3+5 most likely. 4+4 and they'd still protect Nelson.

No schmidt???? Thought they say hes a core going fwd?

Too many good players to protect. They might pay Vegas not to take him, or Vegas likely picks him and ends up one of their top defenders. Either wayI like Schmidt's outlook moving fwd.

Smith moved for Johnson, who they have to protect. But isn't the goalie they want for 17-18, which will likely be Mason. This was a cap clear

Do they need to protect jphnson

Thought he was ufa

Johnson had to be protected. Upcoming ufa, they only had 1 goalie to fit exposure requirements. Had to leave Domingue exposed to be legal

Elliott Friedman is reporting that there is a deal in place with Vegas not to select the forwards. Snow is sending a first round pick back.

ya i mean.. their protected dman doesn't include CDH and hickey.. and LV are not picking forwards.. so one of the 2 dman there will be picked..
