Center is definitely the weakest position available in the draft. It is mostly 3rd and 4th line guys. A few teams have good centers unprotected but have other better players unprotected too like Eric Staal with the Wild but they also have Matt Dumba.

June 19, 20178 yr comment_269558 My guesstimate of a realistic / favourable Golden Knights roster. Eaves from ANA because I think there's a deal to not take Vatanen or Manson. I believe there's picks coming to VGK to take Lethonen (DAL) and Kruger (CHI). I believe Minny has a deal done to keep Dumba This would likely be a mid-range cap team in 2017/18, but the players under contract goes from 19 this season to 10 in 18/19 - I think that would be favourable. They'd have solid pieces that could be moved now - Raanta or Grubauer and a defenseman. They'd have solid pieces that may be attractive come trade deadline - Plekanec, Lethonen, Boedker. In addition to the picks they already own, + acquired picks for above-mentioned & well-rumoured deals, they set up remarkably well for the next 3-5 years. Other than the Jets 'cuz I love them, VGK is the team I most look forward to watching the next few years.
June 19, 20178 yr comment_269559 ^^^I agree, I dont know why, but Im a Vegas Golden Knights fan. Maybe the same reason I was a Sharks fan when they debuted. Its nice to root for the new guys (and I love Vegas).

Sports is all about the regional relatability...

Sports is all about the regional relatability... I agree. I think it helps (for me anyway and others here) that Vegas seems to be a regular destination for many Manitobans so there is a sense of wanting to see Vegas succeed anyway. Plus, it will be interesting to see ticket prices because I can see people going down there for games. I know a few people that have said the moment Jets/Vegas is announced, they'd want to go. If the prices are right and availability too, Im going. I remember when the Jets played Coyotes in year one, I was one of a group strongly considering getting a box in PHX for the game as it was pretty cheap. Didnt make the plunge though. Vegas for 3-4 days to see a Jets game? Sure, why not.

There's some good ship available, no deals.

June 19, 20178 yr comment_269621 Word is Pens fired their goaltending coach. Jets probably gave their's a raise.

June 19, 20178 yr comment_269637 Im surprised they wouldnt give him one more to hit the magical number. Also, according to Doan, he wont play anywhere but Arizona (yeah right). Would rather retire than play in Winnipeg. So quite honestly, who cares.
