Buying out Bieksa still, as it stands, would require them to protect Lindholm, Fowler, Manson and Vatanen. They either lose Silfverberg going the eight skater route, or expose a good defensemen.

Probably more likely that they do finally trade Fowler, buyout Beiksa and protect Lindholm, Manson and Vatanen but it's not that outrageous for a mock team...

How much would Canucks fans love it if Vegas took Sbisa off their hands?

I think the whole Knights thing was a smokescreen and the name is going to be something totally unexpected.

And Fletcher has said he's likely going 7-3-1. So Suter, Spurgeon and only one of Brodin/Dumba/Scandella are protected. Brodin is not a sure bet to be protected, as it stands now. He's actually 4th on the team in ice-time, he's not the clear #2.

It looks like the logo got leaked on twitter. Already taken down. It's alright.

Why that could be a Golden or Silver Knight.

I like that logo.

I was hoping they wouldn't go with a predominantly black colour scheme though. Too close to Anaheim and LA.

I'm not sure Carolina wouldn't prefer to lose Ward and keep Lack, and spend Ward's cap somewhere else.

Defensemen: Davidson, Petrovic and Klein aren't big losses. Brodin and Orlov would hurt their teams quite a bit, and if I were Washington I wouldn't expose him. If the Canucks can get rid of Luca Sbisa, it will actually make them better, so they should hope LV is that dumb. Seems more likely they'll lose someone like Hansen.

Forwards: This is bad for a large number of teams. Flames get off really easy, as do the Blues, Sabres and Devils. Colorado, Detroit, and especially Anaheim get absolutely hosed. Losing Silfverberg would be a massive setback for them. They'd be better off just exposing Kesler.

That's a really cool logo. I'm a fan. I guess Silver Knights is out.

Love the logo, but does that background reflect the jersey color? That's way too dark

Hoping if there's black, it's balanced well. Gold is underrated!
