<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Snobalt</b></div><div>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.</div></div>

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.

Not so sure about that. If they leave Brouwer exposed, maybe. But Brouwer seems like a Brian Burke kind of player so that likely won't happen.</div></div>

lol you can be sure about it. Ferland is also a Brian Burke type player (he's not our GM though) put up 2 more goals than Brouwer, same amount of points as Brouwer, is 7 years younger than Brouwer, and will likely cost a 3rd against the cap as what Brouwer does. He also hits like a freight train and can fight.

They might swing a a side deal to protect Brouwer somehow, but you can bet Ferland is getting protected.</div></div>

All depends on what they do with Lazar. I mean, they just gave up a second rounder for him, so that's a pretty good hint they'll protect him. Crowd source list has Monahan, 2 of the 3 Ms (Tkachuk is exempt), Gaudreau, Brouwer, Lazar and Bennett.
