Question 7: Realistically speaking, who do you think is most likely going to Vegas?

Jonathan Boulanger

Troy Brouwer. He is the type of player Vegas is going to be filled with and he is an experienced leader which is attractive to a brand new team.

Alex Hoegler

As I said, Brouwer. He’ll be the best player Calgary exposes and he can still be a 20-plus goal scorer for Vegas. The Golden Knights should look at quality in the expansion draft, not a guy’s contract.

Dan Raicevich

Hmm…I do not really know. Maybe Lance Bouma? Maybe Hunter Shinkaruk? We will see come mid-June.

Ramina Shlah

I think it’ll be Lance Bouma. He only has one-year left on his contract which is much better than Brouwer’s. Bouma’s a tough guy, even though he isn’t the biggest, and it makes him a solid bottom-six guy. But like Dan said, we won’t quite know until another couple weeks.
