Hearing #tblightning has a side deal in place with Vegas to protect its young 'D."
Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun
Lightning GM Steve Yzerman, via text, would not confirm one way or another whether there's been any deal with Vegas. No comment.

George McPhee: "We're going to have to move some defencemen because we're going to claim a bunch."
Welp, goodbye Schmidt....fuck.........
Vegas Golden Knights @GoldenKnights
Among the changes to our schedule, our jerseys will now be released at 7:00 PM....tonight!
Chris Johnston @reporterchris
George McPhee says he has "at least" six trades completed.
Gotta build up that hype for tomorrow
Renaud Lavoie @renlavoietva
He confirmed that some of the picks that are going to be announced are going to be traded the next day.
The new Adidas Perds jersey got leaked. Here's a side-by-side with new and old:

There is also considerable speculation MIN has or will have deal with VGK to lay off Scandella/Dumba in exchange for a prospect.
If they had the same collar as the old ones I might not hate those.
But they don't, so I do.
That new one sucks. How long is their contract for the new jerseies? Hopefully its short cause if they are all going to be like that ain't gonna buy that shit.
I don't really hate the design. It's incredibly simple and clean... meaning there's lots of space to cover it in ads >_>
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
As I mentioned on @OverDrive1050, my sense is there may have been at least 8 deals done with VGK prior to teams submitting lists on Saturday. We in media have all been speculating those teams likely to incl ANA, CBJ, CHI, NYI, PIT, TB but now belief is MIN and FLA may be added.
8 before lists? That would be crazy, in addition to whatever has come since the lists came out
Maybe it's due to the internet and easier access to information, but if I didn't know any better, I'd say Vegas has gotten the best expansion deal of any team in the last 30 years.
wrong thread
Protection lists werent as difficult back then. 93 expansion was 9F 5D 1G
