Wishful thinking, tqueen. Nichushkin will probably stay in Russia for another season, while Radulov wants to re-sign with Montreal. You also may not even need Bishop if Vegas picks the right goalies; lots of good ones will be available. The Oshie signing is definitely realistic though.

After doing many mock expansion drafts, Vegas usually ends up with good wingers, but I'm not a fan of yours. There are better guys to slot into the bottom 6, and if Nichushkin and Radulov don't sign, you'll need two new wingers for Namestnikov. Your center depth is very solid even though Hayes will probably be protected. I'm also skeptical of the defense, as one of Brodin or Dumba will be available, and either is a better choice than Scandella. Daley is a poor choice because of his age, and Demers will probably be protected.

Overall, though, I find this team neither realistic nor competitive. Sorry.

I haven't done a mock draft yet where they get good wings. I've done a lot and every time, I have a good defense unless I actively try to not have one.

If you think Hayes isn't being protected you are nuts.

You didn't take anyone from the Bruins lol

Vegas is not getting Silfverberg, as it stands right now the Ducks would protect 7-3-1. Getzlaf-Perry-Kesler-Rakell-Silfverberg-Cogliano-Vermette, Lindholm-Fowler-Manson,Gibson. Bieksa would waive NMC or be bought out, and assuming no trades Vatanen would be picked, but most likely Vatanen will be traded.
