That's still collusion, no?

So, basically give up a first to keep Pouliot?

I thought it was clear that league doesn't want trades involved in the draft. (?)

That is not my impression and there is no precedent for that...now maybe they change that, but given how generous they are being to this expansion team, I would be surprised...

On the contrary I believe they have mentioned it a few times. They have stated that they did not like the deals that were made in the previous expansions to not take certain players. They have also said that there would be stiff penalties if teams did it this time.

I don't believe that to be true, but like I said, I've been surprised before...

The NHL will give Vegas the go-ahead to start making transactions on March 1st. So, with no players, I'm not sure what they're going to be trading for unless we're talking about these deals.

Chris Johnston, who is really an underrated hockey insider, talks about it briefly here: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/john ... e-will-go/

There seems to be some conflicting info coming from the front offices still.

NHL's Vegas Golden Knights trademark request denied
A request to trademark the name and logo of the Vegas Golden Knights, the NHL's 31st franchise, has been denied by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, causing yet another hitch in what has already become a protracted initiation process for team owner Bill Foley.

In a 164-page letter, Foley's holding company, Black Knight Sports and Entertainment LL Etc., was informed of a possible trademark conflict based on the "likelihood of confusion" with the NCAA’s College of St. Rose Golden Knights.

It wasn't immediately clear exactly what the denial means for the Las Vegas franchise's branding plans.

Foley was given six months to respond to the letter, dated Dec. 7, and provide evidence as to why the refusal should be withdrawn.

This.

Give it a proper (read: good) name and logo.

The thing is, the two logos look absolutely nothing alike.

College of Saint Rose:

The Vegas logo looks nothing like this. How would the 2 be confused?

I am absolutely loving this. They don't even have a single player yet, and are already a massive laughing stock.

Why is every team called the Wildcats if this was actually a thing...this is pretty innocuous and nonsensical...just let them have their stupid name and logo and get on with it...

What is innocuous and nonsensical is trying to trademark a name and logo which could hardly be any more generic.

Bingo. I mean look at what it's "conflicting" with...some beer league horse**** team...who cares...just get on with it. Generic name, generic logo, just let it go...

It's not like they're the Las Vegas Ford F-150s...that's an infringement...this is much ado about nothing...

What I want to know is why it took 164 pages to explain why the patent was rejected.

Hopefully it was 164 pages explaining how stupid of a choice it is.

I was wondering that too...I guess people don't approve of expansion or the allegedly loose ethics of (Las) Vegas...
