fixed

That's pretty impressive since they're still second in the Metro

Saving grace is that so many other teams are just awful this year

well ... Shipaychov --> RUS ... damn

Welp - lucked out there.

Bad luck kimmer. At least the Euro I took at #2 is still in playing in the AHL

Dont regret taking the risk. Bad vegas management however that goes without saying. Very unprofessional on both parties however

God is fair however
That brad hunt...mmmm

Damn u pail

Ironically my best Waiver pickup so far has been Fantenberg who I took in the second round after like 4 other picks

lol so much goals scored tonight in the NHL (but not me)

and Karlsson is -6 tonight... lol

I screwed up with Hunt. Made good with Jan Ruuta though.

Yea, very similar to someone who gave me Connor Brickley, hmmm....

Vegas screwed up big time...Why would any 31 yr old player (not from North America) want to play in the AHL, when he could go home and play where he is comfortable and make as much money. I 100% would of done the same thing. We are way too hard on Russians, it takes a lot of balls to move half way around the world, with his family, and not being able to speak the language. That would be brutal enough, and then to get sent down only after a sip of coffee, would be a huge slap in the face.

Whole heartedly agree chris
You mustve listened to erics interview yesterday.
Yea it is a shame how mcphee used roster managenent as an excuse to constantly belittle Shipachyov + the fact that "suck it up" attitude does not and should not work/apply to a 31 yr old veteran in hockey (even if not nhl). Hype was bought into(vgks doing), contract of this magnitude was signed (vgks doing), and whole family having to adjust in usa is a bigger than hockey kinda thing, especially when certain things were promised (vgks doing, loosely albeit) for him to be face of the franchise. I mean both parties were unprofessional in their own ways but in the end if shipachyov was "nice about it" and did what he was told, there was no guarantee that they were gonna bring him up soon and in Ships mindset that wasnt something he could easily adhere to. He isnt a fucking 20 yr old prospect who has no say in roster management. Only thing that fucked up on svobodas part was overlooking the fact that ship has waiver exemption status and vgk found it a huge break of a loophole to treat him however they wanted to in the name of "roster management for a expansion franchise needing this"

All in all shame on u once again, typical american greedy entrepreneurism

So now I've given up Brickley + hunt for a total of 4th+5th+7th. Lol damn.

I just checked Rutta's stats. Not bad eh wow
I knew I wanted him real bad with one of the mid waiver picks... never got a chance at that 3rd waiver pick acquisition. Took Shipachyov and Aston-Reese. Sorta regret the reese pick over Rutta

I have had mild success with the few waiver picks i have made. Wish i had the time to put into understanding and studying prospects more. Big disadvantage in this league. My three waiver selections:

Danny Dekeyser
Drake Caggiula
Jan Ruutta

Paul, Hutton kinda been a bust for me...lol. I know he is a work in progress, i just had hoped for more too early i guess.

I actually even flipped dekeyser for something along the lines of jaybo dermott oleksiak
And flipped dermott ++ to get zaitsev
And flipped zaitsev ++ for eriksson ek sanheim tanev bratt lol #busywinnerslife

Something along the lines of

Hutton
Ikonen
Rakell
Hunter smith lol
2018 1st mtl
2019 1st car
2019 3rd car
2019 2nd ott
2019 4th car
2019 6th car

For

B.Sutter
Derek Ryan
Eriksson ek
Bratt
B.Tanev
Sanheim
Jaybo
Oleksiak

Give or take
** dekeyser eakin dermott zaitsev gauthier raddysh cancels out as part of flipped pieces

Rakell?
