for trade pieces

Yes but they could also do that with players as well. The thing is you don't want to reach the cap floor just because of 5 goalies and then realize you have to trade them off for pieces and are stuck

@Higgins who's that carpenter dude ?

 

Undrafted AHL prospect. He did very well for the Baracuda in the Calder cup playoffs and it was between him and Barclay Goodrow for the final spot I assume.

Yeah its Davidson for sure.

 

Vegas was smart (not that we should be surprised with who their GM is). They stocked up on picks for the entry draft and can build a nice prospect cupboard. Something a bunch of past expansion teams didn't do.

I mean i liked Mcphee, even though i realize why the trade was made he did trade Forsberg for Erat lol.

 

But ya this teams going to be a weirs one alot of guys put into roles they arent used too. Rookies who may not be totally NHL ready playing to add skill.

I disagree. You'll find some bargain veterans on the FA market that usually get camp invites on their actual opening day roster. They'll do it right by putting those rookies in the AHL.

Heres my call

 

Vgk gk + 6th oa vs 2nd oa

 

@Fire Hakstol @eaglesfan036 opinion?

hell no

 

You don't just give away 2nd overall for that little. Buyers market for goalies now too.

 

Also thank you GK for taking Bellamare lololol! Addition by subtraction

Hard pass. Biggest organizational need is potential number 1 center. There are 2 pretty good ones at the top of the draft. Goalie is a hole but it can be filled elsewhere.

Giroux is a top flight center is he not? I mean he had a down year sure, but is Philly really closing the book on a 60-80 point center in his prime?
