SinBin: SinBin Expansion Draft Report: First Quarter

[Bart9349]

Here's an interesting review of the expansion draft so far this year:


Expansion Draft Report Card - First Quarter Year 1 - SinBin.vegas

We’ve hit the quarter pole of the Golden Knights first season in franchise history. With it comes no better time to begin what’s going to become a staple here at SinBin.vegas, the Expansion Draft Report Card. There will be five report cards per year starting with this one. The next is the mid-term, then the 3rd quarter, then the final. The 5th will come following free agency and the draft heading into the Golden Knights second season.
Each selection is graded based on value. Factors taken into consideration rank as follows: Play of player selected, impact on franchise currently, impact moving forward, and other options that were not taken.

Good to see I'm not the only one pretty high on Leipsic, he seems to have done everything asked of him but score... maybe we should ask him to score lol

I forgot that VGK received from the Jets the Nick Suzuki draft pick during the expansion draft:

According Sinbin:

Winnipeg Jets
Selection: Chris Thorburn
**TRADE: Golden Knights receive 1st round pick (#13) and 3rd round pick for 1st round pick (#24)**

The Golden Knights gave the Jets a pass on the Expansion Draft in exchange for a 3rd round pick and a nine spot jump in the first round of this the Entry Draft. That nine spot jump got the Golden Knights Nick Suzuki. It’s going to take a while before we know what Suzuki ends up being, but he appears to be a good one. Of course, all the credit doesn’t go on Winnipeg as the original pick came from Columbus. Nonetheless, moving up in the first round is always valuable and there wasn’t much else there from Winnipeg to take a look at. Grade: B+
Overall Grade: B+
