so they arent taking dehaan then?

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Islanders valued Pelech at the value of a 1st + whoever Vegas selects ?

Garth Snow

 

[hamzarocks]

Damn the golden knights are gonna have so many 1sts in this draft

Isles protected 5 D, I imagine this trade is to lay off some forwards.

 

[Goulet17]

Isles protected 5 D, I imagine this trade is to lay off some forwards.

So de Haan would be the selection?

Snow is probably looking at keeping at much intact as possible at the moment, as his near term future as GM may depend more an more on near term on-ice results.

 

[Deutschland Dangler]

If I'm Pittsburgh for example, I might even think about beating that first rounder.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Lmao

 

[KopitarFAN]

so they arent taking dehaan then?

I assumed it would be Brock Nelson they would stay away from, given NYI is protecting 5 D anyway.

 

[Mitchy]

If Vegas walks away with a 1st + CDH...

 

[masinaLFC]

1st + de haan for not taking forwards? that's ridiculous

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I thought league wanted Vegas to keep its deals secret?

 

[IslesNorway]

This is not confirmed yet as it only Dreger reporting "sources say"..

 

[PriceIsGod]

"To protect forwards" lmao.. If they get a first and de haan islanders wtf lmao

 

[Strait2thecup]

1st plus cdh to protect strome and Nelson..... hey snow, quit your ****ing job

 

[Kevin27NYI]

TSN basing off of Dreger tweet yes? My bet is that Darren didn't think to include CDH. Staple in his tweet mentioned him.

 

[xECK29x]

It's likely our 1st + Grabovski's contract + maybe a lesser prospect, we'll see.

 

[Evergreen]

Islanders valued Pelech at the value of a 1st + whoever Vegas selects ?

It makes sense if the guy Vegas agrees to select is Ladd or someone else with negative value.

 

[c_robio]

It must include dehaan. Ridiculous if not

 

[gamer1035]

So they give up a first even though Vegas is gonna take CDH anyways?

This expansion draft is exposing the bad gms.

A backup goalie should've never become gm overnight.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

My guess is Vegas gets the Islanders' first this year but the Isles choose whom Vegas selects in the expansion draft.

 

[hockeyheadlines]

Well you know...but...what the...come on now...can't be...not April 1st...they really did?

 

[Kevin27NYI]

This is why I hate Dreger. Now I have to hear about de Haan being taken because this ass doesn't put out full info.

There is no one worth it when it comes to speculating for the Isles, Staple is the best and he's a 50/50 shot. Darren Dreger just assumes it's the forwards.

I think what we see shake out is that it's a first and Vegas has to select someone less desirable like Hickey/Kulemin. Grabovski isn't eligible btw.

 

[tade]

But doesn't it mean for example that Islanders will pay 1st round pick and Vegas will select for example Ben Holmstrom? Someone not valuable given the fact that Islanders will hand Vegas their 1st round pick or eventually even more.

?
