Shibbal: Since Vegas has the same cap restrictions as any other team they have to wise on who they pick. For instance, the Leafs might expose veterans Bozak, Komarov who have only 1 year left on their contract. But I think the Vegans might take 600,000 Leivo who has more controllable years and maybe some upside. And if they sent him to the minors, it's not a cap hit.
Remember Vegas is selecting 30 players, they all better not be on high NHL salaries, especially when it looks they are in the mood to sign high priced UFAs like the Russians.
If not Carrier Vegas could take Cal O'Reilley, Kea and there are a few other minor leaguers. Please folks don't get confused by the games remaining scenario laid out in the Cap Friendly. Many long term AHLers are still eligible to be drafted.
