Where is Flamesjustread? He can probably help you with this.
Oh he was there except nothing Duck fans were saying was realistic at all.

I just wanted to make clear. Has Murray come out and publicly said that the ducks aren't gonna lose something major this expansion draft. Like to the media, or is this speculation by ducks fans part that he would be smart enough to make a deal. If he's said s publicly, than there is nothing to worry and this thread will be funny, but for ducks fan being right all along. But if he hasn't and duck fans thought he would he smart enough to do than they could end up losing a major player or set of picks/prospects.
Yes he has.
Yes he has.
Ritchie + Theodore + 2nd + 4th to not select both Dmen
Ritchie + Theodore + 2nd + 4th to not select both Dmen
Or dumb?
But you're missing the part where they never get the 26 year old Dman. It's either make a trade with the Ducks to get those assets, or force them to "jump through hoops" and leave you with nothing. Neither scenario gives Vegas an actual chance to select Manson or Vatanen if we agree that Anaheim would have indeed jumped through said hoops if they were forced to.
Then nothing to worry about lol. Fans of other teams are gonna be upset/disappointed that another team isn't losing good assets. As a leaf fan I would have loved to get Manson or vantanen from Vegas but if they are protected I'm gonna go around and try and create a false narrative on ducks being in trouble. Do you think that the ducks would have done something like Theodore, 2017 1st for the knights to choose kerdile and leave both Manson and vantanen along. Or is that too much?

That's great you think you know what is going to happen with your team
I'm less inclined to believe you
Thanks for pointing this out, I have been forgetting to you my brain lately. Don't know what I would have done if you didn't point it out

So you think the Ducks would rather do that than trade Vatanen and buyout Bieksa? Seems insane to me.
Oh he was there except nothing Duck fans were saying was realistic at all.
Again, for the umpteenth time, we do have a clue.
The ONLY reason Bieksa did not waive, and the ONLY reason Vatanen is still a Duck is because there is a deal in place to protect the Anaheim ducks.
Please try to understand this.
half the world is being ignorant and saying "Anaheim is screwed. They have to pay the full price of both Vatanen and Manson" Which is insanely incorrect.
It just isn't correct.
It's possible, but considering how high the team is on Theo, I have a hard time seeing his loss as being 'nothing major'. We don't have a 2017 first, so it would have to be the 1st in 2018 or Jones. Seeing as Vatanen will be dealt, I imagine that trading a 1st in 2018 could be dealt on the expectation that they'd be getting a 1st back in that deal to cover the loss.
Yeah, that will be pretty illuminating.Oh ok thanks. Will be interesting to see what the deal actually is and what Murray defines as nothing major.
Ritchie + Theodore + 2nd + 4th to not select both Dmen
We can revisit that after we see what happens maybe? Nice of you, though.
Okay, then I'd force the division rival to jump through hoops, and wait to see if they could, or could not.
I'd force the division rival to potentially put buyout cap money on the books for Bieksa. I'd force the division rival to potentially trade an injured (albeit back in October/November) Vatanen for less than $1 to $1.
And then, if the division rival could not accomplish all of these things they needed to, I'd select a great d-man in Manson, or a good d-man in Vatanen.
That's just me.
Again. Wednesday. Not far away. Happy to wait and see. Happy to be wrong.
Didn't you lose an avatar bet because you insisted Fleury wouldn't waive his NMC?

I'm confused.
It confuses me more than anything, tbh
While Anahiem and Minnesota can potentially make a deal to keep their team in tact, the other 29 teams can now make offers to LVK. Essentially, the Ducks and Wild are now bidding with other teams to keep a guy.
If say team A is interested in Manson or Vatanen / Dumba; they are now able to offer LVK something to take said player and then trade with them. They will have to outbid other teams to keep their players. Manson/Vatanen and Dumba are now trade chips that can be used by LVK.
I'm confused.
I don't know what to say on this one.
buying out bieksa was the smart move.
Why would Vegas want any less though ; doing a solid for a team and gaining reputation is one thing - missing the boat on a building block Dman...would be asinine.
