Unprotected notables :
Anaheim leaves vatanen and Josh manson
Colorado leaves pickard
Detroit - mrazek
Florida - marchessault and luongo
Minny - dumba, scandella, hanzal
Nsh - James neal
Islanders - Josh Bailey and Brock nelson
Rangers - grabner and raanta
Philli - mdz and neuvirth
Pitts - maf
Wsh - oshie grubauer

This team is gonna be quite good I think.

ANA has a deal most think and Hanzal, MDZ and Oshie are all UFAs. Team is going to be not terrible, but they are going to have a way better prospect pool right off the bat compared to other expansion franchises.

Caps protection list is public:
Ovechkin

Eller
Wilson
Niskanen
Carlson

Holtby

No schmidt???? Thought they say hes a core going fwd?

Too many good players to protect. They might pay Vegas not to take him, or Vegas likely picks him and ends up one of their top defenders. Either wayI like Schmidt's outlook moving fwd.

Vegas is gonna take grubauer

now that pickard.. MAF.. cam ward .. mzarak.. are available.. maybe they opt for schmidt?

[Bruyns]

If the deal doesn't include CDH then that's insane since Pelech is nowhere close to as good or valuable.

[Bruyns]

Also Mrazek over Ward pretty easily, but this isn't BBKL then can take more than 3 goalies then deal a couple.

[hong57]

ott also left bobby ryan...
and is jon merril really that bad? devils trade for mueller to protect him and left merill unprotected..

[hong57]

If the deal doesn't include CDH then that's insane since Pelech is nowhere close to as good or valuable.

ya that's what i thought..

[hong57]

and i mean... i don't think they can pick 6 decent dman.. and that MAF, mzarak, ward, pickard is available.. they may opt for schmidt.. i thnk

[hong57]

wow and jets protected armia over dano.. hmmmm

Stolarz protected. Guess Hextall's word can be taken at face value

Vegas can now sign Oshie, which would count as their claim from wsh.

[Bruyns]

That would be dumb though, if they want Oshie negotiate now and sign him July 1st.

Wonder how many goalies Vegas takes, I could make an argument for 6 and then trrade some to teams looking for a good backup since they are likely worth more than the other player they could take.

Fleury
Neuvirth
Raanta
Grubauer
Mrazek
Pickard

All 6 are good possibilities. There was talk of them taking 7 early on in the process. Subban is another strong possibility.

[Bruyns]

Subban is probably a bust, BOS being dumb and protecting the wrong Miller makes me think Colin is the choice there.

[Bruyns]

Everyone probably knows this, but cap is officially 75M next year.

[Matthew]

Nice. I have a ton of room to take cap on.

Probably, but change of scenery and you never know. Especially with goalies. Going to be very interesting to see how this all plays out.

[timwebb1212]

I have no idea why they protected Pelech over CDH

[lightupdadarkness]

Cap Floor $55.4 million and the ceiling $75
