Devon Jade Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Darn it! We could have gotten Yakupov easily with Franchise Goalie Bachman. He was undefeated last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams can only protect 1 goalie and right now that means Tampa could only protect 1 of Bishop/Vasilevsky and Pittsburgh could only protect 1 of Fleury/Murray. If Vegas was able to get 2 of those 4 goalies in the draft they would have one of the top tandems in the league. Pretty confident that Vasi and Murray get protected (you just don't give away the future so fast). So they won't be able to take on both Fleury and Bishop (obviously 1 or the other)...but I see your point. Does give them a bit of a decision to make (do they risk leaving a half decent player exposed, in order to protect an additional player, in the hopes that their exposed goalie is more valuable to LV than the player left exposed)...let the games begin.

Fluery has a nmc and must be protected while bishop is a Ufa. It would be a huge risk for lv to take a player that can choose not to sign with them on July 1st.
