Not Great, Bob!
LOL, maybe I dreamt the whole thing...swear I saw it somewhere.
I saw that too and then checked on it later the same day. I think it was a fake account/false rumor some Avs fan on Twitter must've retweeted.

He could have a 'Dave Andreychuk-like' rebound season when everyone thought he was done. But for me it's not about the points, it's all the board battles that he can't seem to come on top of anymore. He's just not a viable top-6 option anymore and he's a borderline 3rd line option at this point because of his lack of speed.
The sooner he's off the books, the better, imo.
During a normal season, NHL teams are strictly prohibited from speaking to pending UFAs until the league year begins on July 1st. However, if a UFA is left unprotected in the Expansion Draft, Las Vegas will be granted exclusive rights to negotiate a contract with the player during the three day draft period on June 17-20. If Las Vegas comes to an agreement with a player, and a deal is signed, that player is considered Vegas’ selection in the draft from the UFAs current team.
For example, San Jose elects to leave Joe Thornton exposed in the Expansion Draft. Las Vegas will have the opportunity to speak to Thornton from the 17th to the 20th to discuss a contract. If an agreement is reach, and an official deal is signed, Thornton becomes the one player Las Vegas has selected from the Sharks. His 2017-18 contract will be used toward the 60% cap rule, and no other team ever had an opportunity to negotiate with him.
Not to distract, but what are you referencing here? Dave Andreychuk swam the seas of mediocrity for about 5 straight seasons before retiring.
I'm trying to remember the last time there was an expansion draft - has anyone really good ever been taken/lost/exposed unexpectedly? All I remember are teams full of Kelly Buchberger's and Wes Walz's.
Hmmm.. Maybe Las Vegas will take Johnny Malkin or Patrick Wiercioch if either are left unsigned. I could definitely see Wiercioch being a possible Vegas signing.

Maybe the hockey gods will feel sorry for us and LV will sign Iggy haha.
A team of cast aways beat us once upon a time in the playoffs. Wes Walz happened to be on said team.
If they really feel sorry for us...they will find a way for LV to hire Tim Army.
Anyways, makes me wonder when Barrie's ask will come out...
Mrazek asking for 5M, Detroit offering a 2 year at 2.7M and 3.1M.
I hope he gets close to 5 and handcuffs them! Anyways, makes me wonder when Barrie's ask will come out...

Ha, I wish.
We'll see how things go this season. In a perfect world, one of the kids really steps up and makes Soderberg expendable. The problem solves itself.

How we gonna manage arbitration on wednesday with Ken Holland
One thing I see happening is that Barrie's ask for an arbitration deal is going to be less than his ask on a long term deal. So say Barrie's ask is $5.5M or $6M for the 1 or 2 years, everyone is going to be wondering why the Avs are so cheap and they should give him at least that much for 8 years. I suspect I will be annoyed after the numbers come out.
