I have in my possession the single greatest gif ever made but it’s highly NSFW. Let’s just say I’ll never look at Spider-Man or his web the same way ever again.

We will indeed be using Baker's definition of a prospect (which I believe would not include Thompson). I have to find it. I know he ages out anybody over 23.

My guess: Tim Murray doesn't feel like working. If he wanted a job evaluating talent in the NHL he'd have one.

Liger nailed Cozens. I think @rakish has just about the voice I would've expected from @LGR4GM and vice versa.

I did not expect Liger's voice to sound like that. I expected to feel a little warmer inside. Instead, I can't stop thinking about excessive arm hair.

Not sure he failed us in the draft yet. Several of his picks are still working through the pipeline. Nylander, Asplund, Borgen and Olofsson all have legitimate NHL shots. Pu was a big part of getting Skinner here. Some of his other picks were also used in trades. And there's a few others still in the system that are NHL longshots but could pan out. Tim Murray's story is not done.

He was credited with several successful picks in Anaheim and Ottawa.

Hopefully a new design. The original design is pretty but we've seen it before and it's basically a boring stock template of hockey jerseys. Get creative. But also don't ***** it up. No pressure.

I can do a series of polls to get a consensus on our prospects. Maybe I'll do top 15. I don't think he was demoted under normal circumstances, though. I think they just wanted to get him playing in the AHL for a bit so he'd be ready for the playoffs.

As an expert on people named Dylan I can indeed tell you that everyone seems to know this reference and will call you "Die-lawn" at some point or another.

NEXT YOUR!? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!? I probably still would.

Is this the year Mogilny finally gets in? Who do you think is not in that should be? I think Zubov and Mogilny should be in of those he listed. I don't think Vinny is a Hall of Famer. Alfredsoon -- probably but he's fringe, in my opinion. Joseph is a no (yes, I think Ryan Miller is a better all-time goalie than CuJo).

I am in a position of acceptance with the information you have presented in this post on this forum about the hockey team that plays in the western part of the state of named New York inside the United States of America. I am appreciative of your contribution to this discussion. Good day, sir.

Murray was always that gym rat who was good at drafting. I'm hoping we'll be thanking him in a few years.

ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS YOU COWARD

Do you mean NEXT season as in the one that's after the one that just happened aka the season that's about to happen or NEXT season as in the one that's after the one that's after the one that just happened?

Unacceptable. Mods, ban him for eternity.

I actually am happy with where our prospect pool is at right now. And a guy like Mittelstadt is essentially still a prospect without qualifying for these lists. I think the top 14 guys named on the list above have NHL potential with the rest being longshots who could surprise. Obviously not all 14 will pan out. Probably not even half. But that’s a good group. Also, as much as he has struggled, I’ve always had some sort of weird confidence that Alex Nylander will become a good NHL forward. Whether or not that’s here remains to be seen.

Seeing players sign cheaper deals elsewhere is a unique thing that I’ll never understand because it simply does not happen here. Can we please build something meaningful?

I wonder if we can get Miller and Stastny without using Risto. I’m not sure Vegas would actually want Risto, either. It seems unlikely because we simply don’t have the pieces. I would’ve felt better about our chances if we still had the 31st pick to use and combine it with McCabe, a prospect and maybe a future pick. Maybe something like McCabe, Nylander, Samuelsson or Davidsson and a second or two for Stastny and Miller?

He should fire his agent.

I’ve seen Vegas fans sure this guy is going to be great but I don’t know much about him to be honest. I also don’t think Vegas has anything that fits the bill I’m looking for on Risto outside Smith and Marchessault (both are 28). They’re not EXACTLY long-term but they’re close.

Colin Miller (D) with two years at $3.88M has been rumored to be available. I would absolutely take him. Same for Paul Stastny (C) who has been rumored to be available and has two years left at $6.5M. I’m not interested in Max Pacioretty (W) who is available with three years left at $7M. Guys who they have that haven’t been rumored but I’d still have interest in: Reilly Smith (W) with three years left at $5M. Jonathan Marchessault (W) with three years left at $5M. Malcolm Subban who is an RFA goalie and would require us to move one of ours in Ullmark or Hutton. I could probably get behind this though I’d ideally get a long-term forward back in moving Risto.

LeBrun indicates VGK is putting the finishing touches on an 8-year deal for William Karlsson. That team is in desperate need of clearing cap. If I remember correctly they had the least amount of cap space in the league BEFORE this contract.
