This is crazy and if it's true, it's yet another let down for us, because these moves where teams traded good players to avoid losing them for nothing ain't gonna happen: https://mobile.twitter.com/PierreVLeBrun/status/876060735641669633?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fhfboards.hockeysfuture.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D2357009%26page%3D7

Lots of teams waiting for lists to be announced Sunday so they can then call Vegas and work out trades for unprotected guys from other team

which is to say, GM GM is going to need an army of staff answering phone lines for him Sunday. ``Please hold.'' ``Please hold.'' ...

Sounds like Mike Smith to Calgary is in the works.
Guess they whiffed on MAF?  Or maybe MAF wouldn't waive for Calgary?

Scandella and Dumba are still with MIN as far as I know.

Well yeah, but they aren't protected.  Sending Vegas a package to select and trade one of the two is what I am getting at.

What do you guys think the odds of Vegas taking MAF are?  I don't think it's a foregone conclusion as many pundits seem to.  Then again, I have no clue why CGY traded for league-average goalie, 35 year old Mike Smith...

My guess is just a bridge until Gillies is ready, but who knows.  I do believe Vegas is going to grab Fleury.  I just don't see the reasons not to -- it gives you a bonafide starter, not to mention one with a lot of playoff experience.  Fleury's going to be good for at least another few years.  The only other option, if they wanted to go younger, was maybe grabbing Gudlevski from Tampa.  I just noticed he was available, and that would be a shame for them to lose him.

they would be crazy not to, he is by far the best goalie available and not that old, contract is no problem.

TBH, with how confident the organization is the Fleury will be leaving, it seems as though PIT and LV have discussed it, and LV intends to take him. I do not believe that Pittsburgh would having Fleury talking to the media about leaving the organization if they hadn't been in contact with LV about taking him.

Every time I read the HF Devils board, I'm reminded that, while the majority of fans 'get it', some really stupid people follow this team. emoji52.png
