Quote "The Las Vegas expansion franchise will be given a head start when it comes to free agency. Sources told ESPN.com that as part of these fascinating expansion-draft rules we keep learning about, the Vegas organization will have a 48-hour window ahead of the expansion draft in June to speak with and sign any pending unrestricted or restricted free agents whom the 30 teams left unprotected for the expansion draft." http://www.espn.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/43125/rumblings-las-vegas-will-get-a-head-start-on-free-agency Quote "Chief content officer Steve Mayer mentioned that the NHL will look to televise both the awards and the announcement of the expansion roster of the Vegas Golden Knights around same timeframe in Las Vegas." "The draft is set up to where all 30 other NHL teams must submit their list of protected players by 5 p.m. eastern on June 17. Then Vegas will submit their expansion draft selections by 5 p.m. eastern on June 20. The picks will then be made public on June 21." http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nhl-to-televise-vegas-golden-knights-expansion-draft-040711970.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Who do we think ends up there? Bishop and Raanta are my votes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daffy Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Didn't think of Raanta but that would be a good choice. Bishop is a FA so I have a hard time seeing him sign in Vegas when he has so many other options. If Fluery gets moved before the expansion draft, I could see Howard end up in Vegas.

Fullright Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Darling is going to end up somewhere but he's unrestricted. Some of the thinking in the Organ-I-zation is that they signed Glass to leave him exposed with the idea of signing Darling but then they run into the cap.

TheGoalNet Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Why wouldn't you sign Bishop? I think he's the best available goalie I'd love Halak to rebound and land there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullright Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I don't think St. Louis is going to pursue BB. They've thrown in with Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
