VGK/MIN

[hong57]

Should be VGA or VEG or LV? coz MIN and TOR and OTT and MON and all others are only their cities' name.. not including their team sports name

[Shoalzie]

I'm using VEG on the draft sheets. I guess we'll see what the league and Fantrax will use.

NHL.com website code is using LVS

Definitely sounds ugly LOL!

[Loki]

All the acronyms are kind of bad. I'd probably go with VGS

[hong57]

maybe it doesn't really matter as it will relocate to quebec city in 1 years time

[Shoalzie]

LV is probably the best one but they just go by Vegas.

VGK is at least like CBJ...just an odd combo of letters.

I probably would have just taken Grubauer. That said, why would we put a limit on how many goalies he can take when we are following NHL rules and there is a built in goalie limit?

The NHL can call goalies up from their minors. And we can't. He could take 10 goalies and we would have a serious issue with goalie gp.

He wouldn't be able to take 10 goalies via NHL rules anyway. That and the majority of the goalies he would be taking would likely be waiver eligible anyway. Regardless, this is something that should have been announced well before you know a few weeks before the expansion draft. Inherently puts members of the CC at an advantage with how slowly information has come out.

Easy on the sour grapes there man. Our CC and league admin have been great - no need to suggest them slighting the rest of the league. It's a new process and people have lives. If you have a question ask it but don't go putting them down.

Think this is really good for hong but Tim gets some assets for free

[Shoalzie]

There will be a limit on goalies Tim can take. He's going to end up with a few really good options.

Our rules are stricter then NHL rules for goalies since it is a much bigger problem in this league. In the NHL they lose their backup they call up the next guy in line, whereas here it is a known fact the goalie market has inflated values (I paid 2 2nds for Hutton recently, backups go for 1sts at times.) We don't want Tim selecting all the valuable goalies he can and holding them hostage and teams being forced to pay inflated prices, Hong wasn't privy to CC discussions and no other trades have been made so there has been no advantage to any CC members.

Announcement will come for position limits hopefully today just need final vote, but expect a max of only 3 or 4 goalies for Vegas.

Any idea when this will be announced and finalize?

Hey mods, does FT have a Vegas spot yet? Wondering if I can be added and then make this deal there

I'm in 2 BBKLs for 2017-18???

[Bruyns]

Ya I don't know what happened there, I see 2 as well. Once one gets the premium membership applied we can get rid of the other, don't want to risk deleting one right now.

i thought Columbus has to go by CBJ because Colorado already used COL?
ya.. should be LV or something like that.. or is it because the NHL register with Vegas because Louis Vuitton will sue the fuck out of Bettman if they use LV
