Maybe the Islanders wouldn't have to give up so much if they hadn't decided to protect Adam loving Pelech over De Haan, Hickey or Nelson.

Florida and Anaheim must be giving up a helluva lot in trade given their exposed player lists.

this is okay. this is fine. this is just, great.

Good lord Dale Tallon is an idiot unless he was truly that desperate to get rid of Reilly Smith.

Eric Haula has been signed by the Knights, so it sounds like he's been traded there in exchange for not selecting Dumba, Scandella or Staal. Alex Tuch and a pick goes along with Haula.

Haula isn't anything special but Tuch is supposed to be pretty decent, right?

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

A bunch of decent defensemen available, the only two that Vegas has picked so far are Methot and Schlemko

Colin Miller is good

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

Sbisa AND Emelin?


Don't tease, man. Don't tease.

Thoughts:

Good Picks: Perron, Neal, Marchessault (w/ Reilly Smith), Carrier, Schmidt, Leipsic, Lindberg, Schlemko, Miller, Stoner (w/ Shea Theodore)

Meh Picks: Haula, Karlsson, Eakin, Fleury, McNabb, Merrill, Van Reimsdyk, Nosek, Garrison (w/ Gusev)

Jesus poo poo-loving Christ Someone Put Grandpa McPhee In A Home Picks: Engelland, Sbisa, Berube, Emelin, Bellemare, Ceci


Also apparently the Pens gave Vegas *something* to ensure they picked Fleury, but what that is hasn't been announced yet.

There's also speculation Vegas took Emelin and Sbisa due to there apparently being a market for them? I mean, Anaheim can only field so many defenseman.

This just serves as proof that there are GMs who don't actually watch hockey.
