With Tampa I picked Foote, might as well leave them in cap hell. Expect Tampa will be paying heavily in this expansion draft.

It's a big debate. Do you use up a pick on a UFA because you have exclusive negotiating rights and could actually get the player? Or do you pick someone else and gamble that you might be able to sign them in free agency? I do expect the actual number of UFAs that are signed and used as a selection to be pretty low: one MAYBE two picks are signed UFAs. IIRC the only picked UFA that was actually signed by Vegas was Derek Engelland.
And yes, screw Tampa. Let them get out of their cap hell by themselves
