FNHL EXPANSION: VEGAS BABY!

[Burkes Boys]

Daddy's definitely the type who's ready and up for the challenge. He has a plan with TB and I expect as much with Vegas.

[PsychoticPondGoons]

Who are we kidding, Daddy and Vegas will have a blast building a team from scratch.

OH BABY! Daddy will have himself a grand ol time

YES, Vegas needs to draft from each team. That's why he gets 2 wks before FA opens to wheel and deal.

It good for the league and other teams can benefit if Vegas and teams find the right deal to move players, picks, etc.

Was thinking the same but the Expansion draft rules seem to state Vegas must draft 1 player from each of the 30 teams giving them 32 players if they keep the 2 they traded for last Fall.

They get time to make trades after the draft which makes sense for them but 2 weeks to deal and clear roster spots for Free Agency will be a test Daddy's negotiation skills.

Ok question, why should the new team max out his roster? I would think they might want a shot at FA. I know LV will be cherry picking, but i think a roster of 25 is more reasonable.

... no FAs during the 2016-17 season ... can bid on FAs during the 2017 FA season.

Vegas management is all over this like stank on Fisher. 

When we are eligible to bid on FAs, we will do our due diligence similar to that team in Tampa. Until then you would be remarkably surprised at the research our scouts have already done.

The entire expansion draft may be over in 24 hours.

Confirmed that Vegas can acquire players through trade but cannot bid on Free Agents.

Spoke to PR about this gents.
Vegas is allowed to acquire players through trade but cannot bid on Free Agents.
Clear distinction.

However Vegas needs to remember they need to be ready for the Expansion Draft next August 2017.
