nhl-expansion-draft-2017

Yes, but I'm sure DaveK is trying to make a deal with Vegas to keep Fleury in Pittsburg.

I'd take Mrazek and flip him, keep Fleury to help develop a young goalie under him.
