NHL Expansion to Vegas - Official

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I must say that the franchise is starting out the right way in marketing to the community. I had signed up for team updates online. Today I received a personal call from the ticket manager wanting to know if there was anything that they could do for me, telling me about the expansion draft and giving me a number to call for more information.

Are you gonna go?

I might fly out for that. They are combining end of season awards with the expansion draft.

Only thing that totally f*cking sucks balls is they are doing it on a... Wednesday??

So here is a rumor.

Vegas willing to take on contracts w/first rounders? Bobby Ryan? Fri's Buzz

Quote

The Rumor is the Knights would get Bobby Ryan and a first round pick in the deal.

 

Ryan has $7.25 million till 2022

That Bobby Ryan Contract makes Perry's contract not look as bad, Ryan at age 29/30 season had only 25 points in 62 games. His decline is happening at 2 years younger than Perry & a much worse of a decline. He doesn't play defense either, skates as slow as Perry or slower & has more durability issues than Perry. Ryan's cap hit is lower but he has 5 years left while Perry has only 4 left.

Just like Bobby Ryan & Corey Perry: Heatley & Cheecho didn't skate well at all & they suddenly declined early too.

I hope the Ducks are done with drafting guys who can't skate. They suddenly fall off a cliff at age 30 to 32.

Not sure at this point, for the reason that you pointed out. It's in the middle of the week. I work about 40 miles north of the city, I would have to go straight from work and fight what is likely to be a mob. Then, have to get up at 5:15 AM to go to work the next morning.

I agree, getting old sucks.

Can we let them have Vatenen if they take Perry in trade?

You would need Perry agree to it since he has a NTC

[nate]

yeah and i doubt they would do it anyway

[gotbeer]

One of the big NMC waivers was announced.  And it's an interesting one.

 

So from what I'm reading in this.  Is that he only waived his NMC for Vegas.  That means that Pittsburgh to a team like Calgary is out. 

[mrwicked]

next two weeks are gonna be wild!

probably most action in two week period in entire history of the league.

George McPhee Confirms Vegas Has Completed At Least Six Trades

Quote

McPhee made it clear that he’s willing to go that route, telling Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports that some expansion picks will be traded the very next day.

 

With the depth of goalie's available.  I wouldn't be surprised if Fleury is one that is traded right away. 

[gotbeer]

Wow.  The Magneto's jersey is a new level of ugly.  I'd post a vid of it, but the adidas site sucks.
