I don't get the Biega love affair.... 

It's the expansion rule.  They want Biega to play 19 games at least. It's asset management. If you send Biega down and Sbisa suffers a season ending injury then we risk having to trade for a d man or losing one of Edler Tanev Hutton or Gudbranson for nothing.

 

It's smart. They know we aren't a cup contender anyway, why mortgage the future. And Pedan isn't that great, really.

Each team needs to expose one dman with a minimum nhl experience of 40 games this season or 70 combined from this year and last year for Las Vegas to choose. Biega played 51 games last year so if he gets to 70 then we can expose him instead of Edler Tanev Gudbranson or Hutton.

You have to have a veteran D-man to offer for the expansion draft, with a minimum number of games played in the last 2 years. Biega hits that magic number in 19 games.

 

Sbisa could be the guy, but if he misses enough games to injury he won't qualify. Also, having 2 guys allows you to trade 1. Biega may have value as a trade chip prior to the expansion draft just for this reason.
