IIRC the same rules apply to them as everybody else but @Toews is the man to ask. Yup that's right. What happened was that the article that came out that first broke the Vegas expansion stated all the stipulations which included Vegas having the lottery odds for the 3rd worst team for 3 (or 4 years I can't remember exactly). It was later debunked by Bill Daly. I think this probably started out as a proposal but I am guessing most teams were against something like this and rightfully so.

Noble 6 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 This kid has a short highlight film every game against men. Always at least once or twice he dangles through 2-3 players and sets up a chance. It's absolutely ridiculous. With the effect Mathews has had in Toronto and our declining attendance/revenue, landing this kid would fix almost all our problems. He's absolutely insane.

Noble 6 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Unfortunate news. He was scoring at a good pace before this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble 6 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Man. Svechnikov and Zadina in one day. Probably the two best forwards in the draft. He had an oppurtunity to close the gap on Svechnikov too. UPDATE: Thankfully he sounds alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas already has a jump start to their franchise than most other expansion teams. for them to get lottery picks on top of an already strong team is absurd. it's like the Orlando Magic all over again. LMAO. no thank you to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 This year will be a very exciting draft for us. Regardless of who we take in the top 6 or 7 picks, they likely become one of our top 3 prospects. My guess is that we take Boqvist or Zadina at 5. We will then have a high second, along with any additional picks that Benning can get from flipping Hutton, Burmistrov, or Vanek. In terms of adding these young guys to the roster, it should come in 3 waves: 2018: Goldobin Gaudette 2019: Demko Joulevi Petterson Dahlen 2020: This year's first Tryamkin Lind Gadjovich Obvioulsy not all of these guys will make it, or they will make it with another team. We also have a few wild cards that could surprise in: Chatfield, Lockwood, Palmu, Di Pietro and Brisebois, along with any future lower round picks. 2 or 3 more years after this one and the rebuild should be mostly done, hopefully it yields a competitive team, and not another rebuild cycle.

TheHitman Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Chances are we won't win the lottery, hopefully Zadina falls to us but I seriously doubt it. Now that we have Chatfield there's no point of taking a chance on a defensemen with a high pick. Veleno is probably who we end up with, but Kotkaniemi might be worth looking at too. Of course the goal this draft should be to stockpile first round picks but I doubt that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Another highly touted prospect from this draft is Swedish LW Isac Lundestrom. He was 15 years old when he debuted for his first SHL game way back in 2014/2015. Last season as a 16-17 year old he put up 6 points in 45 SHL games and this season so far he has 6 points in 12 games. He's listed quite low right now but I imagine after the WJ he might be a top 15 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGokou Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Crazy, Dahlin has 6 points in 11 games in the SHL. At the rate he is scoring he is basically Erik Karlsson in his draft plus +2 year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
