Vegas starting line-up.

 

[NY2LV]

Sharp - Marchessault - Strome
Stempniak - Karlsson - Rust
Chiasson - Grigorenko - Ward
*J.T. Brown

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Perron - Staal - Marchessault
Boedker - Shipachyov - Radulov
Watson - Lindberg - Rust
Dano - Burmistrov - Weise

Leftovers: Shore, Calvert, Chiasson, Pakarinen, Bennett

De Haan - Vatanen
Schmidt - Miller
TvR - Sustr

Leftovers: Dahlbeck, Hamhuis, Claesson, Marincin

Pickard
Mrazek

Leftovers: Ullmark

Assumption is Radulov can be signed to some contract. Also some sort of deal with CBJ for 1st rounder is in place. If Vats is not available I'd have to go Dumba over Staal.

 

[eco's bones]

Radulov is a UFA. I don't think if you sign him it counts as Montreal losing a player. I think Del Zotto is a UFA too. If you choose or sign an RFA it does count.

In any case both of them are going to be free to sign with any team that wants them come July 1--so there's no point in picking them--just sign them if you can.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

It counts as MTL pick if they sign him to a deal. They have 3 days to figure out if he would sign with Vegas. There s good chance IMO that he does as they can afford any salary he demands and offer him quite good living conditions in Vegas haha If they could agree on a potential contract in these 3 days, Vegas would pick him from MTL.

 

[VanIslander]

I can't seem to get under the cap! I cut out three big contracts and was still $16 million over the cap ceiling.

My wish list includes:

Josh Bailey NYI RW 27 Yes 82 56
Radim Vrbata ARI RW 36 No 81 55
Sam Gagner CBJ C 27 No 81 50
David Perron STL LW 29 Yes 82 46
James Neal NSH RW 29 Yes 70 41
Lee Stempniak CAR RW 34 Yes 82 40
Michael Grabner NYR RW 29 Yes 76 40
Kris Versteeg CGY RW 31 No 69 37
Reilly Smith FLA RW 26 Yes 80 37
Joel Ward SJS RW 36 Yes 78 29
Bryan Rust PIT RW 25 Yes 57 28
Brian Boyle TOR C 32 No 75 25
Trevor Lewis LAK C 30 Yes 82 24
Matt Read PHI RW 31 Yes 63 19
Darren Helm DET C 30 Yes 50

Kevin Shattenkirk WSH D 28 No 80 56
Andrei Markov MTL D 38 No 62 36
Matt Dumba MIN D 22 Yes 76 34
Sami Vatanen ANA D 26 Yes 71 24

Adam McQuaid BOS D 30 Yes 77

They can take a player from Montreal and sign Radulov after the expansion draft is over. Of course then he can listen other offers too, but if Vegas offer is good enough he goes to Vegas.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

LOL if you can sign Radulov, you do it now and don't take the risk for another minor asset you don't really need. Don't give him the chance to go somewhere else, he would make a massive difference for the team if he's on there.

 

[Nalens Oga]

Need to sign one if not two of these guys:

Oshie/Radulov/Sharp/Kovalchuk/Dadonov

I'm happy with the expansion draft forwards available for the bottom six but the top six ones either won't bring enough goals or are too slow or just not very skilled. Radulov would be the ideal one there, I think he has at least 3 years of 55+ point hockey in him.

I'd much rather slightly overpay a couple of those guys than have to take on a Matt Moulson or Brown or Ryan type contract.

 

[HanSolo]

I'd like Oshie from Washington.

 

[masasa]

LOL if you can sign Radulov, you do it now and don't take the risk for another minor asset you don't really need. Don't give him the chance to go somewhere else, he would make a massive difference for the team if he's on there.

Why would Radulov not want to first listen what Montreal and others have to offer?

---------
Then start to load up on assets.
Trade Raanta and Mrazek. Play Fleury/Neuvirth in NHL and Ullmark in AHL.

Then you can try to trade a couple of guys right away or trade them at the trade deadline. Guys like Neal, Methot, Martin and Stempniak.

 

[Matias Maccete]

These teams aren't half had. Probably better than the yotes hahaha.

Pitlick
Mersch

De Haan (One of De Haan/Schmidt immediately flipped for futures)
Schlemko
Megna

Goalies:
Fleury
Neuvirth (immediately flipped to WPG/VAN/PIT)
Pickard
Ullmark

[HanSolo]

I tried but ended up a million dollars over the cap

 

[McDrai]

Oilers fan here, thought I would take a crack at this...cap hit for this roster was $66.2 million and met all of the requirements

 

[VanIslander]

My picks:

James Neal
Cody Eakin
Marcus Kruger
Lee Stempniak
Brock Nelson
Dmitrij Jaskin
Hunter Shinkaruk
Jonathan Marchessault

D

G

Marc-Andre Fleury
Petr Mrazek
Antti Raanta
Michal Neuvirth

These ones would make me very happy!

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

These options really aren't that bad tbh. Could easily compete day in and out but certainly won't be favored most games but they'll be alright

 

[wunderpanda]

Hullo from a rogue Sabre fan

https://www.capfriendly.com/expansion-draft They updated their draft game with new protections, a little easier to look at than the tsn game.

*please don't draft Ullmark
