Looks like it's going to be a traditional expansion type of roster ie. not a very good one. They're loading up on picks and prospects to try to be good in 3-5 years it seems like.

DeNiro Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 1 minute ago, VegasCanuck said: The type of money that is behind the Vegas organization, expect them to spend to the cap pretty much every year. These guys are about a billion dollars in, before they play a single game in October. Gotta establish a foundation first. They're not likely just going to throw all their money away in their first offseason (if they're smart) How well did that work for Buffalo?

Very true, but they will show their commitment to the community in Vegas and will try and put forward the best team they possibly can. Just expect money to be no object with them. The ownership group has extremely deep pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine it would depend on the length of the contracts they get. The longer they have to commit to things the less likely they'll spend towards the cap.

If you look at all the *projected* ufa's though, that's a lot of pressure to go out and make sure you have a roster for the season after this upcoming one.

Gaudette Celly Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 1 hour ago, The Lock said: If you want a throwaway, wouldn't it be easier to pick coming up UFA like Engelland than an RFA like Shinkaruk? So I don't think it would be to do with value. It would be more to do with what kind of contract it is. Yes, if they want a throwaway. But they aren't anywhere near 50 contracts and need to stock their farm system as well as have some prospects. In short, it's still saying that the value of a throwaway/UFA pick for them is worth more than the prospects Poirier and Shinkaruk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are sharing a farm team in year one so they really don't need to sign as many players as you might think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct, they are sharing the Chicago Wolves with St. Louis...I remember how well that worked out for the Canucks lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does "balance" even happen with that? It could almost be like roommates. Everything's fine at first until one stops doing the dishes....
