He's a hard working veteran that could be their first Captain. Remember they can't just get all cheap guys. They still need to make it to the salary cap floor and they also probably want to be half decent to draw interest in the community. Who better to have on their team than an Olympic American staple

I think he was exposed in the VGK
canadiancapman:
He was exposed but didn't have a contract until after the draft. I really don't know how that would work claiming an upcoming UFA. Does anyone know if Vegas selected any upcoming UFA's? Doesn't really make sense to me if you're going to be a UFA that upcoming summer and somehow have to sign with the expansion team if they claim you. Kinda goes against the collective bargaining agreement in my mind.

I wouldn't have thought you could select a UFA for a fledging draft, because at the time of the draft, they wouldn't actually belong to any team and therefore would not count aginst a team selection or salary hit.
The selection must be one player from every team, right? A UfA, at the time of the draft does not belong to ANY team and is therefore not eligible. Smart moves by the Caps in refards to Oshie. 8)

Yep, that was interesting how that worked with Oshie for the Vegas draft, and the NHL has said several times the rules for this draft will be exactly the same so technically it could work with OV as well.
Surreylily:
Hah! Who woulda thunk i was that smart?.
Don't answer thet. :raspberry:
