[TaLoN]

GMGM introduced to "How You Like Me Now?"

Ha, a lot actually after today.

I was all ready to super hate Vegas, but now I'm coming away from this smiling!

I've been super happy all day after the news came out. Kinda crazy to think all it took was Tuch to protect two top 4 dmen and a 1C.

 

[Bruce Granville]

How did you know?

I guess it was a guess.

 

[StealthClobber]

Pulkkinen going to Vegas.

 

[Minnesota]

Vegas gets Pulkkinen from Arizona.

 

[Minnesota]

Wow, this process is cringe-worthy.

 

[Wild11MN]

Wow, this process is cringe-worthy.

Screwed up the order.

The picks themselves are pretty boring, not a lot of excitement from the owner/GM.

 

[Minnesota]

Vegas gets Jonathan Marchessault and Reilly Smith from Florida... But they don't explain the trade very well. What's going Florida's way?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Wow, this process is cringe-worthy.

Not if you have the sound off and Rage Against the Machine bumping.

Also, I'm I Kathryn Tappen fan. She seems smart.

 

[Digitalbooya]

It would be much more exciting if all the selections weren't basically leaked already.

[Minnesota]

Tell me more about NHL 18, Pierre. Tell me more.

Agreed, I've always thought she was very good at what she does.

It would be much more exciting if all the selections weren't basically leaked already.

Agreed on this too.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Suter 5th in Norris voting. Spurgeon 13th.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Wow. Didn't see Suter being that high. Who was 4th?

 

[Minnesota]

Vegas gets Jonathan Marchessault and Reilly Smith from Florida... But they don't explain the trade very well. What's going Florida's way?

Explanation.

 

[Minnesota]

Shot of hockey players in the crowd... Nobody clapping or laughing.

Oohh, Calder coming up.

 

[StealthClobber]

Grabovski eh. Nice for Vegas.

And now James Neal, as expected.

 

[Minnesota]

Jason Garrison didn't look thrilled.

Vegas gets their best expansion player... Neal.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Wow. Didn't see Suter being that high. Who was 4th?

I have no idea. Maybe Doughty? Russo tweeted the Suter/Spurgeon ranking.

Oohh, Calder coming up.

Everyone is probably nervous.

 

[AKL]

Looking at some of these deals, Minnesota did REALLY well

 

[Minnesota]

Wow, Vegas took advantage of NYI's situation. Makes me even more impressed at what Fletcher pulled off.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Gusev could be a nice grab for them.

 

[iLLogik87]

What was Islanders GM thinking????

 

[Digitalbooya]

Just outstanding. Job well done from GMCF.
