Actually the expansion draft MIGHT be a wild ride kind of thing for many teams.

Vegas is holding all the cards, well, some anyway....never before has an expansion team been in such a position. Usually, they are dog meat and destined for 10 years in the basement with every body's left overs, but this draft is a bit different.

Vegas can take Reaves and have a deal in place that immediately sends him to ...say...the Blackhawks with draft picks or players for a decent forward. Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants? Who the fork knows. Impossible to predict what Vegas wants or needs.

If I were Vegas I would fill my roster but wheel and deal as many draft picks as possible in the process. That's how they'll get real good as fast as possible, imo.

Dumping a player like Lehtera on them is a great idea but hardly gonna happen without Vegas getting some draft picks. I would not give up our #1 or a second to dump Lehtera, hope DA doesn't either.
