OFFICIAL GOLDEN KNIGHTS EXPANSION DRAFT

[Daddy]

selects #17 from The Sharks
C William Karlsson, $0.8m (2016-2018) 

Again the Sharks exposure/protection list was invalid even more so than the Wild. However I narrowed it down to guys who should be exposed and based off of Brian's former list and lingo.

Your great dude! Love having you in FNHL Indiansnation 

[Daddy]

  selects #18 from N.Y. Islanders
RW Michael Grabner, $0.5m (2016-2018) 

Johnny b good...Johnny was good in exposing one of our more tastier selections. A 100+ point scorer in our league in his prime at 29 yrs old.  We need a few proven vets up front.

[Daddy]

selects #19 from The Capitals
C Michael Sgarbossa, $0.2m (2016-2018)

Yeah there were a few vets to choose from but they were nothing to sneeze at. Not to mention I think this guy has legit upside and could possibly blossom in 2-3 years. If I'm wrong, what's it really costing me?

[Daddy]

selects #20 from Arizona
D Cody Franson, $5.5m (2015-2019)

Your welcome Yotes...my God this may be the worst contract in the league. Good thing I can afford it. This process is a numbers game and I had to select this player for multiple reasons, which only helps Arizona.

Cheers

Arizona is going to have to ship a box of Cuban cigars to VGK brass. 

[Daddy]

selects #21 from The Hurricanes
D Nate Prosser, $0.2m (2016-2018)


After the Cody Franson signing this sac of looks like  to me by comparison. It's a numbers game.
Will Prosser hold on to an NHL job though?

[Daddy]

selects #22 from The Winnipeg Jets
D Nikita Nesterov, $1.1m (2016-2018)

We like him, decent price, not a bad pick up with 3 picks left in the expansion draft. At least that's what Vegas thinks.

[Daddy]

selects #23 from The Canucks
LW Rene Bourque, $2.3m (2016-2019)

Horrible contract, but in the end we needed to add both salary and a vet forward.

[Daddy]

selects #24 from The Blue Jackets
RW John Mitchell, $0.2m (2016-2018)


Not a healthy pick up here, we know.

[Daddy]

selects #25 from The Maple Leafs
D Jyrki Jokipakka, $1.1m (2016-2018)
