250Integra Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Probably the 6th overall pick and something for 2nd overall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinatcc Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Philly can be a contender now if it has a few pieces. Drafting someone at #2 means they have a player that can help them now. I don't see why they would they trade their 2nd overall for two first round picks that are more likely to help them down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabychStache Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 If I'm Philly I do this all day. 6 + 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly, on paper, is a team with elite level players (Giroux, Simmonds, Vorachek, Mason, and Gostisbehere) if anything getting Nolan Patrick or Nico Hirscher will help them now (and even down the road) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 So 2 for 6,15 and exposure insurance? Interesting. Didn't see this on Icebreaker at all though so doubt it has any real weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoughtysCheck Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 probably like 6+ a player LVK got from expansion like Shea Theodore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you actually believe it and think it's worth discussing? But if Vegas is making so many deals not only to let teams protect more players but also to sell off players they've picked in the expansion draft for even more assets, then the NHL hasn't done this right at all.

This.... the NHL should have place a trade freeze period on any expansion picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that statement. I think there is a ton of interest in the fan base, because of the way Vegas can move players around. It's fun!

JM_ Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I just can't see PHI handing a potential 1C to Vegas, the cost would be nuts. But maybe McPhee has such a boatload of picks he can do it but wow, this is a crazy lopsided expansion. I doubt any team in any league has ever been front loaded like this. I doubt Buttman does this for Quebec City... I wonder how he'd weasel out of that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas will have insane leverage this year and picks to burn. Its actually ridiculous. Teams should not be able to make transactions with vegas until after the expansion draft. Its guna get stupid.

R3aL Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Am I the only one bothered by Rumour being spelt Rumor on title? I dont think this expansion has been done well. Sure it is exciting for the NHL - but it seems like too much of a boost. Or maybe this is fair and how it should be and since its new and a change I am resisting. Just seems like they are getting a really super sweet deal and will be set up for success for years. Like they are gonna get a solid core of vets, projects, young players. Then a wealth of riches in draft picks. We shall see if they change the negotiation power for the next expansion draft for all these back door deals. **Rumour is real I heard it on radio. They have so much trade leverage and could have 4 or 5 First round picks. Not hard to see them swinging a deal to a team not hungry for Nolan Patrick. Philly could be very happy picking up players/picks/selecting who Vegas took from expansion/ and still get a player they want at 6th etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
