WeneedLumme Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 20 minutes ago, VIC_CITY said: I disagree. Teams that are in danger of losing a good player to LV will be looking to pick up a replacement prior to the expansion draft when prices will be lowest. Remeber, LV can only take one player from each team. So let's say team A and team B had what would be considered the best 2 players available for the expansion draft. Both teams were definitely going to lose their respective player. What's stopping team A and team B from working out a deal with eachother for one of those players? Both teams stand to lose their respective players for nothing, but if they work out a trade, each team will be left with something, whether that be a draft pick or a replacement for the player they were set to lose. It makes too much sense, rather than both teams losing their players for nothing. So we should expect a lot of activity. I don't really follow you here. Sounds like you are suggesting moving around the deck chairs on a sinking ship. So instead of Team A losing player A and team B losing player B in the draft, they trade. Then Team A loses player B and Team B loses player A. What does that accomplish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly Hansen is so much more versatile and skilled and better skating and, my goodness Hansen wasn't much when he got here either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching young Hansen play and present Gaunce, it's evident The Great Dane had/has more skill. That's what separates athletes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually was often compared with Raymond as they both entered the league around the same time and had blazing speed but not much in the way of soft hands. lol Basically a lot of speed and.... well... no scoring...

Hansen was about 25 before he cracked 30 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, again I firmly believe that Hanes has more skill as well. The guy even forechecks harder than Gaunce and he's smaller, hence you're aggressive statement.

All I said was Gaunce won't be a better player than Hansen, to one of the other fellows The point is, when Hansen was Gaunce's age, I don't think he had even played a single NHL game, and many people didn't think he ever would be good enough. Gaunce has a different skill set from Hansen's, and he is continuing to improve. Now if you were to say that Gaunce will never be as fast as Hansen, that would be something I would agree with.

hammertime Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I wonder if we could sign Miller 5mx3years and expose him. He would prob be happy in Vegas. I'd rather we didn't pay him that. But thats prob what he will get. Vegas would likely grab him and we would have protected everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
