Matthews shoutout. Ham girl.

i am oddly irritated at the UNEVEN number of teams we have now. Who thinks this is a good idea?!

:lol :lol same.

Now there's really no chance to flip any Eastern team to the west to even it out.

 

[ElephantShell]

How does expansion work in the AHL? How will Vegas fill a roster down there?

 

[imBask]

I promise to translate every salt factory article I can find in the next couple of days, for you guys

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Cmon Announce the name

 

[Zombie James]

His hard-on for the Coyotes is never going away, is it?

Edit: didn't see AHL. Will probably join with an existing club and expand later.



Hoping for Reno!

 

[CosmicQueso]

For hockey, it's clear. Arizona > Quebec.

 

[Yawnier]

omg keep our prospects out of this

For most of my childhood the league had 21 teams. I don't recall it being much of an issue.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I don't think TVASports won't be happy with the Quebec City being shoved to the corner.

 

[DopeyFish]

strongest ownership group? LOL

 

[Smiley90]

.. wait, it would be called "Black Knights" based on the company, "Black Knight Financial Services"? that's bullshit

ALSO ALL THIS CONFERENCE IMBALANCE TALK IS DUMB AFTER THEY JUST SHUFFLED TEAMS AROUND LOL. full of shit

For most of my childhood the league had 21 teams. I don't recall it being much of an issue.

you mean 6 teams, right? And that's an even number too!

 

[Fata1moose]

If the Avs lose one decent player to this sleazeball city then I'm going to write a salty article in French and I don't even speak French.

For most of my childhood the league had 21 teams. I don't recall it being much of an issue.

Damn, what was Jesus like?

 

[Red_Man]

"please clap"

 

[Quick]

Awkward clap. God damn it.

 

[DopeyFish]

[Smiley90]

"our great sports town"

Vegas.

Great Sports Town.

Sure, if you count golf

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Damn that arena looks beautiful.

 

[ElephantShell]

No name yet, bullshit.

 

[Smiley90]

shiny hockey? you mean... shinny?

edit: no name yet, laaame

 

[Quick]

SHINY HOCKEY.

COME ON SON.

Someone must've typed it wrong on his speech.

 

[Fata1moose]

Expansion:

 

[Quick]

Damn that arena looks beautiful.

It really is, same with the Sprint Center. Surprised that Kansas City fell out of any expansion interest after their arena was done.

 

[MetatronM]

So who's our first Vegas lifelong?

 

[Line_HTX]

Well, that was fast.

Las Vegas NHL team, huh... First time I would seriously watch that, and NO, the stupid Arena Football League does not count!

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Poor Pierre

 

[Quick]

So who's our first Vegas lifelong?

NHL-GAF expansion draft incoming.

 

[Line_HTX]

NHL-GAF expansion draft incoming.

How do we recruit people outside this thread?

 

[Red_Man]

So who's our first Vegas lifelong?

If Subban is traded, I'm all over that Vegas team.

 

[Khaliss]

Welcome to the NHL Last Vegas "Ratpack", "High Rollers", Coked Strippers" or "Vegassers"....

And Quebec lol oh wow.

Oh well the Ramparts have a new arena!

 

[Fata1moose]

Lottery:

 

[calder]

Smelly is so ANGRY TODAY. :\ Did the Smellies get rocked at the Euros or something?

you mean 6 teams, right? And that's an even number too!

Ok, that wasn't bad. *tips cap*

 

[Line_HTX]

Clydefrog can be the first Vegas lifelong.

Kappa

 

[CreeperBlocks]

So who's our first Vegas lifelong?

Davey Desharnais

 

[Quick]

Like Calder said, Quebecor's gonna hang on like good soldiers waiting for a relocation or expansion opportunity.

If the Hurricanes end up relocating, Quebec's next in line if the league's going to continue the bullshit about balancing conferences or something.

LOL NHL Network stream cut off the French speech.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

I look forward to the AHL expansion in Reno for 18-19

 

[Smiley90]

Expansion:

7 forwards&3 defensemen or EIGHT skaters?

that's so weird, so either you get to protect 7 forwards and 3 defensemen... or 8 forwards, essentially, as that's the only scenario where that's beneficial? am I misreading?

 

[Line_HTX]

I haven't been following outside of this thread, but if I have this right, it was between Vegas and Quebec City?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I haven't been following outside of this thread, but if I have this right, it was between Vegas and Quebec City?

Yes

 

[calder]

I just really hope Toby Enstrom enjoys playing out his last year in Vegas. I bet the dry heat will be invigorating!

Spoiler

He's got a NMC but, honestly, NMCs are the Jets secret weapon

 

[CosmicQueso]

I haven't been following outside of this thread, but if I have this right, it was between Vegas and Quebec City?

Only one provided the opportunity for an NHL team to have success.

 

[Quick]

I haven't been following outside of this thread, but if I have this right, it was between Vegas and Quebec City?

Basically yeah. There were maybe a few others, but not enough to be seriously considered or be brought further into the process.

 

[Yawnier]

So who's our first Vegas lifelong?

The rules for the NHL-gaf expansion draft were already proposed by Cake Boss:

Can the expansion get all the anime weirdos? They also get 1 cat poster.

 

[Coldnoodle]

So many future buyouts.

 

[Zombie James]

Lineups and signings this year are going to be a mess with teams shuffling everything around for the draft protection requirements.

 

[Quick]

SWERVE on gambling question.
