Hey guys, good luck this year. Great to see a new team in the mix.
Official 23 Man Roster - Don't Freak Out Edition.
- Thread starter BattleBorn
- Start date

unlikely as that would mean Ship is still off the roster. A Dman or goalie is probably moved in the next 3 days.
Since Vegas doesn't play till later, this roster doesn't screen final version to me. A few moves to free up spaces for Shipachev, Theodore, Tuch etc are likely in the works.
They are waiver exempt, which safely buys them time to make such moves.
However, if no moves are made in the next couple days...

Did GMGM pick Subban up for a possible deal elsewhere?
Say another team wanted Subban, but, knew that they were too high up in the Waiver order to get him. So, they call GMGM up and offer a pick, or a bigger deal, for claiming him. I'm not sure if that's allowed or not. Just trying to come up with justifiable scenarios.

This.
I'm not worried at all. They've got a few days to figure this out. Ken at Sinbin mentioned the convention that GMs generally don't pick players up off of waivers after their team has played their first game, so GMGM might just be trying to sneak a few guys down after most of the teams play their first games.
Still wondering about Subban and the prospects for a trade, but again...not worrying.

Damn. You guys aren't high on Sbisa are ya?
I thought he was really improving in Vancouver. He was terrible in year 1, but He was really good last year. Give the guy a chance, your opinions will change.

is a big fat mess.
I'd honestly prefer keeping Sbisa. Colborne is one of the most frustrating players to have in a lineup, he has the size and ability to be a solid 3rd liner but he looked as if he couldn't care less last year.

I'm actually curious to see what he can do when he plays down the lineup. Most of the people who said he was terrible are referring to when the Canucks slotted him into the top-pair, which he can't seem to handle. If we can put him on the bottom pair, I think he'll do fine.
Honestly, I thought he'd be the guy we trade, but now it looks like he'll be an Alternate Captain this season:

No I’m sorry but Sbisa is trash. You guys might get some entertainment from watching his hilariously bad decision making though

Subban was on the ice for practice. There is pictures and video of it.

Why is Ship not skating. I thought the transaction was only on paper.
My God, seems there is no trade in sight only bla bla bla

We don't really need any Canuck on Canuck violence going on here on HfVegas.
From what I've seen of Sbisa when I got to see him, I wasn't high on his play. I've got an open mind though. I'm sure we'll see more.

the funny thing is I don't think he understands a word of English so he might be really confused right now

Doubtful. If another team higher (or lower) in the order submitted a claim then Vegas isn't free to trade Subban.

The only time "paper" transactions kinda works is around trade deadline. Otherwise the guys have to be "en route" to AHL for the assignment.

Brandon Pirri signed, read an article saying Ship should be in the lineup Friday. Im expecting a multi player trade after seeing the Pirri signing*. thats all speculation but makes sense

Tomorrow (Thursday) at noon EST could be an interesting deadline. If GM can't get a trade deal swung by then it might make sense to waive Subban or another player so they can call up Ship on Friday.

It would but GMGM said he is staying up. If nothing happens I'm guessing they waive Griffin Reinhart
