Beary Sweet Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 With the number of picks Vegas has acquired, it'd only make sense if they can acquire a top 2 pick from Philly/NJD to pick a franchise player. They're going to have a stacked roster and they stated that they're going to move a few of the D they select since they're going to pluck out a lot out of the teams including Sbisa from our very own Canucks most likely. But it does set up for an exciting offseason that's only getting started. Looking forward to how this all unfolds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually wouldn't watch the awards, but tonight I'll be tuning in for sure, just to see the Vegas stuff. Heck, the league could have had an entire 3 hour show just for the Vegas selections, trades, and following commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabychStache Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 This expansion extortion makes it REALLY enticing for other markets to want to jump in. Seattle next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BertaNuck Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I wonder if it was Canada getting an expansion team, if buttman would give us the vegas treatment or tell us get the players from the local peewee team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea they would make it allowable for teams to trade with Vegas to leave exposed players alone. Its completely unfair to teams like Van. I realize they paid a premium, but this is waaaaay over the line. Yea I think they will re-evaluate the process for the next time. I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 They cant do too many expansions too - cause if they did and it was done like this it would make a mess of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of money. Van's franchise fee, $2 mil? In real terms Vegas is paying more money and could dictate terms to some degree. Not only did the NHL owners get a nice check but they get the increased profile of a Vegas franchise which ultimately will increase the value of their franchises. When Van came into the NHL there was a level of envy for them because they were getting equity in a league that was huge in Canada and had been running for 60 years. Equity which they were really not having to pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 1 hour ago, RWMc1 said: I think it has more to with the Board of Governors' and Bettemans long term vision of growing and establishing markets in the USA. LV is a sought after market for the other major sports and if the NHL can establish a strong toe-hold, it will give the League a stronger presence in the American markets. Starting with a strong team will go a long way to that end. We don't have to like it though!!! Board of Governors - it's one representative per team. It's the Board of Governors that appoints Bettman. Some teams have multiple owners so they have to decide internally who is their governor - most teams also have several alternates.

Where'd Luongo? Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Vegas wants Tanev but the Canucks won't give him up for what they have to offer. Vegas then gets the 2nd overall pick which the Canucks highly sought. Vegas then offers the Canucks the 2nd overall pick for Tanev straight up.
