It is probably easier to have 1 thread for the draft today and tomorrow than to bounce around amongst a few. A one-stop spot for rumors, angst and rants.
It's probably something cataclysmic, like Marchand/Pastrnak for Erik Johnson, who will be packaged from Colorado to Montreal for Subban.Wonder who the "out of left field" person might be. Think Weber is on the block?
Let's get Suter!Not sure if it qualifies as out of left field, but a Minny D? There hasn't been too much smoke there, it's mostly been all Shattenkirk.
The '16-'17 salaries for those players will still be in effect when they are drafted and that calculation is made, and that Las Vegas will be free to draft impending RFAs. I have to imagine they would be allowed to pick impending UFAs if those players are not protected.* The Las Vegas franchise must select a minimum of 20 players who are under contract for the 2017-18 season.
* The Las Vegas franchise must select players with an aggregate Expansion Draft value that is between 60-100% of the prior season’s upper limit for the salary cap.
Would you sign him to a, say, 6 year contract at $7.5 per year?I'd give up 14 for him.
God, what an awful feeling. I'm always mr sunshine about trusting executives, but I'm with you. Hope to proven wrong.I also have absolutely no faith in Sweeney doing anything, so I am perfectly content with him not trading anything and just taking the picks. Seems like he can cause less damage that way.
To be fair, he said he's never right, but he finds them entertaining anyways.Felger is reading Eklund rumors on air. I shit you not.
I'd be OK with this trade. Still comes down to whether you want to give a 6 or 7 year contract to Shattenkirk for somewhere around $50 million.Ehhhh
The jury is still out on that one.I know Sweeney hasn't inspired much confidence, but we really dodged a bullet with Benning leaving before Chiarelli got fired.
Disagree... Benning still openly brags about not using analytics.The jury is still out on that one.
