Love that Sportsnet is doing this big reveal show and Lebrun and Mackenzie are just like "fuck you here are the picks"

I was thinking that too but Calgary already has no 2nd rounder this draft and no 4th too I think? So I sure as fuck hope we didn't give up a draft pick
Engelland has a house in Vegas for what it's worth and as a 5-6 dman was good enough this year. But still, he's 35 and there are a lot more options that made more sense
Edit: Calgary doesn't have a 2nd or a 3rd round pick this year to be specific

Foley said VGK had list of picks ready at 4 p.m. PT Tues. before realizing they had 13 forwards (need 14) so switched from a D to a forward

Not that @DarrenDreger needs confirming but Jets and Vegas did strike a deal so Enstrom isn't Vegas' pick.

Vegas and Shattenkirk had a couple conversations but no deal happening between the two sides this week.

Tomorrow will be another fun day. It sounds like there's a queue of trades ready to be completed when NHL roster freeze lifts at 9 a.m. ET.

Can confirm that Philipp Grubauer *was not* selected by the Vegas Golden Knights. Means it's likely that D Nate Schmidt is the pick.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Now I'm really wondering who their third goalie pick was. Maybe they went off the board with Malcom Subban or something.
Nynja/Rata

FYI regarding Vegas making Alexei Emelin its pick from Montreal, that's a clean transaction; Habs didn't have to entice VGK with a pick
Is this VGK team going to a mid tier team? I'm still unsure at this moment.
All this expansion stuff is taking away the spotlight from Hosso taking a year off. Dude is super underrated.
Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun
Hearing that smooth-skating D Nate Schmidt is Vegas-bound...
GOD DAMN IT I HATE EVERYTHING
Did it get announced who Vegas will be sharing a minor league team with?
I feel like that was announced a while ago but I can't think of who it was they were affiliated with off the top of me head.
