The team's selections will be announced on June 21 during the NHL Awards ceremony at T-Mobile Arena.

The fact that KH still hasn’t done anything prior to the draft is much more damaging than Howard being protected..wich is a nonsense.
If Mrazek has in room problems then he should have been traded long ago, but KH cannot do anything to improve the team…anything. He is always hoping for some players to fell on his lap for free, like Hossa a few years ago.
Howard was good last season, but his last few games in that season where he look pretty bad was a reminder as to who he really is.
There is no common sense to protect a 33 years old with a bad contract and bad health…and overall bad career ! ...absolutely none.

I'm OK with protecting Howard. Cuz Los Vegas is highly unlikely to grab Mrzak.

That we really don't want you anymore but we might be stuck with you if LV don't draft you ?? Either way we are looser... ...still doesn't make any sense to protect Howard...but hey..this brass is going down the spiral with some amazing speed right now.. No trade..no move..no Nothing !...well done !!

I have the sinking feeling that we won't do anything all summer unfortunately other than our taking our draft picks. We will be starting the 2017/2018 season as is as our GM probably likes his team I would have exposed Abby and protected XO. LV is supposed to take Fleury as their # 1. If they do they won't pic Mrazek. I also would have protected Mrazek over Howard. I think Mrazek has more potential but he needs to become tougher mentally and man up to his own fuck ups vs staring down teammates who may have made a mistake

Vegas is much more likely to grab Mrazek than Howard and 2 years remaining on his contract. KH decided it's better to keep a 33 years old with a history of average goaltending and injuries.

and i think that LV will be a cup contendre sooner than we think. I believe that they can build a pretty good team with the other team's leftovers.

Tude or not there is no reason to protect Howard and not Mrazek. Now all the hockey world suspects an attitude problem and because of that Mrazek's lost half of his trade value. KH better comes up with something very soon to surprise us all, if not he is the worst GM in the history of hockey...after Ned Harkness !

Other than the fact that if Howard gets picked up we're left with a goalie with on and off stuff. And a tude ...
