I assume you're talking about the rest of the Penguins franchise - all of whom were dragged, kicking and screaming, to the promised land by the raw, undeniable talents of one Justin Schultz.

I want what you're smoking in pill form please lol

Time to come back to the OP:

-> done.

With Las Vegas announced as an expansion franchise and the expansion draft occurring June 21st, 2017, teams are going to into full draft dodge mode. Money is being burned on players not worthy of it, contract length is insane and trades make no sense. All in an effort to use the protected status on the good players and leave these god awful shit contracts exposed to drafting.

So, who do you think will be a Las Vegas Golden Knights by the start of 2018?

Fleury just waived his no-movement clause.

That's the kind of trade that can get a GM fired.

I'm not a big fan of Sergachev so im super happy with this deal. I've seen about 70 games of Sergachev and his defensive IQ is questionable, it takes him way too long to make plays.. his decision making is just super slow. He won't get those extra 2-3 seconds that he needs to make a play in the NHL, that's gonna hurt him a lot imo.

If Sergachev turns into a legit top pairing dman then i'll give the edge to Tampa (because dmen are worth more than wingers).. but Drouin is already a legit 1st liner in my eyes and he still has a ton of untapped potential. Like i said i'm not even sure how well Sergachev can transfer over his play-style to the NHL, he still needs to work a ton on his game.

most people seem to think Sergachev is at worst a lock for a top 4 dman. This was a product of the cap situation. As mentioned above, Kucherov was getting that 3rd monster contract. Johnson and Palat are gonna command big hunks of money too

Don't be surprised if Galchenyuk for Brodin ends up happening. Montreal needs a defensive LD (who can skate well) that can play with Weber, Minny can't protect all their dmen so they're probably gonna move 1 (most think it'll be Dumba but we don't need him, certainly not for Galchenyuk). Galchenyuk is also born in Milwaukee.

That said i'm not a big fan of Galchenyuk either

. He's a puck hog who's garbage defensively, i really hope he gets moved.

he's a perfect example of what good player usage can do to someone. Though Edmonton had no choice but to put him vs top opponents during his time there

Vegas should take Brodin and Dumba and then flip them both for Justin Schultz.

Then ice a team of just goalies and Schultz and finish ahead of Colorado. Easy.
