So Vegas, how are you liking the Seattle team you are starting with?

I noticed my Wings left a 23 year old D player that we took in the first round just five years ago unprotected and you guys grabbed him. I can only guess Steve was not impressed with him.

They were talking about him last night on the ticker before the draft. He just never developed for us. Very disappointing but maybe he will fare better in Seattle.

I am not much of a hockey expert as I mostly only watch VGK games but it sounds like I expected that teams wised up after the expansion draft of 2017.

From what I've read, yeah definitely sounds like they didn't want a repeat of what Vegas pulled off back then.

ESPN has the Kraken 28 out of 32 teams in their new power rankings. Not bad for an expansion team. Also, their dog was listed at 9 of top 10. Quite the cutie.

I didn't want to make a new thread for this and did not see a Vancouver one with my quick check. So posted it here as the hero is a Kraken fan. If you need a feel-good story this is worth a read.

Hey Vegas you may want to try and catch the Frozen Four on ESPN tomorrow night and likely Saturday. Michigan had a bunch of players drafted to the NFL including one to both Seattle and Las Vegas.

Thanks for the heads up! Tomorrow night though I am going to a show that Toasterboy is doing here in Las Vegas and on Saturday I will be in Los Angeles for GCW. But it will be interesting to look to see how those players do.

Well that sounds like a good time. Have fun.
