Dangles13 373 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) I started doing this then I started to laugh when I realized how fucked some teams are, especially Columbus. The NHL landscape is going to change drastically I bet.

Yeah but with how many players Columbus has to protect they have to expose someone pretty good. They will be desperately trying to move players now and other GMs know that and can fuck them over. Teams that don't have players to protect because of ELCs are going to win some trades I think and hope.

DollarAndADream 3,356 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Lucic - Ribeiro - Atkinson R. Smith - Killorn - Vrbata Schenn - Lehtera - Yakupov Fast - Tlusty - Panik Wisniewski - Wideman Spurgeon - Hamonic Martin - Alzner Niemi Howard ?? I'll probably have another go at it some other time..

DollarAndADream 3,356 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 It's hard to pick who you think these teams will be protecting. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/31694-creating-the-las-vegas-expansion-team/#findComment-353146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendrick 4,741 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 The smartest way to think about it is building a team like the NHL Draft. Las Vegas is going to want fairly young guys, but with tons of upside and skill. If the team they are plucking a person off of doesn't have those two criteria they will go with a veteran leader that is most likely in the back half of his twenties/early thirties. Perron - E.Staal - Gionta Raffl - Filppula - Brouwer Calvert - Plekanec - Chiasson King - C. Wilson - Grabner Myers - A.Greene Edler - Brodin Dillon - J. Schultz Halak Howard I found it really tough to protect a lot of players that I didn't know enough about. For example, I didn't protect Brodin because Minnesota would protect Suter, Dumba and Spurgeon. Brodin would be a 4th, which would make sense but then you don't get to protect their forwards.

Dangles13 373 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Yeah I had a hard time, especially with so many players you know are moving on soon. Staal won't be in NYR and other things like that skew this a bit.

It was weird leaving Jagr, Elias, Marleau and Willie Mitchell unprotected.

Will Jagr, Elias and Marleau be protected just because?

Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Is there anyway to do this with the current NHL teams already protecting their players? Don't really want to go through all 30 teams... Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/31694-creating-the-las-vegas-expansion-team/#findComment-353189 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You better. Karl Alzner as a 6th defender? Are you high? He plays on a top line with Matt Niskanen first of all, so there is no chance we don't protect him. But even if we didn't, you think Wideman is a better player, worthy of first line defender minutes over him? Come on now. Also @flyersfan1493 that was my take as well. If it had a list of the players teams are most likely to protect it'd be more natural. But for a lot of teams there is going to be some interesting choices made.

Yeah, I'm a big caps fan as well, and I don't remember the 3 I picked but Alzner was the odd man out. I think I took Orlov instead..... and my D pairings aren't really in any order.
