So if you can't get a Pickard or Korpisalo or whomever else is a backup to potential starter for one of the 2nd round picks in the 50's....maybe you stay patient.

That expansion draft is going to force someone to blink, if the urgency isn't there now for Tampa to trade Vasilevski or Bishop. It will eventually show up. If the protected lists are what the rumors are suggesting I don't see expansion teams

Yeah, I don't see Treliving playing that game. If it fails he looks like a terrible GM who has no clue. Many already want to blame him for this past lost season when I personally don't think it's justified. If he goes into next season though without making any major changes/upgrades to the goaltending he could committing career suicide.
