fletch Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Could move Colorado to the Pacific, and Calgary + Edmonton to Central. Colorado, Calgary, and Edmonton log a lot of miles, so maybe something can be done to reduce their travel. https://www.ontheforecheck.com/2017/6/27/15881964/nhl-travel-miles-the-2017-18-super-schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Heaven Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Rangers better start planning their contracts for the expansion draft. Hopefully they wont be screwed with losing one of these young guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 They control their own destiny. Completely. They have exactly two players under contract right now for the draft (Zibanejad, Skjei). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 They control their own destiny. Completely. They have exactly two players under contract right now for the draft (Zibanejad, Skjei). But Shattenkirk, Staal, Smith and Lundqvist are tying up 4 spots, do to NMC, M-NMC. Obviously its early to speculate but they should be aware of the expansion draft after next season.

Phil Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Vegas being exempt from this draft is crazy. They can play major spoiler to the incoming Seattle club bound for their own division by playing trading partner for players other clubs don't want to risk exposing (and losing for nothing). And they can probably even low-ball those teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they can probably even low-ball those teams. Great take. The league could have just allowed Vegas to protect 1-2 extra players, regardless of position. Ranger mgmt should be taking advantage of any opportunity that might arise due to an overload on other teams. It is the NMCs that create more issues than one might expect.

Giacomin Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 For instance, we may have no goalie to protect. We could even hide a vet for some team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 They'll have a goalie to protect. Hank probably signs a short extension. And if they don't they'll simply sign one to do so (Georgiev).

ThirtyONE Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 This is great. Seattle is the perfect location (finally) for an expansion. Cool city. Good fan base. They'd be smart to have the same colors as the seahawks and go with a simple name. "Sounders" "Mariners" "Seahawks" are all very simple, yet strong. Keep it in that same vein. Kracken is kinda whack in my opinion. I like Sockeyes best out of the names that have bene tossed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kracken is kinda whack in my opinion. I like Sockeyes best out of the names that have bene tossed out. I'm partial to "Yetis" or "Squatches" or something goofy. Anything is better than Blue Jackets. Quote from SI article below https://www.si.com/nhl/2018/12/04/seattle-team-name-totems-metropolitans-evergreens-sockeyes-rainiers "The ownership group registered trademarks for 13 potential names last winter, in alphabetical order: Seattle Cougars, Seattle Eagles, Seattle Emeralds, Seattle Evergreens, Seattle Firebirds, Seattle Kraken, Seattle Rainiers, Seattle Renegades, Seattle Sea Lions, Seattle Seals, Seattle Sockeyes, Seattle Totems and Seattle Whales. It’s possible that the final name isn’t on that list, of course. In a poll conducted this fall, Seattle Times readers favored Sockeyes and Totems, with Metropolitans and Steelheads—two names not trademarked by the franchise—close behind. Metropolitans, the name of the Seattle team that became the first American club to win the Stanley Cup in 1917, seems unlikely, though, because the NHL already has a Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference." Hard to beat Kraken, Renegades, or Steelheads imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Those are horrible names, and, for me, most represent other cities or other established teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of sock puppets. Steelheads is an ECHL team in Idaho. Still upset they didn’t go with “Las Vegas Clubs”. Naming ain’t my thing. They’ll go with Sea Greens or something weird, unless a weed dispensary already has that name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
