Subban's not very good so I don't think he's anywhere near the top of Vegas' list.

So someone like a Subban and someone like a MAF. I don't think Boston is going to protect Subban, and he might be the best young goalie available unless they want to roll the dice and see what's coming out of the NCAA. There's a decent chance they end up with a Condon.

I spend about a month of every year in Vegas and I still haven't met a single person that gives a poo poo about this team. I mean I'm stoked as hell and will be there for the franchise opener but it really is strange.

you should have gone to the event where they threw a ducks jersey under a zamboni and signed a banner sponsored by t mobile to be presented to the creator

Paulocaust posted:Well I spend most of my time at poker tables so maybe the degenerate scum I mingle with aren't predisposed to being hockey fans Haha maybe. It's still a weird situation I guess. We have lots of transplants so I imagine when the more popular teams roll into town the arena will be packed. Otherwise we'll probably have middling attendance until the team is good. A quick search says Vegas has half the population the average NHL city has so who knows.

Grubauer seems like an almost certain pick. He's the right age for a building franchise, he has NHL experience and been very good in his backup role. 44 games of experience isn't a lot, but for a building franchise, he's in the sweet spot between the unproven goalies (Subban) and the age 30+ goalies. He'll likely end up in tandem with one of those veterans, but given the GM's familiarity with him, and the Caps ability to protect all of their other worthwhile assets, he's very likely to be picked. a false posted:i dont know who the rangers will expose. i dont have anything good to say about this at all but i posted in the wrong thread so now i am editing my post to have something to do with this thread. thanks for listening F: Pirri, Lindberg, Grabner, either Fast or Nash D: Holden, McIlrath G: Raanta

incredible bear posted:Vegas will have 30 players from the expansion draft alone, another 7 from the 2017 draft plus any UFAs they pick up, it really doesn't matter who they take from the likes of the Canucks and CBJ, I doubt very much they'll make the 23-man roster out of camp. I don't give a gently caress what the vegas team looks like after selecting from the nucks roster, but rather what the nucks roster looks like following it

So time's running out on "early November" which was the last estimate for a name for the Tentative Knights.

MAF has a NMC through the 2019 season. Unless he agrees to go to Las Vegas, he isn't going.

Boomer The Cannon posted:I'm excited for this team, they can't be any worse than Columbus. their first year team was led in scoring by Geoffrey Sanderson, Espen Knutsen, and Steve Heinze. I think Vegas will do better than that. I really hope. e: so Dustin Brown looks like the best Heinze equivalent, Rick Nash is definitely the Geoff Sanderson tier sniper, and Espen Knutsen has to be Tyler Bozak.

Maybe they're caught up in a negotiation to obtain the rights to the Golden Seals name and colour scheme.

The counterfeiters can actually produce product faster than we can. -The Creator Has the Creator considered that given a logo, a color scheme, a name, and 7 months of no official jerseys, counterfeits that look nice might be made up anyway? Christmas is a prime time for jerseys.

The only reason they won't have jerseys is that the jerseys have not been designed.

AsInHowe posted:The only reason they won't have jerseys is that the jerseys have not been designed. Yes, but I'm saying someone will probably make up ones that look decent to sell in the meantime, even if they're not the official design. Every team has a shitton of alternates nowadays anyhow. Logo, color scheme, and name is all a counterfeiter needs.

I for one am shocked to learn that most of an expansion teams revenue comes from jersey sales.
