If so, I could see LV taking him over Gaunce, just to add some grit to their team. Maybe Dors becomes iffy, due to neck surgery though. Injured Players Players with potential career-ending injuries who have missed the previous 60+ consecutive games due to an injury, do not meet the criteria set forth by the league in respect to the minimum exposure requirements for players, and in certain cases these players may even be deemed as exempt from the Expansion Draft selection process. https://www.capfriendly.com/expansion-draft-faq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Yes I like Gaunce and think he'll have a long career but it's not like we're losing one of Brodin or Dumba. Canucks are probably one of the luckier teams in terms of exposed players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 This wouldn't be very politically correct, but I would have been tempted to ask Eriksson to waive his NMC, knowing that with his cap hit and after last season, it would be unlikely that Vegas would pick him. I would then protect Granlund over Gaunce as he's already showing his upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banksy91 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I think it's a mistake to protect Sutter and expose Gaunce. Doesn't make any sense. I think Gaunce will be as good as Sutter in 3 years which is about when we will be competitive again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaunce is not 'foundational' JB brought Sutter in to sheppard the team through the transition from the Sedin era to one that is relevant. Gaunce can be replaced for less than $1m anytime.

Memories of Slegr Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The deal with Gaunce is that he's a player we want to have in our system. But he hasn't shown enough to warrant a spot on the protected list. Good news is he very possibly won't be taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way people dismiss Gaunce here on CDC though is pretty silly. He is a far more valuable player for us (and into the future hopefully) than people who read stats give him credit for.

They want a veteran presence in net. Giving Miller a one or two year contract to be their starter while they bring along their young net minders might be just what they need. It would make more sense than taking Fluery, because the Pens have better assets than we do in other positions that Vegas could take. Miller is probably our best player, and he's being left exposed. It would make a world of sense. Not far for him to go to LA. Vegas is a hiccup away from LA. Their roster could be better than Van's. Many reasons why it works for Miller. I do not want him resigned in Vancouver. If he did it would likely be for a minimum of 2 years. IMO the CAP could be used for closing deals for picks to the 2017 or 2018 drafts. Markstrom is capable.

Gurn Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Protecting Gudbranson, and his one year deal shows the Canucks have a good deal of optimism regarding re-signing him for extra years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When does Vegas make their expansion picks? They have to submit their selection on Wednesday 10am ET. The reveal will take place during the NHL awards that same evening. Until then teams can continue to negotiate with Vegas - re who to pick on their exposed list. Teams cannot sign players or trade with a team other than Vegas until Thursday 22 June 8am ET.

VegasCanuck Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 We can afford to lose at forward, more than defense. I'd try giving Vegas a mid draft pick for them to take a forward. Looking around the league, there's some pretty fricken good D available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
