Speculation: Elliotte Friedman rumblings Vadim Shipachyov

[Natey]

Some of these lineups seem pretty potent, but I would imagine that we would lose some of these defensemen in the Las Vegas expansion draft. I think that we don't need to protect Radulov, but are we really going to protect only 4 forwards in order to keep Fowler, Weber, Petry and Beaulieu?

If that happens, I honestly doubt we protect Beaulieu unless he makes big strides this season.

going to close this since every thread on Shipachyov just goes off the rails. If we sign him then we can re-open this thread.
