i'm buying a Vegas jersey or at least a shirsey if they do us a solid and pick up Skille

:alonehappy:

Count me as a fan of VGK's jersey - home any away look great. http://tu9srvbirvvtmtykas5yzwrklml0....lwZQ%3D%3D_$/$

WOW I really like that picture

No surprise as McDavid wins the Ted Lindsay Award

Bergeron wins the Selke and ties Bob Gainey for his 4th Selke which is top in NHL history.

Pretty cool that Gainey handed Bergeron the trophy

BYE SBISA

Peace out Sbisa.

COL: Calvin Pickard (G)
VAN: Luca Sbisa (D)
ARI: Pulkkinen (F)
NJ: Jon Merrill (D)
BUF: William Carrier (F) + 2017 6th round pick (6th round pick was thrown in so VGK wouldn't pick Linus Omark)
DET: Tomas Nosek (F)
DAL: Cody Eakin (F)
FLA: Jon Marchessault (F) + Riley Smith (F) + 2018 4th round pick
LAK: Brayden McNabb (D)

How do the trades work..? So the teams give additional players in order for VGK to pick certain players?

im sure part of the franchise expansion negotiations was that the team would see, or at least have an avenue to some benefit to the $500m fee they had to pay to join the league.

Minnesota, Columbus, Nashville, and Atlanta paid $80m in 99ish.

I'm looking at the unprotected list for FLA and can't figure out who they were "protecting".

Was it Demers/McKenzie? Someone else? Why would they go to great lengths to throw in player AND pick for LV to pick up Marchessault.

King Clancy Award: Nick Foligno
NHL Foundation Player Award: Travis Hamonic
Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award: Nick Foligno

Bob McKenzie: I'm presuming FLA had to reduce its budget. In order to move Smith's contract, Marchessault had to be used as inducement. A $ deal IMO.

Fuck. Why not Dorsett?

I doubt Tanev is going to be moved anymore after Sbisa is gone. No more No. 3 pick unless benning pull something out of his ass.

Kesler's trade tree basically for Sutter and Gudbranson now

Calder:

Matthews (winner)
Laine
Werenski

"No matter who wins, they're all going to have the most boring celebration night in Vegas" :lol

lol Garrison... looks thrilled eh?

CAR: Connor Brickley (F) + 2017 5th round pick
WPG: Chris Thorburn + 1st round pick (Not sure which year - TBD)
PHI: Pierre-Edouard Bellemare (F)
TBL: Jason Garrison (D) + Nikita Gusev + 2017 2nd round + 2018 4th round (damnnnn)
NYI: J.F. Berube (G) + Grabovski (F), Jake Bishchoff (D), 2017 1st round pick, 2019 2nd round pick (!!!)
NSH: James Neal
CGY: Deryk Engelland (signed to new contract)

STL: David Perron (F)
NYR: Oscar Lindberg (F)
EDM: Griffin Reinhart (D)
MON: Alexei Emelin (D)

man watching the Bryan Bickell video and hearing him speak was a tear jerker

Canucks now literally had a two time Stanley Cup coach and a Jack Adams winner behind the bench 2 years ago.

High expectations for Gully next season

Torts was terrible for the Canucks, doesn't matter what he did/does elsewhere. Also, he's a one-time Stanley Cup coach and a two-time Jack Adams winner.

Jack Adams is basically the coach of the team who exceeded expectations by the most.
