I will miss Engelland if true. Still going to wait until there is an official word, as it sounds a bit like speculation more than an outright leak or rumor, but we will see. I wonder if there are any more moving pieces around this. I guess by tomorrow we will know.
If true, sad to see him go. I was fairly convinced that Treliving and Engelland had reached a deal a while ago, since Engelland is a good fit on the Flames and played the best hockey of his life here, and the organization wanted him back. Maybe negotiations fell-through long ago, who knows. Surprised that Vegas would pick him considering they have a strong shot at signing him in the off-season if they so desired. I am guessing this is either not a legit rumor, or Engelland is taking some convincing not to wait for free agency to see what other offers he gets on the table.
Tough SOB who played really well and had tremendous leadership skills apparently. Definitely see the attraction for Vegas here, just didn't expect them to use a selection on him.
