Apparently Vegas is taking Tomas Nosek from the Red Wings, which I guess says a lot about Vegas' opinion of the "talent" on the Wings since they picked him instead of Mrazek, Ouellet, or Sheahan.

It says a lot about the Golden Knights.

I won't believe it until I see it, but if he's taking who the rumours leak him as having taken, then he is worse than we ever could have imagined.

It would be like giving Benning or Bergevin the reigns to an expansion team.

Can confirm that Philipp Grubauer *was not* selected by the Vegas Golden Knights. Means it's likely that D Nate Schmidt is the pick.

That seems....bad for the Caps. Schmidt was their best d in the playoffs I thought. Grubauer is pretty good too though so I guess it was always lose/lose.

I mean, when you've got someone like Fleury between the pipes until he retires why would you want guys like Grubeaur, Raanta, Korpisalo, or Mrazek?

Possible they'll trade him back to the Caps for Grubauer plus picks/prospects, no?

unless there are teams out there who really wanted Emelin or Sbisa and Vegas is taking them to then flip them then what the gently caress are they doing

Either that or they're committed to being really terrible for a few years

I think whoever the guy was (Captain Internet I think?) that was saying last week that GMGM was going to carefully avoid pissing other GMs off with his picks has turned out to be right, even though I joined in making fun of him at the time

GMGM is probably an idiot who buys into the "West hockey is about being big and hitting" nonsense that hasn't been true since the Kings won the cup

Emelin and Sbisa going UFA after a season, while getting draft picks for two lottery teams next year?

I get it. I can't say that I agree with it (no attack, no chance), but I guess it makes sense in a way? Competitive in 4 years versus competitive in 2 seasons, though.

Montreal isn't a lottery team as long as the Atlantic's around, and they didn't get a pick from them.

GMGM has to be nice because he has no alternative to trading over the next few years. With no pool of prospects he's going to make a dozen trades over the next couple years, I'd guess. Other than waivers, he's kinda at the mercy of the other GMs until he has a few years of draft picks.

gently caress GMGM. gently caress him for the Erat trade, gently caress him for failing to ever address the Capitals needs, and gently caress him for taking Schmidt.

Grumblings that William Carrier was the Sabres pick and Jon Merrill the Devils pick. I figured Merrill would go. What a disappointing player.
