    Toby doing that when he has zero reason to do so (other then some odd desire to go to Vegas) is a major character move.

    Enstrom is worth more than Dano, and it's really not even close.  Another case of Winnipegitis, where we over or under value a player because they are in our market and we watch them so closely.

If Chevy was busting the phones, we would have heard it by now...

Mostly what's coming out so far are the trades pre-draft.  I haven't heard any reports yet about what moves Vegas is making after the draft, which is what we would be interested in.

And... Why do we need to make trades... We wanna upgrade our goaltending and there were reports jets talking to rangers about raanta but thats an after expansion draft thing. Also quite a few UFA goalies out there july 1st.

Jets are so tight lipped about things you had guys on the day of the draft last year thinking convinced puljujarvi was their pick or they were trading it. Heck even when they traded kane and bogo.. Nobody had a clue b4 hand. 

I thought it was just basically one person on this forum...

Sure. But if u watched the draft... They were saying the same stuff. Theres a difference between me saying they might vs Sportsnet insiders saying they might

Sportsnet insiders trying to keep everyone watching? They're selling the event.

So of the rumours making the rounds:

 

Cody Eakin selected by Vegas from Dallas

David Perron selected by Vegas from St Louis

Brendan Liepsec from Toronto

Mark Methot selected (and possibly flipped)

James Neal might be selected but Nashville were determined to convince Vegas otherwise.

Grabovki and a first rounder from the Islanders

As some of us suspected:

 

Makes sense. Enstrom would also be cheaper to protect over Myers, so getting Enstrom to waive was important. Hopefully, it's not costing much. Dano becoming the pick with and a third rounder?

If I had any confidence in our ability to sign good veteran players I'd be okay with it, but the prospect of entering the season with Morrissey - Chiarot - Stuart on the left side scares the living daylights out of me.

No Karl?

I like Alzner, mostly 'cuz I traded him to Wpg in NHL14 and it's paid off. :D

Seriously though, how much of an upgrade is he on Enstrom?  And if you're only D acquisition is the guy replacing Toby, that's trouble too.  D wasn't near good enough or deep enough.

This still feels odd to me at face value.  I can't be the only one seeing at least 3-5 better D than Toby who are unprotected and/or protected but rumoured to be traded to VGK, like Shea Theodore.

..almost makes you wonder, ahem, if Toby's value is a lot higher than many here think.
