Berube's confirmed. It'll be interesting to see who the other one is, though.

Probably Lindberg, if he's the guy they took from the Rangers.

You're right, I was confusing him with Kevan Miller.


Okay, second question: Why was Kevan Miller (who is Not Good) protected, but Colin Miller (who is Good, younger and cheaper) exposed?

if all the reports are true, this is what vegas currently has:



they've reached the cap floor easily, and you can add about 9ish million from RFAs and UFAs

McPhee is a bad GM who was lucky to have drafted good goaltenders on a team with OV.

Unless McPhee has like 15 first round picks in each of the next two entry drafts the reported names are an absolute disaster and he should be fired on the spot.

Somebody has to do the scoring around here.
Well... he said he was going to load up on D and picks.

How bad must some of these guys feel if they are one of the throwaway picks?

I mean... can't they draft some player then flip them back to the team for a 5th? Get something

Local beat writer confirmed Grubauer will not be selected. Likely Schmidt but who knows it could be Orpik or Beagle because McPhee is a retard.

If McPhee didn't acquire at least 10 first round picks tomorrow, he is absolutely the worst GM I have ever seen. Even if I told every team to gently caress-off, no pre-trades whatsoever I could've built a significantly better team. And that's assuming that half the good exposed players weren't even available because they got traded around the league before-hand.

Why would TB give up Gusev just to get rid of Garrison when a) he only has a year left and b) GMGM is apparently dumb enough to take him willingly since c) TB didn't expose anyone else worth a drat anyway?

The story is yzerman is protecting koekkoek and dotchin. But if gusev goes, that means there was never a chance for him to come to tampa anyway.
