Thread: James Falk-Vegas Predictions Part 2
Cammalleri wont be taken at that salary, they'll be no trade deadline value for him either so not sure of your logic there. Beau Bennett is a younger, cheaper version. Vegas wont need to hit the floor either with Free Agency signings to come.

Vegas taking Charles Hudon would be grounds alone for Bergevin to be fired! He's there only good top forward prospect in the minors but i can see it happening as the Habs value guys like Andrew Shaw instead which is crazy but it's the idiot Canadiens management. Benn, Beaulieu, De La Rose are the other options but if Charles Hudon is exposed i would expect him to be taken in expansion. Huge mistake by Montreal! Im a Habs fan and I sadly can see it happening. This team is schadenfreude to the maximum!

Cam Ward could go if Carolina sweetens the pot somehow with a draft pick as they have many options on forward and defense to grab. Nordstrom is a big bruiser that could help fill out their bottom 6 as he's young.

Murray we've discussed wont happen but if you want to be generic, it's fine. It will be a forward most likely like Carl Hagelin as Fleury almost assuredly will be traded to Calgary or Winnipeg and the Pens need to protect their young cheap dmen to make future runs. Hagelin is overpaid but still useful for Vegas especially to trade at deadline. Speed on the wings is huge in this league.

Scissons or Jankrok. Very tough decision for Nashville there. At first glance you say they protect Scissons for sure but that Jankrok contract is awesome when you can lock a young shutdown centre in for 4 yrs at 2 million per year, he shut the door on Getzlaf when Johansen went down. Interesting to see what Nashville does as they certainly will be protect 4 Dmen much like Anaheim

Thread: James Falk-Vegas Roster Predictions
So a few of my guesses after looking at your roster,
Murray/Fleury won't end up in Vegas. The Pens will find some way to get return for losing one of them.
I think FLA will protect Demers and expose Pysyk/Petro
LA will find a way to protect Mcnabb and do their best to have LGK take Brown/Gab
COL will protect Andrighetto
ARI will expose Doan and protect Pulk
LGK doesn't select DSP because he has zero value
TB might expose Killorn because they dont want to lose Namestnikov
LGK won't go Yak (even with the russian ties) Yak is out of the league next yr
NYR protects Hayes leaving players like Grab,Lin,Fast,Raanta, might swing a trade to LGK to shed salary and protect said players
ANA protects Silf by buying out or getting Bieksa to waive, also trading a Dman, ANA is very high on Silf

I'm guessing LGK will be very active in stocking their youth and taking bad contracts for future. They will also be selecting some players for the sole reason of trading them immediately. These are all guesses but aren't we all just guessing?
