The Coyotes drafted Daniel Briere with their first ever pick and had him wear a jersey with no logo, look at how that all turned out! The Creator is just following a well worn path to success!

Wait it was a weird shirt with the logo.

So the Vegas team is going to take 30 contracts and then waive a bunch of dudes? I'd imagine they sign a free agent or 3 so what is going to happen to all those guys.

How on earth could they use Nighthawks in a league with the Blackhawks?

Desert Knights is far better.

Change the racist name and it works!

You already do, its the list of players on The Detroit Red Wings roster.

The thing to remember with UFAs is that Vegas can sign them and then that'd constitute as their pick from that team, so having several UFAs isn't too bad if you think Vegas can sign them. Still, I doubt they'll sign somebody like Shattenkirk who seems destined for the Rangers. I also doubt the Oilers won't protect Letestu.

If the Oilers protect a 34 year old special teams specialist with one year left on his deal over someone with cheap control and term then Chiarelli is dumber than I think.

I don't expect them to be within a point of the playoffs like the Panthers were.

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

Kris Russell come on down!

Hahaha that dumb fucker McPhee took Sbisa and the Canucks didn't even have to bribe him.

I'm really hoping someone is trading for him tomorrow.

GMGM doesn't want to piss anyone off.

He could have a borderline playoff roster today if he'd chosen to be aggressive. Instead he has a really, really historically lovely team. Maybe a tad better than Columbus or Atlanta's inaugural teams, but not much and that was definitely not what the league was going for.

We have no idea what the actual roster is going to look like. 8-12 of these guys are going to be traded before the season starts, and they can sign UFAs.

I really think some of those really bad picks are in order to stock the AHL team with guys that won't get claimed.

I'm praying to the allmighty Wayner that Sbisa is being traded elsewhere.

And Gusev was the third player on that line. Won't be shocked when he comes in Vegas' second season.

I doubt they're trading Jason Garrisson if they had him walk out wearing a jersey.

And the rumour is Miller to the Leafs.

Obviously they were not going to be good, but let's not pretend this team isn't significantly worse than what it could have been.

But they don't want to be any good. They want a few good players to excite fans and a bunch of stuff they could easily trade.
