Likely cost for WPG to protect Enstrom is moving some slots within first round of Friday's draft, and additional draft pick. Details tonite.

#nhljets send No. 13 overall pick and 2019 3rd round pick to #Vegas for No. 24 overall pick, previously acquired from #CBJ.

[devo22]

so probably down from 13 to 15, yes? That'd be the Isles pick.

[Flames Draft Watcher]

I wonder if VGK would even have taken Enstrom. VGK may have gotten something for nothing in this case

I've never been a fan of Enstrom, especially with a $5.75M cap hit. Woof.

Oh, Tobias. You blow hard.

I wonder if this was part of the deal when he waived his NMC. Jets promised to protect him via a side deal in exchange for him waiving his NMC so they could protect 3 more forwards.

I suspect WPG will be flip flopping first-rounders Friday with VGK, but which pick: 15th from NYI or 24th from CBJ? Stay tuned. *speculation

now
So as I understand the Wpg scenario. Flip picks with the CBJ pick - 13 for 24 - and a 3rd in 19

[bigrangy]

Jets fans are going to riot

[sureLoss]

so Vegas now has 6th OA, 13th OA, and 15th OA

and there are rumblings they move up to 2nd OA

[FurnaceFace]

I don't know why they'd be so high on Enstrom. Guy is the very definition of a bandaid boy. I would think they'd have been ok to lose him and use the salary to sign a more durable free agent or expect his contract would hold Vegas off from picking him.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Strange deal. Wouldn't be happy with that as a Jets fan.

[Flames Draft Watcher]

Well it may have been as much to protect Perrault, Dano, Armia as well

[Philly06Cup]

Agree with above. Vegas crazy to take Thorburn over literally anyone else.
