Help me out here.
Vegas is going to take 30 players and all of them will be guys who can't be sent to the minors without waivers (because of the expansion draft rules).
An NHL roster is 23 players.
So Vegas is going to have to take 7 guys who will be put on waivers in training camp. Possibly more after free agency.
That should make waivers very interesting in September. It puts Colorado in a good spot to grab some good players.
Are there any special Vegas waiver rules for those extra guys? Can their old teams reclaim them first?
Or maybe Vegas drafts 7 guys and then trades them straight away for picks? That would make the most sense for them, right? But they would still have to draft the guys before trading them back or elsewhere and that's gotta shake things up.
