While it's nice they're covering the cost of the Niemi buyout for us I ask that the Wild steal their own history fair and square.

I don't know what's gotten into Sven Andrighetto lately, but good for him. Dude scored twice tonight, he now has 7-4-11 in 13 games with Colorado. Plus the Flames won, one more win and they're in for sure, so best possible result, really, I've always liked Sven.

Siiiiiigh

Isn't one of the draft rules is that a player from each team must be chosen?

Basically, Canucks potential available players are so bad they aren't considered to be part of the top 23 for Vegas (in their opinion, anyways), but Vegas will have to take one.

I wish they would just go back to the North Stars name. I don't think it's any more confusing than having the Blues and Blue Jackets or Reds and Red Sox and they have to get rid of the Wild name.

I don't really find that metaphor applicable, but whatever. Happy to count the money, good for HRR.

Pierre LeBrun and Joe McDonald have Vegas winding up with Ferland from the Flames?

He'll be protected. He's become a perfect fit on the top line with Gaudreau and Monahan. The Flames have been really high on him for years and it's paying off.

Brouwer/Stajan/Bouma are the likely bets on F.

No, you see the flames are so deep at RW that they will let go Micheal so we can have more Alex Chiasson, top line winger. Someone i seriously wonder if some of these guys who write about hockey actually watch hockey.

Even I don't think Benning is that stupid. Hutton, Tryamkin and Stecher are all exempt, so it's three of Tanev, Edler, Gudbranson or Sbisa and I'm pretty sure Tanev is going to be protected.

Lowry is 23, has a cap hit of $1.125m, and is a RFA after next seasons.
Perrault is 29, has a cap hit of $4.125m, and is signed for four more seasons.

They could replace Perrault with a UFA of similar age/cost.

Lowry is a 4th line centre and Perreault is a top line winger, look at how wrong this post is

They both play 16 minutes per night and Perrault is the #6 forward on a team whose next best option is noted fourth line center Adam Lowry.

Sure you could take the consistent 40-point forward who can play all positions and situations signed to a reasonable contract... but then again, he is a bit short.

Better go with the second-rate Patrik Berglund
