Lol. He'll be 25 at the start of next season, he had a very good AHL playoffs but far from a "monster" season. Wings have plenty of bottom 6 talent and Nosek isn't really special. Personally I think LV is so focused on tanking they didn't want to take anyone good from Detroit, something that could help Detroit be worse than LV.Nosek just had a monster season in the AHL as well, and had a monster season in the Czech league before that. He's a good prospect. This hurts the already poor Detroit forward prospect pool more than it hurts Vegas.
I realize they want to build their own culture from the ground up but looks more like a tank job the first season. I genuinely thought VGK were going to be a bubble team in their first season but it seems they wanna draft high in 2018 by the looks of it.
They went gor picks rather than best player available on many teams and the good players they actually took are rumoured as trade bait for even more picks.

Good move to not select a bunch of goalies, they do have the least value. Question some other moves though but will wait until the other deals are done before final judgement.

The biggest question mark was a 6th rounder not to take Ullmark. That's...ridiculous. Lindberg over Raanta is questionable. Schmidt over Grubauer is a good choice.
Thought Pulkkinen would be in Europe as soon as next season. Didn't Arizona have any decent player available?

How many first rounders did Vegas acquire in total? My count is 3. I was expecting like 6 or 7... not sure they really hit a home-run yesterday. Give them a B-
What other teams were they supposed to get a 1st rounder from?
Minnesota, Anaheim. Dumba and Vatanen are worth ATLEAST a first, probably a first and a second, to any other team in the leauge. I dont get why they would agree to a lesser asset to not take those players. Its like getting a nickel not to take the dime.
Winnipeg gave up a first rounder to protect a lesser player.
Winnipeg didn't give up a 1st rounder.
Minnesota, Anaheim. Dumba and Vatanen are worth ATLEAST a first, probably a first and a second, to any other team in the leauge.
Tuch and Theodore are recent 1st round picks whose value hasn't dropped.
Dumba, Vatanen
