GDT: Expansion Draft IV: It's Happening
- Thread starter Beef Invictus
- Start date
Agreed it's an impressive package... and Vegas can keep that package, make their picks, and build a heck of a team.
Not interested in trading our dollar bill for a half-dollar and two quarters.

I hate this team
Vegas did add 2 1st rounders, 3 2nd rounders, Gusev and Theodore. That's a pretty good start for an expansion team.
Trade #2 for #6, #13 and Gusev....then get Provy, Rubstov and Viribyov in the phones!

The Devils should honestly jump on that offer for #1. They have too many holes to fix and getting Nico or Nolan won't be enough to pull the team out of the abyss cause they aren't McDavid or Matthews.

If Dallas trades the #3 pick for Methot & #13 pick Jim Nill should be institutionalized.
If they're serious about moving the #3 pick Tanev is really the only defensemen on the market that makes sense as a basis of a deal.

That's closer. I personally wouldn't do it though. Methot is 32, has two years left on his deal, and isn't a player who could put Dallas over the top.

Very true.
Plus, they would send then all back to Jr....then be a bottom 10 team again next year in a good draft.

Referring to Minnesota moving a defensemen:
Scandella was linked to Montreal prior to the trade freeze.

Agree, but Dallas is set up to compete now with Bishop and they say they are hot for Methot

Hmm. I don't think Vegas makes that offer, 6,13,15 for 1,to get Nolan Patrick. Starting from scratch, Vilardi or Glass and Necas or Suzuki and Vesailanen would be a much quicker route to respectability.

I would only make that deal if Cody Glass was there at #6. I wouldn't be able to assume that he would though so it would be tough to pull the trigger there imo.

I think you could do it with 6 on the clock because Patrick is the pick at 2 either way. I just don't think you could ask them to hold to 13 or anything like that.

I'd do 2 for 6,13,15, contingent on two things, Hextall wants to go off the board at our current spot and we can package 13+15 to move up to 5 or 7.
Two of Glass/Vilardi/Middlestadt/Pettersson/Makar/Heiskanen is quite a haul, especially again if Hex, for whatever reason, wants to go off the board at 2 and McPhee is crazy enough to offer that package, to begin with.
If Hex wants Nico/Nolan, no deal.

this shouldn't be this stressful, but it is
The only way I would support trading out of 2 is if Nolan was medically red flagged by our staff

Apart from a few names, the D they drafted is old and bad, and they are also up to 13 with only a few that can be sent down.
How do they go about traiding those players? The only players that have value are the one Vegas needs in the future.
This team will be left with 7 or 8 old, slow, bottom pair Dman.

All this worry about trading the 2nd is misplaced. The Flyers (as it seems every other team in the league did) seem to love Bellemare and didn't want to lose him. Somehow we've managed to fluke the 2nd overall pick, lose our worst skater to FA and our second worst to Vegas.
Life is good.
