Tre Mac Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Is this suppose to justify that god awful trade? Cuz it doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 If I am Mcphee I am using a lot of my expansion picks on defenseman. Trade them after the draft and acquire some forwards. Pulock would be a nice pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz it doesn't Even if Shinkaruk was still here, the Canucks would still be able to protect him and all of Baertschi, Horvat, Tanev, Gudbranson, and Markstrom (Henrik, Daniel, and Eriksson need to be protected with their NMCs, while Hutton, Tryamkin, Demko, and Virtanen are exempt) with room to spare, so the expansion draft probably didn't factor into the decision to trade him.

mll Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 But Nylander and Fiala are still exempt although they played as 19 year olds in the AHL? I guess it's because they were drafted out of the SHL while for Shinkaruk it has to do with how age is counted for AHL eligibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Sweet! If I'm reading that correctly then, Trymakin is definitely going to be exempt as he only signed his first NHL contract this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-men are at a bit of a premium right now and the best teams in the league aren't going to be able to protect all of their best ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can grab a whole bunch of top 4 defenseman as teams can only keep 3. Meanwhile for the forwards there are 7 slots so you are getting third liners. Trade those top 4 defenseman that you don't want to keep back to teams for picks, prospects and forwards. If they do it right then they can load up quite nicely.

Trade them after the draft and acquire some forwards. Pulock would be a nice pickup. D will be the most available pieces. After playing around with the Vegas roster, I’ve noticed a few things with regards to the expansion draft. The Vegas team is going to have a really good back end. There will plenty of top D and quality D prospects available, the NMC clause will really hurt a few teams and they will be forced to expose a young prospect or a quality top 4 D. Teams will likely try to combat losing this type of piece but it will only effect the supply and greatly hurt the returns. The same thing with goalies. Teams will have to make the choice between the young, cheap high potential goalie vs the experience. A team like PITS will have to consider either moving the NMC in Fleury or risk losing a young Stanley cup winner. After hearing Rutherford on the radio yesterday it appears he has no plans to move either goalie yet, and thinks it important to have two quality guys. The forwards it where it becomes tricky. There really won’t be many top 6 forwards available outside of the overpriced or aged players (Hemksy, Gaborik, Vanek types). If I’m McPhee, I’m really putting an emphasis on teams young players and which ones are showing promise. The top prospects will be locked up, but pro scouting on the late bloomers should be a focus. An example would be players like Granlund, Rodin, Etem and Gaunce. Since all the quality top 6 and top prospects will be locked up, he will need to try and find the players he thinks could develop into top 6 forwards. It’s not the most exciting way to build a fan base but if the Vegas team wants to be successful, they need to focus on what’s available and play a defensive style of hockey. Being in the draft lottery then next few years will definitely help, and their main focus should be on top line skilled forwards, the ones that put seats in the stands and bring excitement to the people that don’t quite understand the sport as good.

ruilin96 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 And Grandlund also have to be protected. It's a very tough situation we are put into right now. We protect 3 D in Tanev, Edler and Gudbranson (Hutton is exempt). Then only 7 forwards, which 3 with NMC in the Sedins+Eriksson. Which left us only 4 spots, and I see Horvat and Sutter each take up one of the spot so which leave us with 2 spots to have to potentially protect guys like Baertchi, Etem, Granlund, Gaunce, Rodin. It is going to be tough call for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what makes me torn, I would love to see guys like Baertchi, Rodin, Etem etc. take a big step forward but also afraid of losing them to the expansion draft. I hope we don't lose someone that is impactful going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Kind of silly for a player like Shinkaruk to need protection when a player like Panarin doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I'd choose my boo Granlund but I think this franchise has invested too much time and energy in Gaunce to leave him exposed; plus he's held his own for the most part in call ups. Etem is developing nicely, finally. I feel like he'd get snatched up quick, especially for so cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about Hansen is that he will be 30 by then and only 1 year left in his contract and assuming the direction Vegas is heading is towards a more youthful group of players, he might be exposed and not being picked up. Or best case scenario is we trade Hansen to another team for draft picks next year prior to the expansion draft and then Hansen plays 1 year with that team we traded to and come back the following season as a mentor for kids again.
