FNHL :LV: Vegas can post their draft picks from now until July 7th. :judge:

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects from Avs with #1 pick
Thomas Greiss, $4.9m (2015-2018)


Turns out a brilliant trade by the penguins, Griess was on our radar all along with his affordable contract and coming off a strong season. We would have taken him from Pittsburgh who end up getting a return. Of course, we will now get a player from the Pens, but still...good trade.

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects #2 from Oilers
D Luca Sbisa, $1.5m (2014-2017) EXTENDED & EXPOSED

Jonathan threw us a bone and we thank him graciously.
This was the easiest pick that's why he goes #2.

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects #3 from the Blues (sorry rip)
G Mike Smith, $5.4m (2016-2019)

A no brainer after he was traded to Calgary and also the sweet Goalie contract.

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects #4 from Senators
D Joe Morrow, $1.5m (2015-2018)


Not every pick is one to be excited about. Ottawa did a good job stashing assets or having untouchable ones.

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects #5 from Dallas
RW Teemu Pulkkinen, $0.2m (2016-2018)


Not a glamour pick but I like this guys skill set and love his price tag. He may see more ice time with the NHL :LV:

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects #6 from the LA Kings
D Alex Goligoski, $5.5m (2014-2018)

Ugly contract but it expires after next season and it at least helps us reach our $44m target goal. I'm not looking for expensive guys, but there will be a few taken out of necessity.

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects #7 from Boston
D Mike Green, $5.7m (2015-2019)

Same note as #6 pick Goli...contract is  :puke: but this is necessary evil.

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects #8 from Flyers
D Slater Koekkoek, $0.9m (2016-2018)

Green flag and all, I think this kid has upside and I'm willing to take a chance on the 23yr old former #10 overall pick.
