ya Vegas have plenty in the tank to offer up, will probably give up too much AND take Bobby Ryan
so like
Tatar, Glass/Suzuki, probably more players/prospects, and some picks
for
Karlsson & Ryan
don't think the Sens will come out too badly
but what will they do with ~$25MM in cap space?
the fact that the Avs own their 1st this year or next is still an issue, but idk what they can do about it really
just YOLO and hope they miraculously do better next season in this rebuild

i think Horvat is pretty overrated by most, but ya the Canucks will be trash next season, so he'll get all the ice time he can handle as the 1C and probably new captain. until something changes, he & Sutter will probably go up against the best lines of opponents. ya Pettersson will most likely be sheltered big time until he proves himself, should get a lot of PP time regardless, because who else is there.

7. Vancouver - Tkachuk
8. Chicago - Hayton
9. NYR - Bouchard
10. Edmonton - Wahlstrom
don't @ me
think Tkachuk will probably go higher than he should, in the 3-5 range
still have yet to really dig into the draft yet, but Wahlstrom sounds like he could be a nice pick in the 6-8 range
could be fun times for the not crap teams if guys like Boqvist, Velano, Farabee, Smith, etc fall out of the t10

NYR 2014-15 (102.4) 2015-16 (102.2) 2016-17 (102.0)
so teams with elite talent and/or goaltending? it is known
weird how sortingbyPDO so closely resembles the standings...
