Atlanta Braves Thread (I HURT MYSELF TODAY TO SEE IF I STILL FEEL)

Found the details for this expansion:

Teams will have a choice between protecting seven forwards, three defencemen and one goaltender (11 players) or eight skaters and one goaltender (nine players). The second option allows for teams to protect four defencemen but forces them to expose three more forwards in order to do so.

So more or less it's going to come down to whether each team values their 5th best forward more than their 4th best defenseman.

I can't remember the details but apparently they want to really kickstart Vegas this time, so they've just about guaranteed that everybody's going to have to lose somebody painful. Sucks.

Yep. Agree.

Prince with the assist to Josi

Not confident in either this season.

Me either, but for different reasons: Saros- youth Rinne- sloppy play.

Not exactly broken up about losing. I really have zero interest in the Caps winning the president's trophy again.

It doesn't matter where they finish, we all know the outcome.

Caps are a really good team. First time
I've watched them in quite a while. Not their night and I can see what you mean about the back up. They'll make a run. Local broadcast mentioned that they've scored first in 21 of last 25. That's stupid good.

Why is that? Vancouver isn't that far. Not saying it's not a good market just curious why it's a big deal. Vegas is a new market. Not that I think it's a good idea.

I think with the NBA leaving it would have been a perfect time to capitalize on that market
