There hasn't been a peep regarding the Rangers othe than Klein's "farewell." They have some real NHL players exposed, and Grabner and Raanta definitely have trade value. I wonder if the front office has just been really quiet and worked out a deal?

So assuming some deals didn't fall apart, we have Anaheim, Columbus, NY Islanders and Tampa with trades. Plus at least two mystery teams.

I thought Brooks said the rangers do not have any deals worked out with Vegas, and it would seem that if anyone would know it would be him. But, Brooks is also a dumbass

I might've missed that. I suppose with Grabner/Raanta/Fast/Lindberg/Klein(?) it would have cost a fair amount (i.e. a 1st+) to protect them, and they'd rather keep that part of the roster together rather than start shifting pieces and lose a good player anyway.

Let's just hope the Knights don't pick Grabner and then send his cheap contract to Chicago for Kruger/TVR/picks.

Hopefully Enstrom's NMC makes him an unpalatable choice for Vegas as they won't be able to easily flip him. I'd much rather lose Dano than Enstrom even if Dano is a decent middle 6 forward

Agreed. Dano is easily replaceable. Enstrom is not. I wouldn't be surprised if Chevy throws a late round pick to GMGM to ensure that Enstrom doesn't get picked. Or maybe he tries to get a new defenseman from Vegas.

He's one of the two best goalies available, and has enough history with his three Stanley Cup rings to serve as the initial face of the franchise. They'd be dumb not to.

The nascent fanbase of an expansion franchise in a "foreign" sport will only have 2 (max 3) years to grow before a historic NFL team with a playoff-caliber roster rolls into town. Sure, tickets may sell regardless due to casino promos and curious tourists, but a pro team needs a core loyal fanbase for the long haul.
Then it'll be a failure from the get-go, the business plan is for every game to feel like an away game in [Your Town Here].

People who live here don't make enough money to support pro sports. Education metrics are very low, advanced job prospects are low because good jobs follow good schools. The largest two industries expected to continue growth are the service industry and nursing care.

No, because Vegas is better racially integrated and has been proactive in gentrifying it's downtown before the rot expanded.

Also a lot of wealthy and well to do people live in the metro a pro sports team considers "Detroit", they just moved away to suburbs and exurbs in a massive act of white flight. There are no cities an hour out of the Vegas valley for people to move to. You're basically three hours of driving away from anywhere.

It's an exaggeration but it's not wild. Costs of living are low and salaries match that appropriately. I realize there's some guys making six figures promoting nightclubs, but they're the exemption and not the rule.

But I think the team will do fine given what we've seen in Phoenix.

Theodore is a better get than either of them. That's a real nice return for taking Stoner.

Why do people think Theodore is better than Manson? Manson is really good statistically and they should honestly just select him unless they are getting a haul of picks back.
