I would say they're taking Dano, but maybe if they like Emelin they also like Marc Stuart.

We should contract a team every even year and add an expansion every odd year.

I'll throw out my first suggestions:

contract the Detroit Dead Wings in 2018

then expand to Detroit in 2019 because I hear that's a city with a dedicated hockey fanbase, and they're almost finished with a new arena that can host hockey games

e: Worth pointing out Berube is an UFA, so no idea whether or not this means he'll get signed by Vegas or they're just taking his rights for a few days.

McPhee apparently really liked berube when he was with the isles so I wouldn't be surprised

I mean I should be because berube is awful but that would be very cool

McPhee seems like a gigantic dumbass based on some of these rumors/leaks but maybe there are a ton of side deals that will make some of these names make more sense.

They got a lovely goalie, a salary dump, and a mid-first round draft pick in a weak draft when they could have had a sure thing in either Brock Nelson or Calvin de Haan that you HOPE the first round pick turns into.

Bah, that's a shame, Lindberg was solid for us at the end of last year. I guess I should be happy we're keeping grabners scoring but I feel like he's going to go cold this year.

Emelin is less a defensemen and more of a meat tube in a jersey so I'm not sure the number would change.

Did anyone test to see if GMGM is still compus mentis? Some of these player choices and deals are just mind-bogglingly awful.
